Pro Tips: Winter is Coming!

Cape Cod is stunning in the off season, but let's face it: the cold, dry air wreaks havoc on your nails! At Cape Cod Nail Co., we want your nails looking and feeling their best all season long. Here are our top 3 pro tips on how to keep them healthy during the colder months.

1. Moisturize with Lotion AND Cuticle Oil
Your nails and cuticles NEED extra hydration in winter. Make sure to use both a rich hand lotion and vitamin dense cuticle oil daily to lock in moisture. Our soon-to-launch Vitamin Sea body lotion is packed with nourishing ingredients to keep your hands and nails soft and hydrated. It also contains Vitamin C which helps lighten spots and discoloration after spending the summer in the sun, and refines skin texture reducing wrinkle formation as well as existing wrinkles!

2. Protect Your Nails from the Cold
Whether you're shoveling snow, heading out for a winter beach walk, or simply running errands, cold temperatures can strip moisture from your nails. Always wear gloves when you're outside to shield your hands from the elements.

Bonus tip: Apply lotion and cuticle oil before slipping your gloves on for an extra dose of hydration!

3. Trim and Shape Your Nails Regularly
Long nails may look chic, but they’re more likely to break during the colder months. Keep your nails trimmed and filed to prevent snags and breakage. Opt for a rounded shape, which is less prone to damage, and avoid harsh filing, which can weaken your nails.

Stay tuned for our new lotion launch, and in the meantime, stop by Cape Cod Nail Co. (in person or online @capecodnailco!) for more pro tips and the latest in coastal polish trends. Let’s keep your nails healthy and beautiful all winter long!
