Dry, brittle nails can be quite embarrassing, you want to wear stunning nail colours but your nails are too weak. If this situation sounds familiar we know what you’re going through. All your nails need is some tender love and care to grow stronger and eventually make your hands look beautiful. Guess what, you don’t have to look for solutions outside of your house! If only you knew about this earlier, right? Read on to find out how to strengthen your nails...
Coconut oil
Why?
Coconut oil is one of the most simple and easily found ingredients in every household. Known for its deep nourishing properties, this oil not only prevents dryness of the nails and cuticles but it also helps strengthen them.
How?
Warm some coconut oil in a vessel and massage your nails using it for 5 minutes. Repeat twice a day for best results.
Argan oil
Why?
Rightly called as liquid gold, argan oil is as beneficial for your nails as it is for your skin. Its softening properties instantly nourish dry nails and cuticles and strengthen nails in the long run.
How?
Simply take a few drops of the Lakme Absolute Argan Oil Radiance Overnight Oil-in-Serum and massage your nails with it.
Sea salt soak
Why?
A relaxing and soothing soak will soften dry and brittle nail beds and cuticles as well as make them shine. The healing and rejuvenating property of sea salt is the reason why it is extensively used in baths and foot soaks as well.
How?
Take some warm water in a container and add 2 spoons of sea salt, pour a few drops of lemon essential oil and dip your nails in it.
Egg yolk and milk soak
Why?
Brittle and weak nails can also be a result of lack of proteins and calcium. Egg yolk and milk are both rich in protein and calcium and help fortify the nails.
How?
Mix one egg yolk with 2 tablespoons of milk, mix well and massage on your nails thoroughly. Clean off after 20 minutes with water.
