Daily Nail and Hand Routine
To keep hands looking youthful and manicure-ready at a moment’s notice, nail care is key! Push back cuticles and apply cuticle oil daily to help condition and soften cuticles. Take care to cut only hanging skin as needed. Wash hands with a non-drying soap and regularly apply an ultra-hydrating lotion to keep hands from looking ashy or dry.
