How to Choose the Best Nail Conditioner

Dry or damaged nails require special treatment to keep them beautiful and healthy and moisturizing them is key. Nail conditioner is a special kind of moisturizer that sinks into your damaged nails and reduces the look of damage while encouraging new nails to grow in even healthier. Choosing the best is a matter of taste, but we do have some advice for you to follow.

Instructions

1. Look for nail conditioner products that do not include formaldehyde. This chemical is potentially dangerous and overly harsh.

2. Ask friends and family for recommendations on what nail conditioner they use. Your doctor might have advice for you as well.

Tips & Warnings

• Use the nail conditioner daily for the best results.

• Using hand lotion in addition to your nail conditioner will keep your hands as healthy as your nails, and improve their look even more. Look for sunscreen lotions-especially natural ones-for the greatest benefits.

• Do not use nail conditioner with acrylic nails. It will not seep through the acrylic. Instead, use it to repair the damage once the acrylic nails come off.
