Struggling with brittle, thin, cracked nails? You're not alone. But, there's one thing you might not know about that could totally change your natural nail game.
Let's face it, having strong natural nails that don't break takes work. Sure, genetics help, but it's often something that happens over time, with the right products. So, have you heard of....
drumroll....
CUTICLE OIL?
Cuticle oil is the NUMBER ONE product you should use for your nails, multiple times a day, and especially before bed. This oil, typically made from jojoba and vitamin E, is made to build strong and healthy nails. Here's how it helps:
1 – Provides moisture
Nails need a serious amount of moisture to be able to grow properly. Many of us think that hand lotion is enough, but that's not the case. Our nails need cuticle oil to grow in strong, and continue to be strong as we wear mani after mani.
2 – Helps create a long-lasting mani
Have you ever put on nail polish, only to have it chip within 24 hours? This is most likely because your nails are so dry that the polish has nothing to latch on to, and chips right off at the slightest bend of the nail. Using cuticle oil on your bare nails AND over your nail polish is key to keeping that mani on for 2+ weeks. Yes, even with regular polish!
3 – Prevents hangnails
Getting those little bits of skin hanging around the nail is so annoying. This usually happens when we trim the cuticle area instead of pushing back our cuticles with a pusher. Using cuticle oil will keep the whole nail area moist, and it becomes very easy to push back the cuticles. When you incorporate cuticle oil into your daily routine, your nails and fingers will become soft and supple, and you should only clip the cuticle area when it's truly necessary. This will prevent those pesky hangnails and keep the cuticle area looking pretty darn perfect.
