Well, another week is behind us. It’s that time of year again: Summer (or so we’re told) is right around the corner and your nail appointment is right around the corner. Unfortunately, it isn’t always easy to make it through the nail-care treatment without some minor damage. Now, if you have nail injuries or dehydration-related nail-related complaints, here are a few tips you should definitely follow when you plan to go abroad to enjoy that warm tan.
Plan Ahead
When traveling, make sure to have a plan ahead of time. Plan your nail treatments for each trip you plan on visiting so that you avoid unnecessary expenses. When you arrive, take your new shades with you and go to a salon that has a reasonable waiting time for your appointment. For instance, in Mexico, we recommend telling a staffer at your hotel where you are staying and the exact date and time of your appointment for the cheapest price.
Get Good Care at Home
Don’t neglect your care at home and check your nails after a few weeks. The first thing you should check is that the nail has not begun to fester. The obvious sign of not taking good care of your nails would be a dry, cracked, and even brittle look. It also seems that it is falling off before your nails have even dried. Before the cuts finish growing back, you’ll want to clean your cuticles, even if you feel sensitive to the idea of doing so. Treat them with cream for the best results.
Do Exfoliate
If your nails are brittle and smudgey, a good exfoliator can really help in the healing process. Exfoliating is used for a good reason, and it literally helps with the condition of your nails, making them stronger. This should be done at least twice a week, which will be clear when you wash your hands, the surfaces of which you have been handling during the course of your visit.
Apply a Top Coat
Another thing you should try to do is to apply some top coat. This will not only help in sealing and protecting your nails, but you can also use a top coat to prevent the spread of bacteria into your products. We tend to use a smoothing top coat to apply, but use a lightening top coat if you prefer.
Change Your Cuticle
It’s important to never leave your cuticles alone. Leave them natural so they don’t fade. Leave them natural so they can keep their shape and prevent any additional bacteria from entering your nails. Start removing your cuticles when you arrive and finish the process before your treatment.
Restoring Nails
Take care of your nails at home so that you can restore your nails when you get to your destination. Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t take good care of them when you travel. Keep your nails healthy at home so that you can care for them in a way that supports their healing process and of course, prevent any further infections.
