Keeping nails hydrated
Hydrated nails refer to nails that are adequately moisturized and have sufficient water content. Just like skin, nails can become dry and brittle if they lack hydration. Hydrated nails are flexible and less prone to breakage, splitting, and peeling.
Maintaining hydrated nails involves moisturizing the nails and cuticles regularly, as well as ensuring proper hydration from within by drinking enough water. Additionally, protecting the nails from harsh chemicals and excessive exposure to water can help retain their moisture levels.
Using moisturizing products specifically designed for nails and cuticles, such as oils, creams, and lotions, can help keep the nails hydrated. Ingredients like shea butter, vitamin E, jojoba oil, and almond oil are commonly found in nail moisturizers for their hydrating properties.
