Winter Nail Care in Markham: How to Stop Dry, Breaking Nails
Every November the same thing happens in Markham: the heat comes on, the air turns dry, and nails start peeling, splitting, and breaking. Here’s how to get through winter with your nails intact.
Oil your cuticles daily. One drop of cuticle oil per nail before bed does more than any expensive cream. Dry cuticles mean hangnails, and hangnails mean broken nails.
Wear gloves — for dishes, for cleaning, and outside. Hot water and detergents strip moisture; cold air makes nails brittle.
Don’t skip your fills. A bio gel refill ($50) every 2–3 weeks keeps the structure sound. Letting them grow out too far is how most breaks happen.
File, don’t clip, snags. Keep a soft file in your bag and smooth a snag the moment it catches — it will save the whole nail.
Book a spa manicure ($30) or add a hand paraffin treatment ($10) once a month. Warm paraffin drives moisture deep into skin and nails — it’s the fastest winter rescue we offer.
If a nail does break, don’t peel it — come in for a $5 single-nail repair and we’ll fix it properly.
