Monsoon Nail Care Routine for Healthy Cuticles & Shine

Monsoon season is all about chai, rain songs, and green vibes — but let’s be honest, it’s not cute when your nails start chipping, turning yellow, or your cuticles feel dry and painful. 💧

Humidity and moisture in the air during the rainy season can lead to fungal infections, brittle nails, and dull-looking hands. But don’t worry — Hera Grace has your hands (and nails) covered!

Here’s the ultimate Monsoon Nail Care Routine to keep your nails shiny, clean, and cuticle-friendly.

🌧️ 1. Keep Them Clean & Dry Always

To begin with, moisture is your nails’ biggest enemy in monsoon. As a result, dirty or wet hands can lead to fungal infections under the nail beds.

Quick Tip:
Always dry your hands and nails properly after washing. Use a soft towel and avoid public hand dryers that blow bacteria.

💅 2. Trim & Shape Regularly

Long nails tend to trap dirt and moisture easily during this season. Keep them trimmed and filed to avoid breakage and infections.

Pro Tip:
Go for a soft square or round shape. These are less prone to cracking.

💧 3. Hydrate Your Cuticles Daily

In humid weather, cuticles get rough and peel easily. Therefore, keeping them moisturized is the secret to healthy, salon-like hands.

Use:
Cuticle oils, almond oil, or even pure ghee (before bedtime) for natural softness.

🧼 4. Use a Gentle Antibacterial Handwash

Harsh soaps can damage your nails. Go for a mild, hydrating antibacterial handwash to keep hands clean without stripping oils.

Bonus Tip:
In addition, follow up with a nourishing hand cream after every wash to lock in moisture.

🧴 5. Apply a Nail Hardener or Clear Top Coat

Protect your nails from breakage and dullness by using a nail strengthener or a shiny top coat every 3-4 days.

Hera Grace Pick:
Choose one with biotin or keratin for extra strength and shine.

🚫 6. Avoid Too Many Gel or Acrylic Sessions

Monsoon is not the best time for constant nail extensions or gel polish. Your nails need to breathe in this humid weather.

Alternative:
Try breathable nail polishes or stick-on nail art that doesn’t damage the base.

🍊 7. Boost with Biotin-Rich Foods

Nails reflect your internal health. Add foods rich in biotin like almonds, eggs, bananas, and spinach to make nails stronger from the inside.

You can also try:
Biotin supplements (consult a doctor before starting).

🌿 8. DIY Monsoon Nail Soak

Give your nails a weekly detox soak using warm water + lemon juice + a few drops of tea tree oil.

Benefits:
This helps clean, disinfect, and brighten your nail naturally.

💬 Hera Grace Tip:

Rainy season is the perfect excuse for cozy self-care. Keep a mini nail care kit in your bag, avoid public nail salons during heavy rains, and always go for breathable, clean beauty routines.
