As a gardener you are exposed to a lot of soil and other drying and possibly irritating materials. To protect your nails while gardening, we recommend the use of a good hand moisturizer to minimize the drying effects. Thicker moisturizers are ideal when working with moisture or water as they have a bit more water-resistance.
Aside from that you can also include the use of gardening gloves that will provide complete protection. The lotion on the inside will help prevent chafing from the fabric.
Cuticle care
The cuticles will be dryer due to that exposure. So, using things such as cuticle oil or a cuticle serum is very helpful. Plus, doing a thorough cleaning using a nail brush after gardening underneath the nails is important.
Manicures are the ideal way of treating and maintaining your hands. A detailed manicure will include care of the cuticles and cleaning of the nails which can also resolve staining issues.
What is included in a classic manicure?
The classic manicure includes a detailed cleaning and grooming of the nail plate, the cuticle area, the surrounding tissue on the nails, and underneath. It also includes shaping and evening out the nail length. In addition, it includes a relaxing hand massage to help rehydrate and nourish the skin and cuticles. The cherry on top? A warm paraffin dip to help relax the knots and muscles and stimulate circulation in the hands which leaves the hands with a youthful glow.
What is the difference between a gel manicure and a classic manicure?
Gel manicure include all of the classical manicure components with the addition of the light-cured gel polish.
Can you garden with gel nails?
Gel polish is fine when you garden as long as you protect your manicure. The dryness may cause it chip a little sooner than you’d like it to. On the other hand, if you have gel nail extensions, depending on the length of the extension, they may interfere with tactile movements.

Book your manicure in Edmonton with Dérmica. Delivering your service safely is always our first concern. Though rare, some medical conditions exist that may present individual harm from a manicure, or a risk of infecting others. This article discusses the contraindications that your Service Provider will be on the lookout for in preparation for your manicure.
Some conditions are contagious and require treatment before your Service Provider can proceed. Other conditions may require modification of service.
Cuts and Wounds
The fingers may be sensitive and inflamed, and in some cases infected. If possible, we will work around open cuts and proceed with caution when shaping and buffing the nails.
Hematomas
A spot of blood caused by injury to the nail bed. In severe cases drainage may be necessary. For the most part, this condition clears on its own by growing out. In mild cases, your Service Provider will proceed but will not buff the tops.
Warts
Warts are small benign growths that appear singularly or in clusters. They are commonly caused by the HPV virus. Warts are contagious, therefore, they must be treated in a clinic or with over the counter remedies before your manicure.
Untreated dermatitis
Conditions that cause the skin to become inflamed, dry, itchy, and rough may result in a service modification. The most common conditions are eczema and psoriasis. Your Service Provider will avoid affected areas.
Fungal infections
Bacterial or fungal infections of the tissue surrounding the nail are often infectious. Affected areas are inflamed and pus may be present. For that reason, you must have the condition treated prior to having your service.
Broken Bones on the hands
Some manicure steps require motor movements that may affect bone healing. As a result, broken bones must have healed prior to having your service.
