A Few Winter Hand & Nail Tips to Know!
1. Only wash your hands with a moisturizing soap.
This means no antibacterial soaps, glycerin (clear) soaps, and no Ivory soap.
This is an interesting one. We have learned in the past, that not all soaps are created equal. But this tip, is extremely pointed and a new one for us!
Which soaps do YOU use, JUST for the winter?
2. Always moisturize your hands after washing.

Keep a lotion near each sink and make sure to moisturize your cuticles, the skin attached to your nails. This will help to prevent cuticles from getting split and painful.
I have to admit, I often skip this one, especially when I am home. But, I do keep at least to hand creams in my purse! So, perhaps I can do better with this one.
What about you? Do you follow this specific tip?
3. Taking supplements with vitamin E and Biotin or Collagen

This will also help strengthen your nails and keep your skin from drying out. I like Vitafusion Gorgeous Hair Skin and Nails because not only does it have Vitamin E and biotin, but it is a complete multivitamin as well.
There have been quite a few new gummies, multivitamins, and supplements around that you and I know.
But I definitely think I could do better about taking my vitamins, what about you?
4. Make sure to keep a pair of gloves in each winter coat and jacket.

The winter weather can fluctuate wildly in a day. Wind as well as cold weather needs to be avoided to keep hands and nails supple.
This is real. If you live on the east coast or in harsher weathers, this should be a no brainer, but we are not perfect… we forget.
A solid plus size winter coat, I have but I actually have to find my gloves from last year. Or maybe just buy a new pair?
5. You may need a thicker moisturizing product than you normally use.

If you have been using a lotion, try a cream. Most brands have a range of products. Neutrogena, Aveeno, Eucerin, Nivea, etc.
There are specific lotions and creams that I swear by, and being a woman of color, I try my best to ALWAYS stay moisturized.
