Monsoon nail care guide

Keep nails dry: Moisture is a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. During the monsoon, it’s crucial to keep your nails dry and clean to prevent infections. After washing your hands or feet, make sure to dry your nails thoroughly.
Trimming: Long nails are more prone to be broken or spilt in the monsoon season after getting wet in the rain, it is advised to keep short and trimmed nails during monsoon to prevent dirt and dust from entering.
Moisturise: Just like your skin, your nails need moisture too. Apply a good quality hand cream or nail oil to keep your nails and cuticles hydrated.
Avoid biting nails: Nail biting can cause damage to your nails and cuticles, making them more susceptible to infections.
Light nail paints: During the monsoon, it’s best to use breathable nail polishes that allow air and moisture to pass through, reducing the risk of fungal infections. Avoid using old, thick nail polish as it can trap moisture and create a perfect environment for fungus to grow.
Avoid gels or acrylics in monsoon: Acrylics and gel nails might look great, but they can weaken your natural nails and increase the risk of fungal infections.
Cuticle care: Cuticles act as a barrier against infection. Avoid cutting them too much. Instead, gently push them back with a cuticle stick after softening them with cuticle oil.
