Gel polish is a great solution for a perfect manicure that lasts for weeks. However, with frequent application and especially with improper removal, it can weaken the nail plate, make nails thin, brittle and dull. To restore their health and strength, it is enough to pay a little attention to restoration. We at joy-pup share three simple but effective steps.
Proper nutrition and hydration
After removing gel polish, it is important to restore the natural balance of nails. They need deep nutrition and hydration. Use the following products.
- Cuticle and nail oils. Use natural oils – jojoba, almond, argan or coconut. Rub them into the nail plate and cuticle daily.
- Creams and serums. Pay attention to special care products with vitamins A, E, B5 and keratin. They strengthen the structure of the nail and promote its growth.
- Home baths. Regularly do baths with sea salt and lemon juice. Salt strengthens the nail plate, and lemon whitens and adds shine.
Protection and strengthening of nails
When nails are weakened, they need to be strengthened and protected from external factors. Use treatment coatings that strengthen the nail plate. Look for products with calcium, keratin or proteins. When removing nail polish, choose gentle products without acetone. When doing housework, wear gloves to protect your nails from household chemicals. Also, give your nails a rest of at least 2-3 weeks between procedures.
Maintain your nails from the inside
The beauty of your nails depends not only on external care, but also on how you eat. Add foods rich in protein, calcium, zinc and biotin to your diet: eggs, nuts, legumes, fish and greens. Also take vitamins for nails and drink plenty of water, because dehydration makes nails brittle.
