Now that we have kicked “2020” to the curb, it’s the perfect time to kick some of those bad habits you have in doing your nails too. After all, it’s winter now and your nails will take a beating. Taking care of them can be difficult but there are ways you can make it easy (and less expensive) because you can get nail products that do double-duty.
I am always interested in getting tips, tricks, and insights from doctors. To me, doctors will be honest and tell you exactly how to use the product successfully. With Dr.’s Remedy Nail Products, you can’t beat it when 2 male physicians can tell you how to best use these nail productS!
New York Board Certified Podiatrists and Co-Founders of Dr.’s Remedy Enriched Nail Polish, Dr. William Spielfogel (left) and Dr. Adam Cirlincione (right) offer these tips and tricks to help you usher in a healthy new year.
Get Out of the Gel Manicure Habit –
The gel manicure, while convenient and long-lasting, can wreak havoc on your nails.
–The toxins plus exposure to the UV light increases the risk for melanoma and UV-induced skin aging.
–And the communal pot of gel powder is a veritable melting pot of bacteria which can lead to infection.
–The gel removal process can further damage nails from over-buffing which takes off layers of the natural nail, causing weak, brittle nails.
Start the new year with a natural manicure. Try using products that are good for your nails and offer a “gel-like” finish such as Dr.’s Remedy Calming Gel-Performing Finish for the look and feel of a gel manicure without any damage to your nails.
Take a Bite from Nail Biting
Nail biting, picking and pulling on fingernails and finger sucking are the leading causes of bacterial and fungal nail infections and ingrown nails. All of these can make the skin around the nails vulnerable and ripe for bacterial or fungal overgrowth. To help stop these bad habits, try frequent hand washing with antibacterial soap to keep nails clean and healthy or wear a clear polish such as Dr.’s Remedy Total Two-in-One which encourages nail growth and helps protect healthy nails from possible infection or damage.
Cut Out the Cuticle Clipping!
It’s this simple, stop cutting your cuticles. The more you cut them, the more damage you do and the harder it is to stop. Cuticles should be gently pushed back for a clean, polished look and any excess should be lightly exfoliated. Extreme weather conditions such as winter dryness and summer heat often require hydrating and soothing irritated cuticle beds. Try using a product specifically designed for cuticle care such as Dr.’s Remedy Caress Cuticle Oil which can help moisturize and nourish your cuticles.
Refrain from Picking Off Your Polish!
Picking off your nail polish is likely to remove a top layer of your nail. Over time this causes weaker, thinner nails leading to breakage and peeling and possible infection. To safely and easily remove your polish, try using a gentle nail polish remover without acetone such as Dr.’s Remedy Acetone Free Remover which contains vitamins and proteins specifically designed for nail health.
Stop Abusing Your Hands and Nails!
Thinking of our nails like tools provokes damage to them. There’s always something else you can use to scrape off a label or slip a key on a keyring. And wearing gloves while using cleaning products and washing dishes helps protect your hands too as the chemicals in cleaning products can dry out your hands and weaken your nails.
Moisturizing is a Must – Dry, cracked hands are not only unsightly but they can be extremely painful. Keep hands well moisturized by washing them in lukewarm water which retains moisture and moisturize often. For an added benefit, look for a moisturizer with sunscreen to help against the daily UV rays hands are exposed to. You can also use a moisturizing treatment for your nails such as Dr.’s Remedy Hydration Nail Treatment which is infused with Pentavin and Biotin to help moisturize and strengthen nails.
