Winter is fast approaching and the change in weather can be harsh on your nails so here are a few tips to keeping your nails healthy this winter
· The cold weather can make your nails dry and brittle so ensure that you keep your hands and nails well moisturized
· Take extra care of your cuticles by massaging them with cream or a cuticle oil daily, this helps stimulate nail growth and helps protect and strengthen your nails
· Put on gloves when washing dishes as excessive exposure to water can weaken your nail structure
· Use an Acetone-free nail polish remover as removers with acetone can cause nails to dry out
· Try and avoid filing too deep into the corners of your nails as this can weaken the nail
· Also file in one direction slowly, with a gentle nail file to reduce breakage
· Be gentle with your nails, avoid using them as picking and scraping tools
· Keep nails a little shorter in winter, less chance of breakage
· Keep your nails polished as this seals in moisture
· Use a nail hardener to help keep nails strong
· It is very difficult to avoid hand sanitizers right now so carry some hand cream or cuticle oil in your handbag and apply after being sprayed with a sanitizer
· Eat healthily, a balanced diet keeps your nails healthy and promotes growth
Mavala has a fabulous range of nail care products and nail polishes to keep your hands & nails in tip top shape this winter (and all year round)
All of the Mavala nail polishes, base coats and top coats allow nails to breathe. They contain a resin extracted from wood which adheres to the nail surface in the form of a flexible and resistant film which remains porous, allowing oxygen and water vapour to pass through the nail polish, to the nail plate. All of their nail polishes, base coats and topcoats are worry-free containing none of the 13 usual toxic chemicals found in nail polishes AND all of their nail polishes are cruelty-free and suitable for vegans.

Mavala Scientifique K+ Nail Hardener – 5ml – R319 – The tip of the nail is the most fragile, most unprotected part of the nail and breaks easily. This is, therefore, the part of the nail that needs to be strengthened. By quickly hardening the nail, MAVALA SCIENTIFIQUE allows soft, flaking or splitting nails to become healthy and strong. Its formula hardens the nail plate and restores the nail normal growth. Instantly penetrates. Is neither a base nor a nail polish.
Mavala Nailactan -15ml – R405 – is a cream for damaged, dry, brittle, fragile nails, composed of essential amino acids, lipids and kerato-balancing and fortifying vitamins.

Mavala Nail Polishes in a large range of colours – 5ml -R105 – This nail polish in the small golden cap bottle relies on a simple, yet great, idea.
