Uncover the winter nail care secrets that will leave you with smooth, healthy hands. Beauty expert Paloma Buddemeier, founder of Wumman Spa, shares her 'kitchen cupboard' hack for 'crunchy' hands and a 'major red flag' to watch out for. But here's where it gets controversial... Are you tired of your manicure chipping and your skin feeling dry and crunchy during the winter months? Paloma, a beauty guru, has the answers. She recommends a simple yet effective hack: warming up some Extra Virgin Olive Oil and soaking your fingertips in it for five minutes before bed. This is a game-changer for brittle nails. But that's not all. Paloma also reveals a 'secret' ritual that will revolutionize your bathroom routine. Instead of applying cuticle oil after your shower, try doing it before. This simple switch creates a barrier, protecting your nails from the stripping effects of hot water. Now, let's talk about nail health. Paloma's commitment to nail care extends to her Fitzrovia sanctuary, where she prioritizes vegan, cruelty-free, and organic products. Her technicians, masters of technical precision, can spot nail neglect a mile away. The biggest giveaway? Proximal nail fold thickening, which indicates the skin is over-protecting itself from dehydration. Paloma breaks down the warning signs: vertical ridges, peeling layers, and white spots (Leukonychia). She emphasizes the importance of a strict schedule for long-term nail health, recommending professional manicures every two to three weeks and pedicures every four weeks. But what about kids' nail care? Mums have sparked controversy by allowing their kids to get acrylic nails. According to the National Occupational Standards, anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult and have written consent from a parent or guardian. So, are you ready to transform your nail care routine and feel valued and strong? Paloma's Wumman Spa is the place to be. But remember, when it comes to nail care, knowledge is power.
