Dry, split nails and cuticles
MAY BE DUE TO:
Regular use of nail polish and nail polish remover.
Your nail polish remover containing acetone, which dries out your nails.
Repeated exposure of your hands to water and detergents.
The fact that our nails become drier as we get older.
WHAT TO DO:
Use a nail polish remover that is free from acetone, oil, colour and perfume.
Exfoliate your cuticles once a week.
Use cuticle oil and cuticle cream every day.
Strengthen your nails with a nail strengthener for dry nails.
/ START
Choose the right nail polish remover
Good nail care starts with choosing the right nail polish remover. If you clean your nails with products that are too strong and contain acetone, for example, your nails will dry out, and it will take longer to restore their strength and flexibility. Nail polish removers should not contain oil, colour or perfume either, since these can cause discolouration of the nail plate. Oil makes it more difficult to apply nail polish afterwards, as oil residues can remain on the nail, and, as a result, the polish will not adhere as it should.
We recommend: Environmentally adapted nail polish remover that carries the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. Available as dip-in, 100 ml and 250 ml
Step 2
Clean your cuticles regularly
The next important step in achieving beautiful nails involves using a cuticle peeling product that removes dead skin cells and traces of skin from the nail and cuticle. The biggest advantage of this is that it makes your nails look more attractive. Removing the dead skin cells allows an improved flow of nutrients to the place where they are needed most – the nail root. It is also much easier to apply polish if you have cleaned the area around the cuticle. Peeling is a product that is often overlooked, but it is the most important product you can use if you want strong, healthy nails.
We recommend: Cuticle Peeling
Step 3
Rehydrate with nail oil
Nail oil strengthens, restores the moisture balance, and improves the condition of your nails. Massage the oil into your nails and cuticles. If you wear nail polish, the oil can be applied over the polish. Use every day where possible.
We recommend: Grape & Avocado Nail Oil
Step 4
Dry, cracked cuticles
Dry hands and cracked cuticles? For soft, supple cuticles, try applying a special cream. Be sure to apply it every day until your cuticles feel sufficiently soft.
We recommend: Aloe Vera Hand & Cuticle Cream
/ Result
Protective nail strengthener
Treat your nails to a more intensive treatment now and again to moisturise and restore the structure of the nail plate.
We recommend: Strength Overnight – a nail strengthener that can be left to work overnight and is washed off in the morning.
