How Can You Keep Your Nails Strong Before Your Next Spa Manicure?

How Can You Keep Your Nails Strong Before Your Next Spa Manicure?

The occasional break from acrylic or Gel-X nail extensions is beneficial to your nail health. However, your nails also tend to feel a little weaker after removing glue, polish or dip powder.

To fortify your nails between appointments, proper at-home care is key. We’ve broken down the four most important steps to strengthen your nails between spa manicures.

Keep Cuticle Oil Handy Between Manicures

A crucial part of any gel, acrylic or standard manicure is cuticle oil application. Made with hydrating ingredients, cuticle oil works wonders for dry nails and nail beds. 

Keep a bottle in your bag to help protect and nourish your hands between spa services. Applying cuticle oil a few times a day is a great way to care for your nails – plus, it feels fantastic!

Enjoy a Nutritious Diet

Like your hair and skin, nails also benefit from a nutritious, well-balanced diet. Add some extra fruits, veggies and protein to give your body what it needs to thrive; your nails will thank you!

Looking for an extra boost? There’s some evidence that supplements like biotin and keratin can help your nails stay strong (and even grow a bit faster!). Just make sure to check in with your healthcare provider before incorporating any new vitamins or supplements into your daily rotation.

Apply a Nail Strengthener

If you’re taking a break between dip powder nails, acrylics or gel manicures, you might notice your nails feel a bit fragile. That’s because these services require extensive buffing, which can take away a fine layer of your natural nail.

Applying a nail strengthener is ideal for protecting your nails between manicures; adding a layer around once a week is a great way to prevent your nails from breaking or peeling.

Book Spa Manicures Regularly

A professional service will always leave you with better results than a DIY manicure. Skilled nail technicians have the high-quality tools and expertise to ensure your natural nails stay as strong as possible.
