Extra care in winter
It's not just your skin that suffers in winter from the constant change between icy cold and dry heated air, your fingernails also need an extra dose of care. It starts with the right filing.
Perfectly groomed hands
Glass or mineral files are best suited for this. They shape the nails more gently than a metal file. Tip: If possible, only file in one direction, otherwise the nail can split easily. Care polishes even out grooves and strengthen the nail. Regular application of cream is also essential for perfectly groomed hands.
Here we tell you how to look after your hands and nails properly in everyday life:
1. file correctly
The best way to file your nails is with a glass file. Make sure you only file in one direction at a time, from the outside to the center.
2. the right polish
Not only our nail shape, but also the nail polish color makes a big difference to the impression of our hands. Light shades and pastel colors make our nails look bigger. Dark shades, on the other hand, make our fingernails look smaller.
3. base coat is the be-all and end-all
Always use a base coat before applying polish. It evens out any unevenness and protects the nails from discoloration caused by colored nail polish.
4. suitable nail polish remover
When buying nail polish remover, make sure that it is acetone-free.
5. care and protection
Wear gloves when cleaning so that the cleaner and water do not dry out the skin even more. Take care of your hands by applying cream regularly. Your nails will also benefit from a little extra care with nail oil every now and then.
