Natural Nail Care Essentials for Stronger, Healthier Nails
Taking a break from gel or acrylic extensions does not mean neglecting your hands. A simple at-home routine can help you keep your natural nails neat, moisturised and less prone to splitting. Start with sharp nail clippers for regular trimming, then use a gentle double-sided nail file to shape the edges. File in one direction rather than sawing back and forth, which can cause small tears. Use a buffing block lightly to smooth ridges, but avoid over-buffing. Follow with cuticle oil and a rich hand cream to restore moisture around the nail bed and prevent dry, rough skin. For a polished finish while your nails recover, try a strengthening clear top coat or a sheer nude polish. It gives a clean, natural look without the upkeep of gel manicures.
