What are the benefits of Nail Slugging?

Dr. Charles MD, co-author of the Nail Slugging Trend, confirmed the use of an oily substance, oil or even hand cream, to increase the hydration that the skin and nails absorb, and the oil helps retain moisture from the hand cream, so it really makes sense to mix the two. Apply moisturizer first, and a drop of oil, then massage them together.

You can also apply oils intended for the body and skin such as almond or coconut oil, and it is preferable to avoid the use of perfumed creams, or creams that contain many exfoliating acids, to prevent any allergies from forming.
