My Other Top Nail Restoring Picks: Neova Cuticle Therapy

This is state-of-the-art cuticle care. Neova, in a refreshing ice blue cream, contains active copper which has been known since the 70s to promote scarless healing. Active copper has only recently found its way into skin creams and is receiving rave reviews.



Users report softer, smoother, firmer and denser skin on face and neck. As well, they report that copper-based skin creams remove even old scars and stretchmarks. Read more about active copper here.



Neova contains aloe as the second ingredient (meaning in sufficient strength to be effective) for soothing inflamed tissue. It has both essential components of an effective skin moisturizer: botanical oils as emollients; and glycerin as a Natural Moisturizing Factor. And finally there is vitamin E as an antioxidant.

Apply several times daily as required.

My Other Top Nail Restoring Picks: Avon Nail Experts Strong Results

Like Trind, Avon Nail Experts Strong Results Length and Strength Complex is a liquid that soaks in to form an invisible shield for your nails. Unlike Trind, the Avon nail care product has a discernible odor which disappears as it soaks in. However it leaves a bad taste which could actually be beneficial if you are a nail biter.



Nail Experts Strong Results contains antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, diamond dust, calcium, protein, and antioxidant vitamins. Hyaluronic acid is the most powerful NMF around. I’m not sure the diamond dust helps but it sure sounds good!



Apply twice a day for ten days; then once a day.



Currently Avon is not strongly supporting this excellent product.

My Personal Nail Recovery Story

After several years of wearing acrylic nails, I decided to go natural again. Imagine my disappointment when I realized how weak and damaged my own nails had become. They were so thin, that the least little impact was painful. And there was no way they would grow past the quick.



I’m happy to report that, after three years of trying virtually every nail hardener, nail growth promoter and anti-aging nail care product on the market, ...

Anti-Aging Cuticle Care

I mentioned last time that the nail bed is where the real anti-aging nail care work can be done. This means understanding and taking proper care of your cuticles, the skin that covers the nail bed.



Here's more information about cuticle care.

Anti-Aging Nail Care

Your nails are made up of keratin, the same protein that comprises your hair. Neither your hair nor your nails are living tissue, so it may seem odd to talk about anti-aging nail care. Yet there are nail products that make anti-aging claims.



Even though the nails are not living tissue, they are subject to oxidation and free radical damage much like a piece of metal.

Anti-aging Nail Care

An effective anti-aging nail care program should include a strengthening-moisturizing-protective treatment for the nails, as well as a moisturizing and protective repair cream for the cuticles. Well-groomed cuticles are essential to healthy nails. Overgrown cuticles can actually suffocate nail growth.



The cuticles form a protective barrier around the nail bed and prevent bacteria from entering the body. Clip hangnails, yes; but never cuticles. Not only can this open the door to infection, but it can also damage the nail bed.



If your cuticle cream or hand cream has exfoliating ingredients like alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids (AHAs and BHAs) to help remove dead skin cells, so much the better. Researchers at Columbia University recently observed that women who used creams with AHAs or BHAs on their hands also found that their nails became stronger and suppler.



Cuticles should be softened and then gently pushed back with an orange stick.



For an intensive treatment for dry nails, dermatologist Bruce Katz, who has been named repeatedly by New York Magazine as one of the best doctors in New York, recommends soaking fingertips in a bowl of warm water for ten minutes and patting dry. While nails are still moist, rub on a thick moisturizer or Vaseline. To maximize the benefit, pull on light cotton gloves for a few hours or overnight.
