-Moisturizing is equally important. Constant use of detergents can dry out the skin. Further, ones nails get dry and brittle with time and with the use of nail polish. Invest in a good hand cream or a body lotion and spread some on before sleeping every night.
-Cut and file your nails as and when required. The cuticle around the nails can become unsightly, so get it cleaned off at regular intervals.
-If you are planning to do any major housework or gardening, always wear gloves. This will help protect your hands from cuts and bruises and prevent them from getting rough.
-Once every week, give your hand a good exfoliation session. Soak your palms in warm water and then use your face scrub to get rid of all the grime around your nails. This will also help boost the blood circulation in the hands, leaving them soft.
-If you spend a lot of time outdoors, then make sure you wear sunscreen.
-Always try and give your nails a breather between the times you polish them. Polish is not healthy if left on for too long.
