The "Sleeping Beauty" Edit: How to Repair Your Hands While You Dream
Introduction
You have your silk pillowcase, your retinol, and your lip mask. You are ready for beauty sleep.
But look at your hands. Are they dry? Are your cuticles thirsty?
Nighttime is the only time your hands aren't washing dishes, typing, or scrolling. It is the golden window for repair.
At TsukiNails, we know that Hydrated Nails = Long-Lasting Nails. Brittle, dry nails reject glue, while flexible, hydrated nails hold on tight. Here is the ultimate bedside routine.
1. The "Bedside Table" Essentials
If it’s not within reach, you won't do it. Keep these three things on your nightstand:
-
Cuticle Oil Pen (Jojoba based).
-
Thick Hand Cream (Shea butter or Ceramide based).
-
Cotton or Silk Gloves.
2. Step 1: Oil the Matrix
-
The Action: Brush oil generously over your cuticles and underneath the free edge of your press-on nails.
-
The Science: This keeps the hyponychium (skin under the nail) soft and prevents the natural nail from curling away from the press-on tip.
3. Step 2: The "Glazed" Layer
-
The Action: Apply a thick layer of hand cream. Don't rub it all the way in; leave it slightly wet.
-
The Hack: For extra repair, add a layer of Vaseline (Slugging) over the knuckles. This seals in the moisture.
4. Step 3: The Glove Seal
-
The Action: Put on a pair of breathable cotton or silk gloves.
-
The Benefit: This traps body heat, opening pores and forcing the product to penetrate deeper. Plus, it protects your press-on jewels from snagging on your sheets while you toss and turn!
Conclusion
Wake up with hands that feel like velvet and a manicure that looks brand new. A little nightly effort adds days to your wear time. Sweet dreams!
