What oil do I need for my nails?
At Lola, we've always wanted to take care of your nails, which is why we developed the Natural Nail Care line of oils, four treatments with 99% natural ingredients to keep your nails and cuticles healthy, nourished, and, of course, divine. But before explaining their benefits, we want to explain why it's so important to take care of both your nails and cuticles. A little theory...
Why is it important to take care of the cuticle?
You probably only think about your cuticles when you do your nails. And, of course, you think they're a nuisance, especially when they grow out of control. However, cuticles don't just sit on your nails unnecessarily. They serve a purpose, and it's an important one. They're responsible for protecting the most delicate area of the nail, the nail matrix, which is why they're firmly attached to the nail bed. The idea of cutting them off flush is quite tempting, but leaving that space open for anything to get into is a bad decision.
The nail matrix acts as the brain of the nail, controlling its health and growth. It's where new cells develop and where old cells are pushed forward to form the visible part of the nail. Therefore, the quality of the cells produced in the nail matrix determines the health of the nail plate, what we call the nail.
What to do when doing a manicure? Simple. The idea is to trim, when necessary, only the Excess skin and keep the cuticles always moisturized so that it's easy to push them back and make them disappear. And this is where oils play an essential role. For cuticles , which prevent their skin from appearing dry, flaky, and uneven. Simply massage them into the nail bed to avoid the temptation to use nippers, especially if you have sensitive skin. For strong nails and soft, nourished skin, not only for cuticles, but also to keep the surrounding skin elastic.
Since beautiful, well-cared-for cuticles are synonymous with health, we couldn't do anything other than focus on this controversial area, which causes so many headaches for some. The four oils we've developed are based on essential oils and 100% natural ingredients, so you can use them as much as you like because they'll never harm your skin. They can be applied to the cuticle and nail, gently massaging the oil all over the surface and around the nail until the product is fully absorbed.
