You've likely seen the term "slugging" take over the skincare world. This viral beauty hack, which involves sealing in a layer of moisture to achieve a dewy glow, isn't just for your face. When adapted for your hands and nails, it becomes a powerful overnight nail treatment—a simple and effective way to revive tired, damaged nails and cuticles. If you've been searching for a remedy for dry brittle nails, this might be the game-changer you've been looking for.
A Simple Nail Slugging Tutorial for Your Hands
The beauty of nail slugging is its simplicity. It's a two-step ritual you can easily add to your nightly routine. This method works by creating a moisture-locking barrier that allows beneficial ingredients to work their magic uninterrupted as you sleep, aligning perfectly with Apuree's philosophy of Natural Nail Care.
- Nourish with a Pure Cuticle Oil. Apply a generous amount of a high-quality, pure organic cuticle oil to each nail and cuticle. The nail oil serves as the nourishing base layer, delivering essential vitamins and nutrients directly to the nail matrix. Take a moment to gently massage the oil in, encouraging absorption and providing a moment of calm. Try our Apuree® Cuticle Oil for best results.
- Lock in the Goodness. Follow the oil immediately with a thick, occlusive hand cream. This layer acts as a sealant, preventing the oil's moisture and nutrients from evaporating. When you wake up, you'll find your nails and cuticles feeling exceptionally soft, hydrated, and ready to take on the day.

While many viral beauty hacks promise quick results, the secret to long-lasting health lies in the ingredients you use. When you're creating an occlusive barrier, you want to make sure you're sealing in beneficial nutrients, not synthetic fillers. Choosing a pure, high-quality organic oil is non-negotiable. At Apuree®, we believe that true beauty comes from nature, which is why we are committed to being the most healthy nail brand, providing clean nail care products that are as effective as they are pure. This is what makes our method a true healthy nail care alternative. Our nourishing cuticle oils deliver potent, natural hydration to truly transform your nails from the inside out.
