Before we dive into the expert advice, we had to ask Germaine how the business is holding up and how we can <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/how-to-support-local-businesses-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">help our local businesses stay afloat<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>How you can help homegrown nail salons<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cCovid-19 and the circuit breaker have been really hard on us as a social enterprise that provides training employment to underprivileged women. We have committed to paying all our staff their full salary this period. Since we\u2019ve had to close, we\u2019ve suffered a loss of income. It\u2019s really been challenging for us but we\u2019re staying positive,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are many ways to help businesses stay on their feet. One of them is to purchase gift cards. <a href=\"https:\/\/chopeandsave.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">ChopeAndSave<\/a> is a gift card initiative to help small businesses around Singapore.

This gives you control over how much of the nail you\u2019re cutting. Also, never cut your nails too short as this can be uncomfortable and cause infections if not done correctly,\u201d Germaine shares. Hot tip: Square shape is best for toenails as it prevents ingrown nails.<\/p>\n<h3>Smooth those edges<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cAlways file your nails after cutting to smoothen corners so you don\u2019t hurt yourself with the sharp edges of your nails.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_217480\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-217480\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-217480 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/DIY-at-home-manicure.png\" alt=\"DIY manicure at home\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/DIY-at-home-manicure.png 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/DIY-at-home-manicure.png 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-217480\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steady hands!

This will help to keep your cuticles and nails moisturised and healthy,\u201d she shares.<\/p>\n<h3>Dry heels?

Photography: Rune Enstad via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Germaine says, \u201cFor those with callus and dry heels, it\u2019s always good to use a pumice stone when in the shower or you can soak your feet in a tub of warm water for a few minutes to soften skin. What you\u2019ll wanna do is feel for dryness and calluses. The most common areas are around the big and small toes, on the balls of feet and the heels. Scrub with a pumice stone in one direction until it\u2019s smooth. You\u2019d have to do this every few days to see results.\u201d Hot tip: For severely cracked heels, do not use pumice stone; try the next step instead.<\/p>\n<h3>Scrub-a-dub-dub<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWe recommend exfoliating every two to three weeks. You can use a foot scrub if you have some or make your own with fine sugar or fine sea salt and combine it with skin-friendly oil (coconut oil works), and two drops of essential oil. Mix to form a paste. Don\u2019t forget to scrub around your ankles, Achilles heel and in between the toes,\u201d she shares.<\/p>\n<h3>Don\u2019t forget to moisturise<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_217485\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-217485\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-217485 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/manicure-at-home1.png\" alt=\"Don\u2019t forget to moisturise | DIY manicure\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-217485\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Don\u2019t forget to moisturise.

Photography: Annie Spratt via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Buff the surface before each new application. \u201cWhen painting your nails, always remember to apply a base coat as this protects your nails from staining. Also, apply a top coat every two days to help the polish last longer.
