THE BASICS

-

START WITH MOISTURE Keeping your hands and fingernail­s moisturize­d is key to keeping them healthy. Introducin­g a cuticle oil to your routine never goes amiss. Apply it religiousl­y every night before going to bed to maximize its benefits. In order to integrate the product into your daily regimen, keep it on your bedside table.

CHOOSE YOUR TOOLS You don’t need a ton of accessorie­s to take care of your nails. More often than not, a file and a cuticle stick are enough. File delicately from the outside to the centre without creating a back-and-forth movement that will weaken the nail. Every week, try to gently push the cuticles back, ideally after a bath or shower.
