How do I look after my nails?

To look after your nails, keep them clean and moisturised, avoid biting them, and use gentle products to clean them. Regularly apply nourishing and strengthening products, such as Poderm serums, to improve their strength and appearance.

How to care for healthy nails?

For healthy nails, choose Poderm serums, specially formulated to strengthen and revitalise nails. Enriched with repairing ingredients, these serums improve strength, promote growth and prevent common problems, ensuring strong, radiant nails.

What are the most common nail problems?

Before treating, it’s important to understand. Here are the most common imbalances:

  • Brittle nails: often linked to a lack of hydration or excessive use of nail polish remover
  • Ridged nails: a sign of fatigue, aging, or nutrient deficiencies
  • Soft nails: weakened by chemical exposure or moisture
  • Split nails: caused by overly aggressive filing or poor nutrition
  • Yellow, damaged nails: often resulting from wearing artificial nails
  • Black nails: caused by trauma or poorly fitting shoes

Good news: in most cases, proper care is enough to sustainably improve the health of your nails.

How to take care of your nails daily?

A simple and regular routine is often enough to make a difference:

  1. Use a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh soaps.
  2. Apply a nourishing hand and nail cream and a repairing serum on the cuticles.
  3. Use a glass or cardboard nail file, filing in one direction to prevent splitting.
  4. Use a serum or treatment polish according to your needs: to smooth, strengthen, or stimulate growth.
  5. Wear gloves when cleaning or gardening. Avoid harsh nail polish removers.

Which products should you choose for effective nail care?

Practical tips for healthy nails
  • Moisturize your nails every night with a PODERM® nail serum, even if they appear healthy.
  • Avoid biting your nails or pushing back your cuticles harshly.
  • Alternate periods with and without nail polish, and choose treatment polishes.
  • Cut your nails straight to prevent ingrown nails.
  • Give your nails a “detox treatment” if you often wear colored nail polish.

How can I strengthen my nails naturally?

Moisturize them daily with a PODERM® nail serum. Limit the use of regular nail polish, opt for nourishing polishes like Color Care or Color Strong, and avoid acetone-based nail polish removers.

Quels soins PODERM pour les ongles fragiles ?

Les sérums pour ongles (huiles-sérums) PODERM® sont idéales : elles pénètrent rapidement, nourrissent la matrice, et stimulent la pousse. À combiner avec un vernis soin protecteur :

  • Vernis Tea Tree Color Care : pour les ongles jaunes et abîmés
  • Vernis Durcisseur Color Strong : pour les ongles mous et cassants

Does a healthy diet help?

Yes! Nails need keratin, iron, zinc, and vitamin B. Also, remember to stay well hydrated.

What to do after getting gel or fake nails?

Let your nails breathe. Apply a PODERM® serum and avoid new applications for a few weeks.
