Top 7 Ways to Caress Your Nail Art

Who said a rugged skin means no room for nail art? The craze for nail art simply gets crazier with each passing day. However, most women are skeptical about nail art because it requires proper maintenance. Here are the top ways you can look after both your hands and the stunning art on your nails.

Wash your hands with a milky hand wash – When the cleaner is very clear, the chances are that your skin will get completely dried out. If you want to give priority to your nail art, use a hand wash having natural antibacterial ingredients. Say goodbye to the soaps, which are loaded with chemicals and say hello to natural items like eucalyptus or tea tree.

Avoid washing your hands with either very cold or very hot water – Very hot water makes the skin dry out thoroughly by extracting away the sebum. Very cold water, on the other hand, leads to a constriction and thereby a dilation of the skin’s capillary vessels, and thus the redness. So, always engage your hands in normal tap water and avoid hot and icy water.

Keep your hands moisturized – It is very important for the skin to receive adequate moisture, and this can be best achieved by the application of oil to the skin. We do not mean you should directly apply oil to your hands but use creams, which have a high content of oil in their list of ingredients.

Have a good knowledge of how to caress the cuticles – Dry and torn cuticles defeat the purpose of getting a manicure or nail art done because your nails will look old anyways. But the solution does not lie in cutting the cuticles. By doing so, you will only be inviting infection, and the look of the nails will further deteriorate. To take care of those unwanted cuticles, regularly exfoliate your hands using the scrub you use for your body. No nail art, no matter how expensive, will look good on a nail with cuticles.

After sanitizing, do not forget to moisturize – Who would want to moisturize their hands after washing or sanitizing them? Probably not even the ones, who are not lazy! But this step is highly essential in taking care of the nail art. You might not want to do this, but it is important nevertheless. Sanitizers contain high alcohol content, which dehydrates the skin and nails. The polish on the nails chips off much faster. Always moisturize your hands once the sanitizer has dried.

Use a sunscreen – No, sunscreen is not used only for the face. Your hands too can wrinkle and look worn out just like your skin. Protect your hands with a good sunscreen and even out the not so pleasant spots.

Use anti-ageing cream – There are plenty of anti-ageing creams available in the market for the face. Use this same cream on your hands too. Apply at the back of the hands to make your hands a little more elastic.
