fixing bases and health-improving baths, oil is the separate particular
procedure in the essential care of nails. Various oils make nails look lovely
and shining which says of the beauty of the image.
Why nails need oil?
Nail care oils seem to be illogic procedure for some people.
The structure of nails requires protection as strengthening and thickening
enamel. Though, it is not that sure as it seems at first sight. Nails are the
part of body that grow, breathe and nourish from inside and outside. The oil has
the strengthening ability though mainly it nourishes, adds more luster,
elasticity which makes our nails healthy and beautiful.
Moreover, not only the nail plate requires the oil to
nourish. The cuticle, the nail base and the skin surrounding the nail plate
also need some oil for health. When fat is scarce in those zones, they may
crack, get dry and hands look unaesthetic
When and how to use oils
Oil is good for preventive purposes. And people with dry
skin and fragile nails need the special care to nourish nail plates.
Avitaminosis in spring, winter and autumn outs without gloves, abuse of
decorative nail polish and regular nail extension- is all what requires oil to
nourish nails. Oil application is the simple procedure and you are welcome to
purchase the ready essences from the reputed manufacturers or have the blends
by yourself.
How to choose oil
Any oil is appropriate to nourish and strengthen nails which
is available at home. Though, more properties apart from soothing feature
should be considered when looking and getting oil for nails.
Any nail care products contain oil for various purposes.
Some oils are called transport oils in the cosmetology sphere, including the
oil of sunflower seeds, olive, peach, almond and jojoba plants. The other niche
is occupied with the ether oils which are widely used in aromatherapy being
more aromatic and heavier. There is a huge amount of these essences though
nails look best when the ether oil of lemon, oil of tea tree, lavender, bergamot,
rose, eucalyptus, Camomile, sandal and geranium are applied since they have
features advantageous for nail structure. The components mentioned help to
strengthen nails; they have bactericidal effect, struggle against inflammation,
prevent from fungus and even stimulate the growth of nails.
Ready-made nail oils are good and easy to apply as well as
nail polish. Apart from nourishing components they contain vitamins А, С, Е, calcium,
various binding substances which make the nail plate stronger as well as the
enamel. Most manufacturers of nail care products and cosmetic products produce
nail oil and the world-known brands include Sally Hannsen, OPI, ORLY, Avon and
Oriflame. Aasha Gold, the ayurveda brand from India, the Russian brand Severina
that is specialized on nail care products, the special Smart Oil line are also
involved in nail care product manufacture.
Application and caution
Ideally, oil is applied to cleansed nails best before you go
to bed. Oil is applied to the nail plate and round-nail skin, cuticles and is
rubbed until it is totally absorbed, otherwise it is not effective. Oil therapy
is better to do twice a week and this will be enough to have the results
visible. When you regularly apply oil to nails, you’d better think of degreasing
nails before application. Otherwise, the oil is not effective and it does not
nourish, which is the major purpose of it.
Oil can be added to the bath for nails as an alternative if
you are used to it. For this purpose the oil of citrus plants, especially that
of lemon, is used that add the natural healthy luster and protect from yellow
look. This procedure is good to do regularly and the best is to combine it with
aromatherapy.
Oil is good for nails though we should take it controlled
and consider all cautions when there are inflammation processes and fungus
infection are observed available.
Greasy oil brings to grow of bacteria and aggravation of
negative effect and results.
