Five tips and tricks for great hands and nails – Hamilton Spectator

At Westdale Nail & Spa in Hamilton, Ontario, clients are always wondering how to keep that fresh manicure feeling going between treatments. Life is busy, and our hands and nails take a lot of abuse. From washing dishes, working, and doing daily activities and chores, your hands and nails don’t always look as soft and as youthful as you want them to be.

Aside from getting regular manicures from Westdale Nail & Spa, here are five ways to keep your hands looking great when you don’t have an esthetician around to pamper you.

1.    Lotion

When you get your manicure at Westdale Nail & Spa your esthetician uses high quality hand lotion as part of the service. Extend that feeling by frequently applying lotion at home and at work. Keep a little tube in your purse or in your desk drawer to make it easy. Apply it after washing your hands, and after cleaning.

2.    Take your vitamins

If you have dry, brittle nails, it might be a sign that you need to take your vitamins. Vitamins in the B family are perfect for maintaining your nail health. B12 and Biotin are both great vitamins for this purpose. But even though these are readily available, it’s important to discuss these with a medical professional. Always read the labels and make sure it’s right for you.

3.    Wear gloves

From doing dishes to cleaning your bathtub, water and harsh chemicals and soaps can be very drying. Keep your hands supple, and your nails hydrated by protecting them when doing household chores. It might seem like a pain, but your hands will thank you for it! This will also prevent your polish from chipping.

4.    Protect them from the sun

To prevent age spots and sun damage, don’t forget your hands when applying sunscreen. Like your face, your hands are often exposed to the elements when outdoors. You don’t have to stay inside all summer, but make sure you apply sunscreen to all exposed skin when you’re outside.

5.    Go for a polish change

Going to Westdale Nail & Spa for a full manicure is amazing! Getting the complete treatment is great for your hands and nails. However, if the polish begins to chip, or grow out, your nails might start looking a little worse for wear. If you’re hopeless when it comes to applying nail polish, leave it to the professionals. Westdale Nail & Spa offers a polish change service. You can use this even if you’re just bored with the colour you’re wearing and want something else.

While it’s great to do these things for yourself at home, nothing beats the feeling of having a professional manicure. Treat yourself today!
