Expert Care You Can Do at Home
Winter can be tough on your hands and nails. Cold winds, indoor heating, and frequent handwashing can leave nails brittle, cuticles dry, and skin rough. But keeping your nails healthy this season doesn’t require a professional appointment every week—you can achieve salon-worthy results right at home with the right care and tools. Here’s how to protect, nourish, and maintain beautiful nails this winter.
1. Hydrate Daily with a Hand & Nail Serum
One of the easiest ways to keep nails strong during winter is by moisturizing consistently. A high-quality hand and nail serum, like the one from Navy Professional, penetrates deep into the nail bed and cuticles, providing essential hydration and nutrients. Apply a few drops to clean hands and massage into nails and cuticles daily, especially before bed, to repair winter damage and promote healthy growth.
2. Pamper Your Hands with Nourish Hand Gloves
For an extra boost of hydration, try Nourish Hand Gloves. These soft, comfortable gloves lock in moisture from your serum and cream, allowing your hands to absorb nourishing ingredients overnight or during a relaxing self-care session. Navy Professional hand gloves are designed to fit snugly, ensuring maximum effectiveness and leaving your hands feeling soft and rejuvenated.
3. Keep Cuticles Neat and Healthy
Dry winter air can cause cuticles to crack and peel, which may affect nail growth. Using precise cuticle tools, like the ones in the Navy manicure range, helps you gently push back and trim cuticles safely. Always soften your cuticles first with a serum or warm water soak, then use your tools carefully to maintain a clean, polished look. Avoid cutting too aggressively, as this can lead to irritation or infection.
4. Strengthen Nails from Within
While external care is crucial, strong nails also come from proper nutrition. Ensure you’re eating a balanced diet rich in biotin, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids to support nail strength and growth. Pair this with topical treatments like Navy Professional nail serums for a holistic approach. You can alos try our Vitamin Nail Treatment.
5. Protect Your Nails from the Elements
Gloves aren’t just for fashion—they’re essential winter protection. Whenever you’re outside in cold weather or cleaning with harsh chemicals, wear gloves to prevent nails and skin from becoming dry and brittle. This simple step preserves both nail health and the manicure you’ve worked hard to maintain.
6. Stick to Gentle Nail Care
Winter is not the time for aggressive filing, harsh polishes, or overuse of gel removers. Stick to gentle buffing and moisturising, and let nails breathe when possible. Navy Professional nail care products are formulated to enhance your natural nails, providing strength and shine without causing damage.
The Navy Difference
Using high-quality manicure tools and products makes a noticeable difference in nail health. Navy Professional’s hand and nail serum, cuticle tools, and hand gloves are designed to bring professional care into your home. With consistent use, you’ll notice stronger nails, softer cuticles, and hands that look and feel nourished—no salon appointment required.
