What care should a client provide for their nails after a manicure?

Keeping nails moisturized is essential after a manicure as it helps maintain their strength and flexibility. Dry nails are more prone to breakage and splitting, so regular moisturizing can prevent these issues. A good moisturizing routine can include the use of nourishing oils or creams that not only hydrate the nails but also improve their overall appearance. This care helps to maintain the manicure and keeps the cuticles healthy, contributing to the longevity of the nail polish and the overall health of the nails.

Conversely, keeping nails dry and brittle can lead to damage, frequent filing can weaken the nails further, and using nail polish remover too often can strip the nails of their natural oils, leading to dryness and potential damage. Thus, proper moisturizing is a critical aspect of post-manicure care.
