The conditioner improves the condition of the nails.
Nail conditioner is a cosmetic with a well-concentrated formula, the task of which is to act quickly and visibly improve the condition of the nail plate. Regular use of the conditioner is to provide us with healthy-looking and strong nails. Nail conditioners contain beneficial and specially selected active ingredients with proven effects, such as vitamins E and A, silk proteins, ceramides or a high content of keratin (naturally occurs in every nail plate).
The purpose of nails is to protect the phalanges from injuries and improve the grip of our fingers. They are made of keratin, one of the hardest and strongest structures of our body. But what if our nail plate is weakened? It is worth reaching for special nail conditioners. Products of this type are sold in a convenient form of varnish with a flexible brush, which makes them easy and quick to apply.
They are designed to significantly improve the condition of your nails, while also giving them a nice shine and natural glow. The best conditioners are those that are appropriately targeted to a given problem and can give visible results after just a few days of regular use.
How to care for your nail plate? Quick ways to care for your nails.
Hands are a tool that we use throughout the day. We are aware that they need special care. However, it is also worth focusing on nails, because hand care cosmetics will not provide them with proper hydration and nourishment. During the day, our nails are very often exposed to many harmful external factors and unfavorable situations. The best thing in this case is to use special products dedicated to nails. A good conditioner is not the only cosmetic that is worth having in your cosmetic bag. Below we present products that, in our opinion, are worth paying attention to, because they effectively care for and take care of nails, and at the same time professionally protect them from harmful external factors and mechanical damage.
Nail oils
As the name suggests, they have a greasy and oily formula. They are applied by gently rubbing into the nail plate, leaving it on the surface and waiting a moment for it to absorb into its structure. Such a nail oiling procedure repeated regularly strengthens the plate, causes faster nail growth, and at the same time provides good hydration, also in the case when the cuticles around the nails are torn.
Sweet almond oils are most often recommended, as they are excellent for regenerating the nail plate, and they also ensure healthy nails when used regularly. We also personally recommend castor oil, a product with many uses. It is irreplaceable in the care of hair and nails that split. It effectively cares for oily, weakened and falling hair, and at the same time actively combats nail plate splitting.
Nail serum
What is the difference between nail conditioners and serums? Both of these products are designed to take care of the good condition of our nails. Both have a well-chosen composition that strengthens the nail plate. The serum is more concentrated than the conditioner, which makes its effect stronger, and the effects appear faster than with a nail conditioner.
Nail polish
More and more often, you can find a 2-in-1 nail product in stores and drugstores, i.e. nail polish with added conditioner. This type of product often comes in the form of a colored polish, which at the same time makes the nails look beautiful, and at the same time takes care of them. They often resemble colored nail conditioner and have a similar composition. However, colored polishes have a much wider range of colors than nail conditioners. Both of these products will work perfectly, for example, on nails with discoloration, because they will mask the imperfections that worry us, and at the same time actively care for and nurture the plate.
It would be appropriate to mention the Sally Hansen brand, which is an unrivaled manufacturer of nail products. The nail conditioners of this company are already a legend. They also offer a wide range of other products, such as traditional colored nail polishes, hybrid nail polishes, and gel nail polishes.
Properly selected nail conditioner = Healthy and well-groomed nails
The best nail conditioner is one that is appropriately matched to the needs of our nails, and at the same time contains specially selected active ingredients, hardens the nail plate and makes them look good.
The best conditioner is often found through trial and error. If we are lucky the first conditioner we buy will be the one, if we are a little less lucky we will have to try several products to get the results we want.
However, it is worth remembering: healthy and well-groomed nails are well-moisturized nails.
Nail care after hybrid
Very often, mechanical damage, poor condition and weakening that our nails experience are related to subsequent professional hybrid manicure treatments. Too frequent and improperly performed manicure treatments can result in brittle nails in the long term, while damage to the nail plate caused, for example, by indelicate filing or removing the hybrid using a milling machine, can cause the plate to become soft, flexible, and often crumble and break.
Conditioners to strengthen brittle and fragile nail plates
Weak and brittle nails are not something that any of us desire. Especially now, when well-groomed nails are a sign of elegance and self-care. There can be many causes of brittle nails. For example, they can be the result of, among others, iron deficiency, vitamin C and A in too low concentration in the body, as well as a small amount of biotin and other nutrients.
In addition, frequent hand washing, regular exposure to strong and aggressive detergents, without the protection of gloves can lead to moisture loss, which can lead to poor nail condition. Brittle nails accompany many women.
Damaged nails
It is very difficult to restore a damaged nail plate to its proper condition. It is a long and arduous process. The first step is to pay attention to what caused this condition and eliminate it. Our care efforts will be useless when the nails are constantly exposed to unfavorable conditions. Sometimes it may be daily exposure to long-term moisture or working with irritating detergents without using protective gloves. Once we find the cause, we can start care.
In case of severe damage, we recommend multi-level action, i.e. self-care of nails at home and a visit to a specialist such as a beautician or podiatrist. It is worth paying attention to a cosmetic that hardens, strengthens, rebuilds and regenerates the nail plate.
