To make the best of your newly manicured hands, follow
these simple guidelines:
- Leave adequate time after your treatment for your
nails to dry
- Wear protective gloves when gardening, or doing
housework
- Dry hands thoroughly after washing
- Use hand cream regularly
- Do not use your fingernails as tools, use pads of
fingers instead
- Always use a base coat under polish to prevent
staining, and use a good quality top coat to prevent chipping
- Use an acetone-free nail polish remover
- Never use metal files
- Keep nails a workable length
- Use cuticle cream or oil daily to moisturise dry cuticles
- Drink plenty of water and eat well
- Do simple hand exercise to keep joints supple
- Avoid harsh and drying soaps
- Return to your manicurist for regular, professional
manicures at least every 2-4 weeks for maintenance and further treatments
