Do you know how you sometimes feel embarrassed when your nails are broken, chipped and dry? This often happens during winter, when the air gets cold and dry, because during winter most nails don‘t get enough moisture and natural care, which is why winter nails are often kind of dull.
With the RIGHT CARE and a REGULAR ROUTINE you can maintain your beautiful, luscious, healthy summer nails all year round. Read how here
Have you ever tried to break a branch off a fresh tree full of green leaves on a summer day? If you have, you know it‘s close to impossible. Instead of breaking, the branch just bends backwards, and it takes a lot of force and twisting before it snaps off. In winter, however, when the tree has lost all its leaves, the branches snap off easily. It‘s the same with nails. One of the most common reasons your nails dry out and crack is a lack of moisture. That‘s why, in the winter, it‘s extra important to add moisture and care to your hands and nails from the outside. This ensures healthy looking nails, but also makes e.g. nail polish last longer and stay neat without peeling.
RescueRXx™ is a highly effective daily keratin treatment that repairs damaged nails with keratin protein and moisturizing jojoba oil. The secret to beautiful, unbreakable nails is a strong surface that strengthens the nail and reduces the risk of breakage and bending. Dry winter nails are in desperate need of that extra strenght. The solution? CND™ RescueRxx™. RescueRxx™ is an award-winning keratin treatment that has made a name for itself among nail enthusiasts for its effectiveness.
Under normal conditions, it's not possible for keratin to penetrate the nail from the outside because the molecules are too large. That's why the keratin in CND™ RescueRxx™ has been hydrolyzed, so it's able to enter through the nail plate. Modified polyamidoamine helps to transport the keratin by acting as a kind of conveyor belt, following and guiding the keratin to the right place.
Let CND™ RescueRXx™ be the hero to save your chipped and broken nails. To infinity and beyond!
As mentioned, lack of moisture is one of the main causes of nail chipping and cracking. Therefore, when the weather is dry and cold, you should add moisture from the outside. This is where we introduce CND™ SolarOil™.
SolarOil™ is an amazing oil for the nails and cuticles. It contains ingredients such as moisturizing jojoba oil, softening rice bran oil, nourishing almond oil and restorative vitamin E that make the nails extremely flexible while softening the cuticles. SolarOil™ is specially formulated to penetrate deep into the nail and provide care and nourishment from within, leaving nails flexible and unbreakable.
You might think that olive oil from the kitchen will suffice, but the molecules in ordinary oils are far too large for the oil to penetrate the nail plate. Therefore, you need an oil specifically designed for nails, and SolarOil™ is absolutely outstanding! Apply SolarOil™ directly to the natural nail or on VINYLUX™ or SHELLAC®.
The cuticles' main purpose is to protect the nail root from dirt and bacteria. Still, cuticles tend to get really thick and stubborn if we never treat them, and that doesn't look nice on either the natural nail or under a coat of nail polish.
In winter, cuticles become extremely dry, and the extended use of hand sanitiser and hand soap is not exactly moisturizing. Instead of cutting the cuticle, we recommend CND™ Cuticle Eraser™. A wonderful and nourishing AHA peel that prevents cuticle overgrowth and painful hangnails while hydrating nails and skin.
CND™ has some of the best products on the market for home nail care.
For best result, all three products should be included in your daily routine:
If your nails are in bad condition, you can perform the routine up to 4 times a day to kick-start the healing process. Once you start seeing improvements, you can scale back to 1-2 times a day and eventually just maintain the nails 2-3 times a week.
Nail care and proper nutrition are essential for beautiful, healthy and well-groomed nails, but there are also some external circumstances that can affect nail health. That's why we've put together a handful of tips on how to look after your nails in addition to the above routine:
