Men may not be familiar with nail oil, but it is easy to start, relatively inexpensive, and effective quickly. Therefore, it is an ideal item for those who want to make a good impression on others. It is also recommended for those who feel that going to a nail salon is too much of a burden in terms of time and cost.

Selecting nail oil based on four points

It is important to select nail oil based on four key factors: container shape, ingredients, feel, and fragrance. Container types include “roll-on type,” “brush type,” “tube type,” and “dropper type. If you use it mainly at home, we recommend the brush type or dropper type. If you want to carry it around with you, we recommend the roll-on type, tube type, or pen type. For ingredients, it is best to choose products that are rich in vitamins and minerals and have high moisturizing power, such as jojoba oil, argan oil, and almond oil. Each item is unique in terms of feel. There are oil types, light types, gel types, etc., in the category of ” nail oil,” and you can choose according to the degree of dryness. If you are concerned about dryness, choose the oil type, and if you don’t like sticky fingertips, choose the light type.

Three minutes of care before going to bed will make a difference the next day! How to use nail oil

To apply nail oil, first apply it to the edge of the nail, and then blend it into the sides and surface of the nail, as well as the back of the nail. That’s it. When using hand cream in combination, use nail oil, then hand cream, in that order. A hand massage is also recommended as a finishing touch.
The most standard timing for use is before bed. Nails are repaired at night, and when you wake up in the morning, they are fully absorbed and not sticky. Even those who do not want others to know that they are taking care of their nails should use it at night before going to bed.
