- Start by removing polish from fingernails. For natural nails, use a non-acetone remover.
- File nails, filing in one direction starting at the edges and moving toward the top.
- Soak in soapy water for a few minutes to soften cuticles.
- Dot a moisturizing cuticle cream on the cuticles and rub in gently.
- Push back the cuticles, gently, using an orange wood stick. Do not cut cuticles, as this can cause infection and damage the nail.
- Massage hands with a moisturizing hand lotion.
- Massage Technique: make small, firm circular motions with your thumb, concentrating on the muscles on inside of hand, near the thumb and little finger, and the base of each finger. Turn hand over and use your index finger to make small circles down the gaps between tendons.
- Wipe the excess oils or cream off the nails, using a damp cloth.
- Apply your favorite nail polish.
