Unconventional Hand and Nail Care Tips for Winter: Insider Secrets from Jin Soon
Keeping your hands and nails feeling their best isn't just a luxury, it's an essential part of maintaining healthy skin and strong nails. As a professional in the field, I've learned a ton of tricks over the years, and some of the best are surprisingly simple! Get ready to ditch the dry cuticles and cracked knuckles for good – I'm sharing some easy-to-follow insider tips that'll transform your hand and nail care routine and leave you with results you can see and feel.
Rejuvenate Your Hands and Nails While Washing Dishes
Washing dishes often gets a bad rap for being rough on your hands and nails. But what if I told you there's a way to turn chore time into a mini spa treatment? It's all about smart prep and a little pampering:
Here's my recipe for hydrating your hands and nails without investing any additional time or effort:
-
Hydrate & Protect: Slather your hands in a generous dollop of JINsoon Argan + Rose Hand Cream. This luxurious formula, infused with argan oil, shea butter, and vitamin E, deeply hydrates and protects your skin.
-
Double Gloving: Ditch the bare-handed approach! Don a pair of thin cotton gloves under your regular dishwashing gloves. This double layer acts as a hydrating buffer, similar to a paraffin treatment. Thin plastic cooking gloves are another great option.
-
Wash Wisely: Opt for lukewarm water to keep the moisture locked in within your double gloves, maximizing the hydrating effect.
-
Post-Dish Pampering: After removing your double gloves, rinse your hands with lukewarm water and pat them dry with a soft towel. Finish with another layer of JINsoon Argan + Rose Hand Cream to further lock in moisture and soothe your skin. This rich cream will leave your hands feeling delicately fragranced and beautifully nourished.
Protecting Nails and Cuticles During Polish Removal
Nail polish remover, while necessary for refreshing our manis, can often leave our nails and cuticles feeling dry and fragile. Here's a simple yet effective tip from Jin Soon to keep your nails healthy and happy during polish removal. Remember these simple steps for your nail polish removal routine to keep your fingertips healthier.
- Pre Protection: Before reaching for the acetone, apply JINsoon Honeysuckle + Primrose Cuticle Oil on the nail and cuticles. This nourishing blend, infused with sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin E, deeply hydrates and protects your cuticles and nail beds.
- Removal: Once your nails are prepped with the cuticle oil, choose a gentle nail polish remover. Opt for acetone-free formulas whenever possible, and look for ingredients like vitamin E and aloe vera that offer added care. Saturate a cotton pad in the remover and gently press it against the polish for a few seconds to loosen it. Wipe away the color in smooth strokes, avoiding harsh rubbing.
- Post-Removal Replenishment: After thoroughly removing the polish, rinse your hands with lukewarm water and pat them dry. Finish with another layer of the JINsoon Honeysuckle + Primrose Cuticle Oil, massaging it in once more to replenish lost moisture and soothe your skin.
A DIY Budget-Friendly Hand Exfoliation Treat
Exfoliating your hands is a delightful way to remove dead skin, boost circulation, and reveal their natural soft, smooth glow. And the best part? You can create a luxurious spa experience right at home with this budget-friendly DIY method!
Here's what you'll need:
- A Korean scrubbing cloth (or any gentle exfoliating mitt)

- Nourishing hand cream like JINsoon Argan + Rose Hand Cream
Let's get pampering!
-
Soak & Soothe: Fill a basin with warm water and add a few drops of your chosen essential oil for a touch of aromatherapy. Immerse your hands for 5 to 10 minutes to soften the skin.
-
Scrub & Shine: Gently scrub your hands with the Korean scrubbing cloth. Remember, be gentle! Exfoliating is beneficial, but overdoing it can irritate your skin. Once or twice a week is ideal.

Give Your Nails a Break: The Buff & Shine Winter Ritual
Winter is the perfect time to give your nails a well-deserved break from gels and polishes. Buffing gently removes stains and smoothes ridges, letting your natural beauty shine through. This clean, healthy, and polished look is perfect for any season!
Buff the Right Way: Remember, gentle buffing is key. Harsh old-school buffers can damage your nails. Opt for gentle options like the JINsoon Effortless Buffer & Shiner. Its two-step system uses fine abrasives instead of harsh grains, buffing and shining your nails without causing harm.
Shine On: Healthy, buffed nails provide the perfect canvas for your next polish adventure. In fact, when your nails are smooth from having been buffed, polish application is a breeze and your manicure lasts longer!
Three Easy Paths to Polished Perfection:
- Buff & Shine: For a quick and simple routine, simply use the JINsoon Effortless Buffer & Shiner to buff and shine your nails.
- Nourish & Buff: For an extra dose of TLC, pamper your cuticles with a drop of JINsoon Honeysuckle + Primrose Cuticle Oil after buffing and shining your nails.
- HyperRepair Your Way to Strength: Apply JINsoon HyperRepair Nail Treatment after buffing and shining. This potent formula helps strengthen and protect your nails. Once it's dry, finish with a nourishing drop of JINsoon Honeysuckle + Primrose Cuticle Oil.
