Revive Your Nails: Our Author's Journey to Salon-Quality Manicures at Home

After years of harsh gel manicures, our author's nails were in dire need of TLC. Now, they're on a mission to achieve salon-quality results at home, starting with proper cuticle care.

Neglected cuticles can cause a host of problems, from dryness and cracking to weakened nails and unsightly hangnails. But with regular care, they can be kept healthy and tidy. Here's how our author is tackling the task:

The process begins with washing hands and removing any old nail polish. Then, it's time to gently push back the cuticles, trimming any dead skin. A nourishing cuticle serum or oil is applied, followed by sealing with a hand balm or cream. This simple routine helps maintain strong nail growth and prevents chips and breaks. Additionally, regular care of the nail edges involves filing, buffing, and applying oil or moisturizing treatments to keep nails and surrounding skin healthy.

Our author has discovered that regular at-home cuticle care is key to maintaining nail health and a neat appearance. By using nourishing polishes and strengtheners, and applying cuticle oil regularly, they're well on their way to achieving that elusive salon-like manicure at home.
