Going one step further, if you’re a professional—in any job from a bartender to a financial planner—your hands are front and center in your work and with your clients. Clean, manicured hands are a detail that doesn’t go unnoticed.
Why is men’s nail care important?
“It’s important for both men and women, but I believe it’s equally important for men to take care of their nails because many men are rougher with their hands, which can result in dry hands and calluses,” DeLuca Rivera explains. “Plus, don’t overlook that your partner will appreciate the upkeep.”
What’s involved in a man’s manicure?
A basic manicure includes soaking the hands, scrubbing the nails with a brush, cleaning under the nails, clipping the nails, pushing back the cuticles, buffing the nails and, finally, massaging the hands with a hydrating hand cream to moisturize and to boost circulation.
How about best practices for keeping your nails healthy at home?
“When you get a professional manicure/pedicure, it’s not just about clipping nails, it’s about the experience and treating yourself to self-care service that every man deserves,” DeLuca Rivera says. That said, there are tips for keeping your hands looking great in between appointments.
- CLIP YOUR NAILS with a dedicated nail clipper (not scissors!) and file with an emery board
- PUSH BACK YOUR CUTICLES using a cuticle pusher or an orange stick. Be gentle!
- USE CUTICLE OIL to moisturize your cuticles and keep hangnails at bay—a little goes a long way.
- USE A SCRUB TO REMOVE DEAD SKIN. Follow up with a moisturizer to keep hands soft.
