Maintaining your manicure

Here are some pointers on how to make the most of your manicure:

1. Wear gloves when washing dishes, cleaning, or gardening to prevent chips and nail weakening.
2. Moisturize cuticles daily with cuticle oil to prevent dryness and lifting at the edges.
3. Avoid using nails as tools (e.g., to open cans, scratch off labels).
4. Limit prolonged hot water exposure (long baths, hot tubs) since heat and moisture can cause lifting.
5. File any small chips immediately to prevent further peeling.
6. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals — even with gloves, rinse hands afterward.
7. Book maintenance appointments if you have gel types, acrylic, or dip nails to refresh and repair any lifting.
