Why this worksNails can become dry and brittle, especially with seasonal changes. By incorporating a nourishing routine into your evening, you can maintain hydration and flexibility, helping to prevent breakage. This routine focuses on moisture and protection, ensuring your nails look their best come morning.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Remove Old Polish Start by gently removing any old nail polish with a non-acetone remover. This prevents buildup and allows the nourishing products to penetrate effectively.
  2. Trim and File Nails Use a nail clipper to trim your nails to a desirable length, then file them to smooth out any rough edges. This helps prevent snagging and promotes a polished look.
  3. Moisturise with Cuticle Oil Apply a generous amount of cuticle oil around the base of each nail. This nourishes the cuticles and surrounding skin, promoting healthier nail growth.
  4. Hydrate with Hand Cream Finish your routine by applying a rich hand cream all over your hands, focusing on the nails and cuticles. This locks in moisture overnight, keeping your hands and nails soft.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip cuticle oil, thinking it's unnecessary, but it’s crucial for nail health. Others might not moisturise their hands enough, leading to dryness. Also, avoid harsh nail polish removers that can strip nails of moisture.

The pro moveKeep a bottle of cuticle oil by your bedside for easy nighttime application.
