How to Care for Your Nails After a Gel Manicure

3 min read

Gel manicures are a popular and long-lasting option for those who want to keep their nails looking polished and beautiful for weeks on end. However, it's important to take proper care of your nails after a gel manicure to prevent damage and ensure that your nails stay healthy. Here are some tips on how to care for your nails after a gel manicure:

Keep your nails hydrated

Gel manicures can be drying to the nails and cuticles. To prevent this, moisturize your nails and cuticles regularly with a nourishing oil or cream. This will help keep your nails hydrated and prevent them from becoming dry and brittle.

Avoid picking or peeling off the gel polish

Picking or peeling off the gel polish can damage the nail bed and weaken your nails. Instead, use a gentle nail polish remover and soak your nails for a few minutes to help soften the gel polish before gently pushing it off with a wooden stick or file.

Avoid using your nails as tools

Using your nails to open cans, peel off labels, or perform other tasks can weaken and damage your nails. Use proper tools to perform these tasks and protect your nails from damage.

Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals

Exposure to harsh chemicals, such as cleaning products, can weaken and damage your nails. Wear gloves when using these products to protect your nails and skin.

Lucky for you, all of PAUME product’s emphasize natural ingredients such as aloe vera, witch hazel, and hydresia G2.

Allow your nails to breathe

Give your nails a break from gel manicures from time to time to allow them to breathe and recover. This will also help prevent damage and maintain healthy nail growth.

With proper care, your nails can stay healthy and beautiful for weeks to come. And although we made comments and recommendations throughout the article, you should visit our shop and blog for more hand and nail care advice. Elevate your skincare and beauty routine today!
