Tips for winter nail care - How to protect your nails in cold weather!

The cold winter months are not only a challenge for your skin, but also for your nails. Dry air, harsh weather, and sudden temperature changes can all contribute to brittle and weak nails.

The following tips can help you keep your nails healthy and beautiful. Are there any that you have already paid attention to?

1. Protect your nails from the cold

Wear gloves when you're outside in cold weather! Direct cold temperatures and wind can significantly weaken the structure of your nails and dry out your nail beds. Choose gloves that are warm but made of breathable material so your nails can "breathe."

2. Hydration at a Master Level

Use nail care oils and hand creams that are rich in vitamin E and other nutrients. Massage the oil into the cuticles at the nail ridges, and you can even polish it into the nail plate.

3. Avoid excessive hand washing and chemicals

Although hygiene is even more important during the winter months, excessive hand washing or frequent use of chemicals can easily dry out your nails. Use gentle, moisturizing soaps, and always wear rubber gloves when working with chemicals (Nitrile Rubber Gloves Black - S 100pcs).

4. Maintain your nails

Winter is especially hard on your nails, so file and shape them regularly to prevent them from splitting. Choose a fine-grit file (Nail File - Polish super shiner) that is gentle on your nails, and always file in one direction to avoid further splitting.

5. Use a strengthening base coat

In winter, even more attention should be paid to protecting your nails. FX Base - Nail Strengthening Base Coat for Nail Polish - 7ml has a beautiful, slightly pinkish color, protects against discoloration, and provides bombproof adhesion to nail polish.

6. Eat nutrient-rich foods

A healthy diet also plays a big role in the health of your nails. Eat foods rich in biotin, such as eggs, almonds, and sweet potatoes. Zinc, iron, and protein also help strengthen and regenerate your nails.

7. Pay attention to proper hydration from the inside too

We tend to drink less water in cold weather, but staying hydrated from the inside is also essential for nail health. Drink at least 1.5-2 liters of water a day to prevent them from drying out.
