How to care for your nails at home now that you can’t go to the salon – AsiaOne

By daniellenierenberg

Just because you cant head to a nail salon right now doesnt mean you should neglect your hands, feet and nails. Plus, the excessive hand washing youve been doing still the most reliable way to protect yourself and your family from Covid-19 can also strip skin of its natural oils and leave it dry. Heres what you can do:

If youre lazy, just use a body scrub in the shower, starting from the feet up. But for a little DIY pampering, start with a foot soak to soften rough heels and soles, then use a foot scrub.

This is important, especially for the hands, as the skin there is thinner than the rest of the body. Its also one of the first places to show signs of ageing. Plus, if the skin on your hands and feet are extremely dry, it could develop micro cracks that allow germs in, making you unwell.

Did you know that massaging cuticle oil on your cuticles and nails every day can improve blood flow to the nail matrix (the root), which makes your nails strong and healthy? If you tend to forget, keep the bottle by your WFH work desk or at your bedside as a nightly reminder.

Here are seven treats to get your hands, feet and nails looking great, when youre stuck at home:

Sweet almond oil and shea butter nourish skin, strengthen nails, and keep your hands soft.

Not everyone likes using a thick, heavy cream, especially when you dont have the aircon on when you work from home. The heat just makes it all the more sticky.

This lotion is lightweight yet intensively hydrates hands with organic shea butter, USDA-certified organic jojoba seed oil and rice bran oil, yet remains lightweight on the skin.

The latter ingredient contains vitamin E, which protects your hands against UV damagewhich helps give added projection if you work by the window.

A five-oil blend of jojoba, sunflower, argan, pomegranate and tamu moisturise dry cuticles, keeping nails healthy, and soothing skin. We love the rollerball for fuss-free application and the delicate citrus and rose geranium scent.

You wear the mask like socks that reach up to mid-shin, taping the tabs down for a snug fit. The inside of the mask contains its formula of 7 essential oils and 11 herbs (including spearmint, eucalyptus, grapefruit, bergamot, juniper and thyme) to relieve tired feet and legs, and keep them soft and hydrated.

For quick exfoliation in the shower, use this creamy body scrub. It contains finely milled pumice stone and bamboo stem to gently buff away dead skin cells and dirt. Skin feels smoother and softer, from top to toe.

So for those of who missed my stories early last week, I wanted to start a fun @drunkelephant tag myself so I came up with #silisaturday ? I have been really enjoying lathering myself up with the new Sili Body Lotion. It is so light, absorbs quickly into the skin but your skin is still left feeling hydrated & soft - no greasy residue, which is something I hate in a lot of body lotions / body butters. There is a very subtle sweet almond scent but you have to really look for it in order to smell it. I remember opening the bottle to smell it and didn’t at first; but the smell was more noticeable once I started actually applying it. I can’t wait to get my hands on the rest of the new hair & body collection - I’ll have a review up soon of the Marula Detangler Spray once I’ve used it a bit more to really get a solid opinion! ? . . Show me your #silisaturday photos & I will be sharing them on my stories! ?? . . #drunkelephant #drunkelephantskincare #drunkelephantforlife #drunkelephantsili #silibodylotion #skin #cleanbeauty #cleanskincare #acleanbreak #skincare #skincareroutine #skincareproducts #skincaretips #skincarejunkie #skincarecommunity #skincareroutines #skincareblogger #skincaretipsandtricks #skincareaddict #skincarelover #skincareobsessed #skincareregime #skincarereview

A body lotion is the easiest way to ensure that every bit of skin gets hydration, not just your hands and feet. This one contains nourishing plant oils and butters, together with amino acids, ceramides and antioxidants that lock in moisture, soothe dryness and itch, and protect skin from free radical damage.
