Strong nails are a sign of good health! With the cold, after repeated manicures or due to deficiencies, nails can however become dry and brittle... How to remedy this? Follow our advice!

Nothing beats beautiful, healthy nails, for aesthetic but also practical reasons. Soft, brittle and damaged nails can make our lives difficult. Brittle nails can be more or less annoying. It goes from the nail stuck in the fibers of the sweater to cracked nails and then it becomes more dangerous. Nails are like our hair, they need care and nutrient cures to stay in full health, especially in winter when they lack vitamins! If we take good care of them, nails grow 3 to 4 mm per day (much faster than hair) and are easy to maintain.

Why do nails get damaged?

While it is common in summer to have beautiful and long nails, in winter it is a different story. Weakened by the cold, the lack of light and nutrients, we quickly have brittle, pale and dry nails. Nails have the same composition as hair, strong in collagen and keratin they require a daily intake of nutrients in order to remain beautiful and strong. We regularly take care of our hair, so why not our nails?

How to have stronger nails?

We tend to forget them, yet to stay beautiful and strong, nails also require special attention. In summer, for example, we make sure to keep a minimum of hydration by applying a hand cream every day. We take the utmost care to choose a suitable varnish (the most natural possible is always better), some brands offer treatment varnishes. A good alternative for those who suffer from weakened nails! Generally speaking, to keep nails in full health, we make sure to moisturize them regularly, we rely on a balanced diet rich in vitamin B (biotin) which provides the nutrients necessary to boost the production of collagen and keratin.

Focus on food supplements

We all know that if everything is going well on the inside, it shows on the outside! It's the same for nails. A necessary intake of nutrients provides healthy nails. To complement a good diet, nothing beats taking food supplements. Brewer's yeast is at the top of the scores, it is the most renowned and above all the oldest technique to ensure long, beautiful, strong and pink nails (and hair)! Now the different brands of food supplements have understood the success of this and offer supplements with rich and complete formulas that specifically target the growth and strengthening of nails.

Make your own home care products

Nothing beats natural and homemade treatments! To complement taking food supplements, you can concoct your own homemade treatments and say stop to chemical products.

• For clean nails, nothing beats soaking your fingers in lemon juice. Leave it on for about five minutes. You can also simply rub a lemon wedge on your nails. To avoid tingling, make sure your fingers are free of wounds before taking the plunge!
• For strong nails, we rely on olive oil. Heat three good tablespoons of olive oil for minutes in a saucepan or bain-marie. Pour everything into a small bowl and then coat your hands with it while massaging. Focus on the nails to soak them in the benefits of olive oil.
• We scrub with sugar! Yes, nails also deserve their scrub. To remove dead skin, smooth the nail and soften the cuticles, we rely on a sugar and honey scrub.

Relying on castor oil as a treatment

For a completely natural treatment, we rely on the benefits of castor oil ! Renowned for restoring shine and vigor to nails, castor oil is applied by massaging each nail, morning and evening. For greater effectiveness, apply the oil before bedtime and leave it on overnight to saturate the nail as much as possible.

Hardener varnish, yes or no?

It is to be used punctually for nail maintenance. It is also very useful, as soon as we notice a weakness in the nail and we do not have time to give it the necessary care! The advantage of the hardening varnish is that it can be applied before the classic varnish, it will thus act as protection for the weakened nail.

We say yes to nail serums

Two to three times a year, do not hesitate to do a complete course of nail serum . At ROSEGOLD, our ROSENAIL serum is used as a course of 1 to 6 months depending on each person's needs.
