A professional manicure and pedicure from Jask Salon and Day Spa is a wonderful treat, leaving your nails looking flawless and polished, and can also benefit the overall health of your nails.
To extend the life of your nails and keep them looking and feeling their best between visits, follow these expert tips for at-home care:
#1 MOISTURIZE REGULARLY
Keeping your nails and cuticles hydrated is essential for maintaining the health and appearance of your manicure or pedicure. Use a high-quality hand cream and cuticle oil daily to prevent dryness and cracking. Pay special attention to your cuticles, as they protect new nail growth and can become damaged without proper care.
At Jask Salon and Day Spa, we love Gehwol which provides an intensive moisturizing cream for dry, rough, and tired feet; and, CND Sensations Lavender & Jojoba Lotion which is a deeply hydrating, velvety hand lotion that delivers essential moisture to the skin while offering a customized, aromatic spa experience.
#2 AVOID HARSH CHEMICALS
Exposure to harsh chemicals can weaken your nails and cause your polish to chip prematurely. For example, while cleaning or washing dishes, always wear gloves to protect your nails from chemicals and excessive water. Opt for gentle, non-acetone nail polish removers when it’s time to change your polish.
#3 TOUCH UP YOUR POLISH
Minor chips and cracks can be inevitable but they don’t have to ruin your professional nail service. Keep a matching nail polish at home for quick touch-ups. Apply a thin layer of polish over any chips and follow with a top coat to blend and seal. This simple step can significantly extend the life of your manicure. At Jask, we use some of the leading nail brands such as CND and essie.
#4 MAINTAIN NAIL LENGTH AND SHAPE
Regularly file your nails to maintain your desired length and shape. Use a gentle nail file, and always file in one direction to prevent splitting and peeling. Avoid using your nails as tools for opening packages or scratching surfaces as this can cause breakage and damage and shorten the life and look of your manicure.
