Not in the mood to wear a peppy colour? Well, go for a clear nail colour as it will give a natural look and also protect the nails from dirt. Plus, when wearing a clear nail colour, you will be able to see the dirt as it tends to hide when you apply colourful nail paints.
Avoid Long Nails
Long nails might not be a great choice when it comes to maintaining nails, especially when at home. Household chores and other tasks might damage long growth. So it's better to be safe and instead opt for medium or short nails as they are easy to maintain at home during lockdown.
Scrub Your Nails
Make it a habit to scrub your nails with brush daily as it will save you the extra effort later. If you scrub your nails daily, then you don't have to put much effort all at once. Scrubbing will exfoliate the dead skin around the nail area and remove the dirt as well.

Scrubbing your nails is important
Apply A Hand Or Nail Cream
Just like the skin and body needs a moisturising agent, similarly our hands and nails also need a moisturising element to promote natural growth. Nail creams are a great way to give some natural moisturising and hydrating agent to the hands and nails. Do not go overboard with applications.
DIY Remedy
Try a DIY remedy at home to give some extra care to your nails during lockdown. Try applying some coconut oil on nails. Coconut oil works great and promotes nail growth. It has essential minerals and nutrients that helps in maintaining the nails naturally.
