Summer may be on its last legs, but that doesn’t mean that it’s over – not by a long shot! There’s still plenty of time to hit the beach, put a fine point on that summer tan, and soak in the last ounce of enjoyment summer has to offer. If you’re heading to the beach in the coming weeks, however, it’s important to know how to avoid any unnecessary wear and tear on your perfect pedicure. These pedicure tips can be a vital part of maintaining your toenails during those exciting trips to the beach.
Protect Your Feet
First, if you’re going to be barefoot, make sure that you’re only barefoot when you’re on the sand or in the water. Wear a nice pair of sandals or flip-flops between the beach and your car, or when you’re wandering to a picnic area or anywhere off the beach. That footwear will help you to avoid stubbing your toes, stepping on foreign objects, or otherwise putting your precious feet and pedicure at risk.
Topcoat: Wear It!
Any time you’re heading out to the beach – or anywhere outside, for that matter – be sure to put some extra topcoat on your toes. That perfect pedicure is always at risk of being damaged by sand, since those tiny little grains of beach goodness can feel as abrasive as sandpaper. Your extra bit of topcoat could be the difference between protected nails and all manner of scratches and chips.
Keep Your Toes and Nails Moist
When you’re out in the sun, those solar rays and the heat of the day can really do a number on your nail polish. Without protection, your nail polish can dry out, fade, or even warp. One of the best ways to avoid that is to treat your toes the same way you treat the rest of your skin. Slop on some SPF sunscreen to guard against the sun’s rays. Use a sunscreen with solid moisturizing protection to ensure that your toes, cuticles, and nails get the added moisture they need to continue to look their very best.
Beach Aftercare
Finally, don’t forget to take care of your feet, toes, and nails when you get home from the beach. All that sun and sand can continue to pose a risk to your beautiful pedicure until you’ve had a chance to properly rinse yourself off and use moisturizers, creams, and balms to rejuvenate the nails. With the right beach protection and proper aftercare, you can avoid most nail problems and keep that pedicure undamaged throughout any beach adventure.
