Use Healthy Nails to Beat Stress
When you feel stressed, your hands start to ache. How many times has that terrible friction surfaced between your knuckles and your nail? What’s worse? You then start to think that your nails are the only part of your body that is failing to handle the pressure. Sure, your skin feels dry, but the problem with dryness in the nail bed is that it damages the nails more than the rest of your body. For best results, try using nourishing and hydrating oils that will help revitalize and hydrate the nails. Just be careful not to use too much on your nails; it will only make them even more brittle and dry.
Take It One Day at a Time
Everyone has pain in their nails at some point in their life, but that doesn’t mean you have to keep stressing over them. Treat yourself to a nice manicure or polish every now and then, but instead of stressing over it, start by taking things one day at a time. The minute your job stress subsides, you can get back to enjoying a polish with your friends at a happy hour. By taking it day by day, you will be able to keep your manicure game at its highest.
Go Natural
You don’t need any unusual chemicals or additives when it comes to nail care, so opt for natural products whenever possible. A lot of our tips will help use natural bases as opposed to synthetic bases. When you add color, opt for exfoliating and porous polish over scratchy hard lines like acetone. It won’t hurt to try a product like Bioamber Nail Cream, which is made of moisturizing ingredients.
Pat it Down
Keep it simple and natural, and skip the scratching sticks and cotton swabs. Instead, keep a clean base layer of talcum powder on your nails. Rubbing over your manicure will keep your nails soft and healthy!
Stick with a Solid Base
It’s impossible to get the perfect manicure every time. In fact, finding the perfect base and top coat doesn’t happen in one go, so try to stick with the one that suits you best. The more you try to figure out what goes best with your nail polish, the more it can rub the nails with too much friction.
Continue to Trim in Due Course
The best way to avoid so many different tips is to trim your nails every month, preferably every couple of months. This keeps them from growing out into clumps and will prevent them from falling apart when pressed against doors and other hard surfaces. If it gets too obvious, you can go ahead and trim around the edges.
