Proper nail care can significantly improve your nail's appearance
- You know the saying: your hands show your age! No more so than in winter when dry skin and flaky nails can be a tell-tale sign of not enough TLC.
- A few factors that can potentially cause nail cuticles to become dry and damaged are prolonged exposure of nails to constant, yet necessary, hand washing and detergents and harsh chemicals.
- Other possible causes of dry cuticles can be a poor diet, thyroid problems or lack of moisture in the skin.

Treating Dry Cuticles
- Eat a well balanced diet. Diet is an important component in the health of your nails and cuticles.
- Stay hydrated! Drinking a lot of water is important to keep nails and cuticles moisturized.
- Biotin is a good supplement for maintaining healthy nails and cuticles. Biotin supplements are an excellent addition to strengthen nails and can also be applied directly on the nails.
- DO NOT aggressively cut cuticles. Apply oil and allow it to penetrate and follow up with the use of a cuticle pusher to gently push them back. *Cutting cuticles creates conditions for bacteria to enter in the body .
- Keep your hands and nails moisturized. Use a hydrating cream such as Hempz Lotion and apply Solar Oil daily.
- Pamper yourself with weekly manicures to keep your cuticles healthy and moisturized and nails looking fabulous!
- DO NOT use nails as tools, such as opening pop cans and scraping off labels. This will potentially cause nails to become weaker and brittle. Nails are Jewels….not tools.
- Wear gloves while gardening, washing dishes and doing other household work with harsh detergents and chemicals.
- DO NOT rip or pull hangnails, as bacteria can easily enter in the gap between the skin and the nail and potentially cause an infection.
