Taking care of your nails might not be the first thing on your to-do list, but maintaining healthy nails is an important aspect of overall hygiene and can enhance your professional and personal presence. Here’s a straightforward guide for busy men who want quick and effective ways to look after their nails without fuss.

1. Maintain good nail length and shape

Let’s start with the basics: nail care. Keeping your nails clean, trimmed, and in good shape isn’t just about appearances; it can prevent pain and discomfort from hangnails and ingrown nails, too. Invest in a good quality nail clipper and file. Clip your nails regularly, ideally after a shower when they are softer and easier to trim. For those looking for a dependable tool, the KOH NAIL CLIPPER is a perfect choice. This stainless steel clipper allows you to quickly and easily cut nails to your desired length. Use a nail file to smooth out any rough edges, which will prevent your nails from catching and tearing. Avoid cutting your nails too short, as this can lead to painful ingrown nails.

2. Buff your nails for a polished look

For a polished look without the polish, buff your nails once a week. Buffing helps stimulate blood circulation to the nail bed, which promotes healthier nail growth and gives your nails a consistent, natural shine. KOH has developed the exclusive NAIL GROOMING BUFFER – a sustainable tool specifically tailored and designed for men’s nails. In two quick and easy steps, nails are given a unique shine and appear well-groomed again. Just remember not to over-buff; too much can weaken your nails.

3. Don’t overlook nail hygiene

And let’s not skip the most important – hygiene. Nothing is less attractive than neglected and dirty nails. And more worringly, are the perfect carriers of bacteria and viruses. The KOH NAIL CLEANING STICK allows you to effortlessly clear away dirt trapped under the nails, thanks to its sharp tip and user-friendly design.

4. Opt for products for optimal nail and cuticle health

Moving on to cuticles, those small bands of skin at the bottom of each nail. They play a crucial role in protecting your nails from bacteria and infection. To keep them in good shape, never cut your cuticles. Instead, apply a cuticle oil or cream regularly to keep them moisturized, especially after washing your hands or using hand sanitizer, which can dry out your skin and cuticles. If your cuticles do need some tidying up, gently push them back with a cuticle pusher. This can help your nails look longer and neater without causing damage.

For an all-in-one solution, consider the KOH RECONDITIONING NAIL PEN. This pen offers powerful ingredients from the Oriental Hinoki tree, along with sesame oil, shea butter, almond oil, and avocado oil to prevent dehydration and soothe cuticles. Adding keratin makes the nails extra strong and flexible.

By integrating these simple steps into your daily routine, you can maintain healthy, well-groomed nails and hands with minimal effort. Remember, taking a few minutes each day to care for your hands can pay off with noticeable results and better overall hand health.
