In the pursuit of beautiful nail art, the health of the nails should not be ignored. Many people are troubled by brittle, easily broken, and peeling nails. The emergence of functional gel has brought a turning point to these problems. What kind of magical effects does it have? Next, let's explore together.
Millions of people around the world are troubled by brittle, easily broken, and peeling nails. Environmental factors in daily life, as well as frequent changes of nail polish, have made this problem even more serious. Advanced nail strengthening formulas can form an elastic protective film. This film is as elastic as the natural nails and can adhere firmly to the nails. It can prevent water loss. You know, water loss is the main cause of nail plate separation. At the same time, it can ensure the necessary oxygen exchange between the nails and the outside world. People who have used it said that after using it continuously for three weeks, the situation of nail breakage decreased by 68%. It's just like putting on a strong and breathable "protective suit" for the brittle nails.
After understanding the protective effect of functional gel on brittle nails, why can it have such a long-lasting effect? Modern polymer technology plays a crucial role. It can make the nail strengthening layer not peel off or wear out for up to 21 days. The cross-linked molecules in the gel will form a three-dimensional network structure, which can withstand various frictions in daily life and at the same time keep the nails naturally flexible. Different from traditional nail polish that only covers the surface of the nails, the formula of these functional gels can penetrate into the keratin layer of the nails and strengthen the nail structure. Clinical studies have shown that after continuous use for six months, the thickness of the nails can increase by 40%. It's like injecting "reinforcing materials" into the nails, making them stronger.
Since the functional gel has such a good effect, how should we apply it correctly? In fact, the preparation of the nail bed is crucial, which determines 90% of the application effect. First, use a wooden stick dipped in cuticle remover to gently push back the cuticles at the base of the nails. Then, gently buff the surface of the nails with a 180-grit nail file, which can create a texture suitable for the adhesion of the gel. But don't over-buff, otherwise it will make the natural nails more brittle. Next, apply a pH-balanced dehydrating agent to remove the oil on the nails and ensure that the gel can adhere better. During the process of applying the gel, be sure to wrap the edges of the nails, which can prevent the tips of the nails from wearing out prematurely. For example, before doing a manicure for yourself, carefully prepare according to these steps, which can lay a good foundation for the subsequent beautiful nails.
After getting a manicure, everyone definitely hopes that the nails can always maintain a bright luster. Applying cuticle oil twice a day can play a very good role. The cuticle oil can form a protective barrier to prevent water penetration and at the same time nourish the nail bed. When doing housework, wear rubber gloves with a cotton lining to avoid the nails coming into contact with chemicals. If the nails have small flaws that need to be repaired, use acetone-free nail polish remover, and reapply the top coat every 4 to 5 days to keep the surface of the nails smooth. Also, never use your nails to pry things. When picking up things, try to use the pulp of your fingers first. For example, if you do the dishes after getting a manicure, wearing gloves can make the manicure last longer.
No matter how beautiful a manicure is, there will come a time when it needs to be replaced. At this time, the method of removing the nail polish is crucial. Incorrect nail polish removal methods can lead to 75% nail damage. The correct way is to soak the cotton balls in pure nail polish remover, and then wrap each fingertip with aluminum foil and soak for 12 to 15 minutes. After the gel softens, use a wooden stick parallel to the surface of the nail and gently scrape off the gel. Never forcefully tear or pick at the warped edges, as this will also tear off the keratin layer of the natural nails. After removing the nail polish, soak the nails in warm olive oil for 10 minutes to restore the moisture balance of the nails, and then apply a strengthening base coat. For example, if you want to change to a new nail art style, removing the nail polish according to this method can protect the nails to the greatest extent.
While using functional gel to care for the nails, we can also use some natural methods to make the nails recover faster. You can make a nail mask once a week with mashed avocado, honey, and egg yolk. The biotin and fatty acids in it can strengthen the nail structure. If the nails turn yellow, directly rub the pulp of a lemon on the yellowed area and then scrub it with baking soda. In terms of diet, eat more foods rich in silicon such as cucumbers and bell peppers to support the production of keratin from the inside of the body. It's like taking care of both the inside and the outside, providing comprehensive care for the nails.
