How To Give Your Nails A Facial

Typically facials are meant to be done on your face, but we’re taking the concept of this spa ritual from our clear complexions down to our nails. Regardless of how many salon visits we make, we never feel fully satisfied with a wash-and-go manicure session so here, we’re reimagining the traditional facial (you know, cleansing, exfoliating and the occasional mask) and applying what we know to our nails. How’s that for a Saturday to-do?
