Protect them from the sun with a good SPF factor during the day
The sun is to blame for almost 80% of the aging of our skin. Therefore, do not forget to always carry a hand cream with a sun protection factor on it , and apply it at least 3-4 times a day.
Wash them with a mild soap
Your hands are in contact with many things throughout the day, so keeping them clean is also essential . To do this, use a special hand soap (the dishwasher is for dishes!) And then apply a hand lotion to them.
Once a week, hit the ‘scrub’
When exfoliating your face during your weekly facial routine, also apply a little exfoliant to your hands . This will promote cell recovery and help the cream penetrate more deeply.
Hydrate them before going to sleep

Permanent manicure
If you are looking for perfect nails for a longer time , this is the solution. The permanent manicure combines traditional enamel and acrylic and build false nails on your own nails. To dry them, a UV lamp is used that will make the acrylic melt with your natural nail, thus achieving a lasting fixation, of up to three weeks if you take good care of them.
Semi permanent manicure
Its only difference with the permanent manicure is that a product with another type of acrylic is used that only provides durability , but does not merge with the nail . This type of manicure also uses UV light, and is usually cheaper than a permanent manicure, although, as expected, it lasts slightly less.
Artificial nails
The perfect allies for those who bite their nails or have them too short . These types of artificial nails are very resistant and with them you can avoid the weakening caused by the enamels. These nails can last a long time, but remember that, although there is a good fixation, they will grow at the same rate as your natural nail.
Gel nails
They are easy to install and are usually cheaper . However, they are not as natural as other types of nails, as they are somewhat thicker .
