If lately you notice your nails weaker, split or split or even have cracks and you have not made any significant change in your diet that may be causing these effects, there are a number of products that will come in handy. Many nail lacquers have strengthening ingredients and, from time to time, these things happen to all of us. Here is a selection of our favorites.
Nail lacquers with strengthening effect
- Stronger. Ingredients such as argan oil, keratin, vitamin E, Kukui nut oil or aloe vera contribute to improve the resistance of the nails while protecting them, all-in-one cosmetics in every rule. If when you touch them notes that bend, you need to use a product that contains one of these ingredients before painting them with color or simply as a gloss.
- Goodbye cracks. If your problem is that your nails open through the cracks or you have stretch marks that can lead to them, forget the polishers and get a good polish enriched in calcium or one that fills those stretch marks.
- With colour. If you want to save steps but need a little extra help, you can use the enamel version of CC Creams. And there are strengthening lacquers with color that leave a professional finish while strengthening and giving shine.
- Moisturizing . Other products that come in lacquer format but are not, are nail and cuticle oils. The ones that work best are the apricot and argan ones. Some are also enamels that take care of the cuticles and protect the nails in a single pass.
- Facemasks . Have you ever heard of nail masks? Well, they exist and how could it be otherwise, they come directly from Korea. They are individually placed on the nails and contribute to give more shine, elasticity and hydration while increasing their natural protection against external aggressions.
