health Tips - How to care for the health of our nails

Maintaining healthy and in good condition nails is a sign of good health and a level of hygiene. The well executed nail care is always able to attract the attention of others and to make a good impression. It does not need to be a professional manicurist to keep your nails healthy and attractive. For this purpose, there are a few hints and tips that should be followed:


1. Always make sure to check whether your nails are clean and dry them immediately after washing.

2. After washing them, moisten the nails and the cuticles located under them to prevent them from drying out and cracking.

3. Do not lend your tools for nail care and avoid using chemicals for removing the nail polish that contain acetone.

4. If you use artificial nails, then you should check your nails regularly for fungal infections. These can occur in cases where the artificial nails do not stick closely to the natural ones, which allows the penetration of moisture between them. The infections can be easily spotted when the nails obtain a specific greenish shade.

5. Periodically clean your nails with lemon. Rub your nails with lemon juice for 10 minutes and then rinse.

6. To make the cuticles of your nails softer and the nails harder put your hands in a cup of milk.

7. Be very careful while removing the cuticles. Avoid cutting them too deeply to avoid infections and bleeding.

8. If you have ingrown nail in the meat, then be sure to go to the doctor and do not try to treat it yourself.

9. Eat healthy food by including in your diet supplements and foods that contain vitamins good for your skin, nails, hair and body. Calcium and biotin are among them.

10. Use rubber gloves when you wash dishes, in the garden and when using cleaning products.

11. Everybody knows that nail biting is one of the bad habits that affect the nails and make an impression to the people around you, so do not do this!

12. If you notice any strange spots on the nails, bumps or discoloration on your nails, make sure to go to a dermatologist and ask for his expert opinion, as the condition of the nails often indicates other diseases that need to be treated.
