Nail Care Secrets: Keeping Your Cuticles Hydrated This Summer

Summer brings endless sunshine, beach trips, and outdoor fun. However, the combination of chlorine, salt water, and sun exposure can sap moisture from your hands and feet. In this article, our master aesthetician Sophia Loren outlines the exact steps to keep your nails and cuticles healthy, hydrated, and ready for any summer nail art design.

1. The Golden Rule: Cuticle Oil Daily

Apply a high-quality jojoba or sweet almond-oil-based cuticle oil at least twice a day. The oil mimics natural skin oils, soaking deep into the nail matrix to promote strong, flexible growth.

2. Protect with SPF and Hydrating Creams

Just like your face, your hands show signs of aging. Apply SPF 30+ to your hands before driving or spending time outdoors. Wash hands with mild soaps and follow immediately with a rich shea butter cream.
