Why Do Your Nails Need Extra Care During Summer?

Malta’s heat, strong sunshine, sea water and swimming pools can leave the nails, hands and cuticles feeling dry.

Regular hydration and a few simple precautions can help protect your manicure and maintain the appearance of your natural nails while you enjoy your holiday.

Daily hand and cuticle hydration for healthy summer nails

1. Hydrate Your Hands and Cuticles Every Day

Sun exposure, air conditioning, chlorine and salt water can make your hands and cuticles feel dry.

Apply hand cream or cuticle oil every day, especially after washing your hands or spending time at the beach or pool.

  • Apply hand cream daily
  • Massage cuticle oil around each nail
  • Reapply after swimming or washing your hands

2. Don’t Use Your Nails as Tools

Opening cans, lifting labels or scratching hard surfaces with your nails can cause chips, cracks and breakage. Use the appropriate tool instead of putting pressure on your manicure.

3. Take Care Around Pools and the Sea

Rinse your hands with fresh water after swimming. Dry your nails properly and avoid leaving them wet for long periods, especially if they are already weak or damaged.

JUICIOSAS BEAUTY TIP

Give your nails a little care after every beach or pool day.

Rinse, dry and moisturise your hands and cuticles to help keep your manicure looking fresh for longer.

4. Protect Your Hands From the Sun

Your hands are regularly exposed to the sun but are often forgotten when applying sun protection.

Apply sunscreen to the backs of your hands and reapply it after swimming or washing. Continue using hand cream and cuticle oil to maintain hydration.

5. Always Carry a Mini Nail Kit

A small nail-care kit can help you manage minor chips or dryness while you are away from home.
