1. Adopt a real beauty routine for your hands
First of all, remember to follow a basic hygiene rule by washing your hands as regularly as possible.

Gently massage the palms of your hands, and don’t forget to moisturize the area around the nail.
2. Protect your nails and hands
When you do the dishes, or even the housework: your hands are in contact with chemicals, often harmful to the skin and nails. Thus, invest in a pair of rubber gloves, which will effectively protect your nails between two manicures.
3. Treat your hands to vegetable oil baths
Some vegetable oils, such as castor oil or argan oil, are particularly indicated for nail care. You can coating your hands with oil before wrapping them in plastic gloves. You can also offer an oil bath to your nails. Pour a little castor or argan vegetable oil into a bowl, before plunging your hands in it for a 10 minutes.
