Nail masks: top 5 simple and effective remedies
Recipes that work
Nail masks can help solve various problems, so you shouldn’t ignore them. We will tell you in this material which masks for home care your clients should pay attention to.
Salt mask for nail growth
A salt bath is considered the easiest and simplest procedure available to everyone at home. Dissolve one tablespoon of sea salt in a glass of warm water. Add lemon juice if desired. Immerse your fingers in water for 15-20 minutes for the fast nail growth mask to give results.
Mask for strengthening nails with iodine
To forget about peeling the nail plate and strengthen it properly, draw the attention of your clients to a nail mask with iodine. Her recipe is similar to the previous one, but the key component in this case is iodine. Dissolve one tablespoon of sea salt in a glass of water and add two drops of iodine. This cocktail should be rubbed into the nail plate a couple of times a day.
Nail mask with red pepper
To prepare such a mask, you will have to put in a little more effort. Take half a teaspoon of boiled water and the same amount of ground red pepper. Then add one teaspoon of hand cream. Mix all the ingredients and heat in a water bath, then let the mask cool. Then apply the resulting mixture to your nails for 10 minutes, then rinse off. It is advisable to repeat the procedure once a week.
Gelatin mask for weakened nails
Gelatin baths will help strengthen your nails, for example, after unsuccessful removal of gel polish. Dissolve half a tablespoon of gelatin in a glass of boiling water, cool the solution and dip your fingertips in it for 10-15 minutes. Repeat the procedure several times a week – and the result will not be long in coming.
Nail mask with honey
For fragile nails, a mask with honey and beeswax is ideal. To prepare it, mix two tablespoons of honey and olive oil, then add a pre-beaten egg. The next step is to pour the resulting mixture with one tablespoon of warm water and heat it in a water bath. After the mask has cooled, place your hands in the bath for 15-20 minutes. After this time, do not rush to wash your hands - let the remnants of the mask be absorbed into the skin.
A nail master can offer these nail masks to clients as an additional service before a manicure or recommend them to girls for effective home care.
