The Case For Aerating Nails Compared to Other Tips For Healthy Nails
The New York Times and Vogue have combined to bust some delicious nutritional news for you. Specifically, the two publications announced the return of a new technique in the beauty world: aerating nails.
While it may sound like a painful concept, proponents say taking a dunk in warm salt water can clean the nail beds and boost nutrition, like being able to eat more protein. Like always, it all comes down to moderation.
In a story about vitamin C-rich abacabara seeds to add to your staple list of fruit and vegetable powders, the Times reports on the benefits of calcium as well. Most notable, nutritionists also think calcium’s appearance on your face and neck can improve skin tone and prevent fine lines. While you’re at it, it’s good to start eating more nuts, seeds, and the like to increase your vitamin C intake — just be mindful of side effects like an upset stomach, diarrhoea, or vomiting.

The beauty side of the story included three new claims in nail technology as well. We’re giddy just thinking about how easy it is to replace your normal nail color with bright ones. Instead of using a standard hammer to polish, Salon Monaco now offers a one-step UV waterjet nail salon service. Sounds like a treat for the nail salon aficionado in your life.
As Vogue states, they’ve also adopted a heat-extraction pedicure. It’s a DIY technique similar to nail painting, but instead of using cotton mitts, you use a cotton ball and heat crystals. Every nail is painted with a different bright color as the crystals switch colors. The process can take up to an hour, though Vogue says it makes the nails up to five shades different.
Those aren’t the only ways to improve your nails, though. You can begin hydrating your nails by applying a topical omega-3 additive. A couple of weeks before treatment, take a vitamin K supplement and apply it top-down on your nail beds. The Vogue piece also recommends an electrolyte solution like Waterbroom’s Tip Water for a scrubbing effect, and gentle polishes that make UV protection easier.
It’s basically a whole world of tips and health tips for your toenails. Yeah, we’d be losing our minds too.
