Sometimes icy cold, sometimes toasty warm, sometimes far too wet and sometimes far too dry: Winter demands a lot from our hands. Rain, cold and dry heating air can quickly make them brittle and cracked! If you know a few tips for beautiful nails, it should be much easier to get through the cold season with well-groomed hands. Beware of the risk of dehydration: Before spending long periods outdoors, your hands need a cream rich in oil, ideally applying it several times a day. Olive oil applied before going to bed is a real insider tip against extremely dry skin on the hands. After applying, put on thin cotton gloves and leave the oil on overnight - your skin will be soft to the touch in the morning!

Frost without frustration: tricks and tips for beautiful nails

Our fingernails also have to endure a lot during the winter months. They quickly become brittle in the cold, which can lead to splitting! One of the most important tips for beautiful nails: hand creams should always be massaged intensively into the nails - hand baths in milk and honey also work very well. Special care is required for the nail bed: The skin here becomes more elastic if nail oil or cream is carefully applied with circular movements. As the cuticle protects the nail bed from bacteria and dirt, it should never be cut, but only pushed back with a wooden stick wrapped in absorbent cotton.

Do you also like to wear color on your nails in winter? Of course, you don't have to do without nail polish now either. If you like natural fingernails, nude shades are best - but warm berry shades are also beautiful in the cold season.
