How to Keep Your Mani-Pedi Looking Fresh: Expert After Care Tips
Have you just got that nice manicure and pedicure? Well, now it’s the time to ensure those nicely-manicured nails stay that way. This calls for proper aftercare and makes your mani-pedi last with healthy nails. This blog post is going to give you the inside scoop by the experts on how to keep it like new from the salon.
♥ Immediate Aftercare
Stay away from water for a couple of hours after your appointment so nails remain thoroughly dry and the polish sets perfectly.
Let them air dry: Not to even think about using the hot hair dryer, which can chip off your polish.
♥ Avoid Bumps
Be observant not to bump into so many things that may cause your nails to hit other hard objects.
♥ Daily Care Routine
⇒ Wash hands with lukewarm water, using a light soap. Avoid strong chemical elements and aggressive scrubbing.
⇒ Hydrating your cuticles with nourishing cuticle oil or hand cream several times a day is also important.
⇒ Protect your nails from harsh chemicals and detergents by wearing gloves when cleaning or doing chores.
♥ Nail Polish Maintenance
⇒ Magic Top Coat: Applied once every few days, this coat helps seal the color and prevents chipping later.
⇒ Touch-Ups with Care: If your varnish chips, touch up the area with a quick-dry top coat.
⇒ Avoid picking: This is a nagging tendency and hence should be avoided, as picking at nails can cause damage and serious infections.
