Nail Exfoliation: The Missing Piece to Your Perfect Nail Care RoutineYour nails deserve more |
But, Why Exfoliate Your Nails? Much like your skin, your nails build up layers of dead cells that have been exposed to common factors such as water and nail polish remover. Even popular acrylic and gel manicures add to the buildup, making nails dry and brittle.
As these dead cells accumulate, they cause peeling and cracking, as well as the possibility of discoloration (those unsightly yellow hues). Have you ever seen white patches after a manicure? That is keratin granulations, which occur when polish overstays its welcome and rips away nail cells, a typical problem, particularly on toes.
Exfoliating nails once a week is the key, which smoothes out damaged cells and eliminates roughness, brittleness, splitting, and discolouration.
