3 easy steps to healthy nails (all year round)
19 June 2023 – 2 min read
Some beauty staples never go out of style. Like dewy skin, white sneakers, and healthy, glossy nails. Nail trends may come and go, but strong, well-kept nails? Always in.
If your nails are feeling dry, dull or flakey, don’t worry. With a few small tweaks to your routine, you can get them back in shape and keep them there.
Here’s how.
1. Show your cuticles some love
Cuticles are the unsung heroes of nail health. They seal in new nail growth and keep out bacteria, yet we’re constantly trying to get rid of them.
Here’s the fix:
- Keep them clean and hydrated
- Skip the cutting and harsh tools
- Add a nourishing oil to your daily routine
What to Use:
- Rest & Repair Nail Serum – to restore damaged cuticles
- Self Love Oil – to moisturise and protect
A daily swipe of oil is the easiest way to boost nail health and instantly make your mani look fresher.

2. Maintain your length
Yes, sunlight helps nails grow faster. But longer nails = more chances to chip, split or break.
Keep them in check with regular shaping:
- Trim when needed (don’t let splits travel)
- Smooth edges with a glass file or emery board
- Keep a mini nail kit in your bag or travel kit
3. Protect, always
When summer hits, this of course means more time spent outside. Although this is almost always a good thing, you’ve got to remember to protect yourself. While UV rays are great at promoting nail growth, they can also make nails turn brittle and yellow. Pair this with the drying effect of salt water and chlorine and you’ve got the perfect recipe for nails flakier than the croissants at your favourite bakery.
How to protect them:
- Use a cuticle oil (especially before swimming) to seal in hydration
- Avoid harsh removers that strip your natural oils
- Swap to non-acetone formulas that are gentler on nails
One Last Thing…
Your nails are always on show, so treat them like you do your face.
- Hydrate daily
- Protect against damage
- Maintain regularly
