3 tips that will help you get a perfect manicure
There are different ways of taking care of nails at home. However, 3 ones are the best to treat your nails even every day.
- The most well-known home method of nail care is soaking them in heated olive oil or rubbing it into a plate. This is a valuable feature that you can use in many ways: from cooking to strengthening nails to improving the condition of hair and skin. You can use oil in two ways: rub it into a plate or heat it up and soak your nails in it. In both cases, the effect will be similar: the oil will act as a nourishing cocktail, which will moisturize and make the plate more elastic, while brightening it and eliminating discoloration. To make your nails healthy and strong rub a little bit of oil into cleaned, degreased and dried nails and the cuticles around them, preferably in the evening. Repeat for at least 2 weeks. You can wear cotton gloves on your hands so you don't rub oil into the sheets.
- When you clean your house and use some detergents – remember to wear rubber gloves. This way your nails won’t get hurt. Otherwise they can start to split.
- If you are interested in strengthening weakened nails it is also important to file them short. Remember – the weaker the nails, the shorter you should file them, as well as protect against chemicals and damage.
