Minnesota winters are tough on our skin, and our nails are no exception. The combination of cold outdoor air and dry indoor heating creates a perfect storm for brittle, peeling, and broken nails. At Lexa Nails, we see the effects of winter weather on our clients' nails every year, and we have developed proven strategies to combat the damage.
First, hydration is key — apply cuticle oil at least twice daily and use a rich hand cream after every hand wash. Wearing gloves whenever you go outside is essential, not just for warmth but for protecting your nails from the drying cold. Consider getting a Collagen Manicure during winter months, as the collagen treatment provides deep nourishment and strengthening.
Our Organic Manicure is another excellent winter choice, using natural ingredients that restore moisture without harsh chemicals. Avoid using your nails as tools, especially when they are more vulnerable in cold weather. Regular salon visits every two to three weeks help maintain nail health and allow our technicians to catch any issues early.
With proper care and regular treatments at Lexa Nails, your nails can stay beautiful all winter long.
