Whether you're hitting the beach, enjoying a picnic, or simply lounging by the pool, well-maintained and stylish nails can add that extra touch of glamour to your look.

However, the intense summer heat, humidity, and sun exposure can dry out nails, making them weak, brittle, and prone to damage.

This could impact your nail health and make them break or chip faster. In this heat, they are likely to suffer from a lack of moisture and are more prone to dryness.

Maintaining the integrity and beauty of your gel polish manicure during the summer requires more than just a professional application; it needs a regimen that protects and preserves.

1 HYDRATE

Prolonged soaking in water /exposure to the sun can cause nails to expand and become more vulnerable to premature chipping and peeling.

Staying hydrated is key to keeping your nails healthy and strong.

Your body typically gets about 20% of the water it needs from the foods, fruit and vegetables you eat throughout the day. Foods that typically provide the highest water content are raw fruits and vegetables.

Drink plenty of water and include water-rich hydrating fruits and vegetables in your diet, such as cucumbers, watermelon, Lettuce, Peaches, and strawberries.
