Tips for Healthy and Beautiful Nails

Of course, our hands and nails, which we use all day long, go through a lot with water, soap, and lately, all that hand sanitizer and disinfectant and they sure deserve some regular care. Now, even if you’re gettin’ a manicure regularly, let me tell ya, that ain’t enough to keep your nails and hands in top shape. A manicure helps ’em look good, but at home, you have gotta moisturize those nails often, use oils and creams to strengthen ’em, and pay attention to a few delicate details too.

Trim your nails regularly: Just like trimming the ends of your hair gives it new life, the same goes for your nails. When you’re cuttin’ ’em, make sure they’re all straight and even in length.

Don’t ever scrape off your nail polish: Yeah, I know, it can be mighty temptin’ and fun to peel off that polish, but let me tell ya, it’s one of the worst things you can do to your nails. Scrapin’ your polish can make the surface of your nails all rough. You might also wanna check out our tips on How to Keep Your Polish from Cracking and Peelin’.

Always keep your nails dry and clean: Most problems start with germs and bacteria. When you’re washin’ your hands, don’t forget to clean under those nails real good and keep ’em dry. That way, you can help stop germs and bacteria from settlin’ in.

Don’t bite your nails: I bet you’re probably already bothered by this bad habit, but we know it ain’t that easy to quit. If you’re a nail-biter, try usin’ those bitter-tastin’ polishes. Bitin’ your nails not only makes your hands look a mess, but it can mess with your health too.

Take good care of your cuticles: Cuticles are mighty delicate, and takin’ care of ’em is one of the most important parts of good nail care. Don’t cut or tear at ’em. Instead, use oils and creams regular-like to keep ’em in good shape.

Avoid harsh nail polishes: Polishes that are tough to remove and packed with chemicals can mess up your nails, so be mindful of what you’re pickin’. Let your nails breathe every now and then by goin’ polish-free for a bit.

Be picky with your acetone: Steer clear of acetone that dries out your nails and makes ’em prone to breakin’. You can go for non-acetone polish removers instead.

Stay away from rough nail files: We all know a nail file is essential for nail care, but choose wisely. Get yourself a soft ‘buff’ file with four different sides. These types not only shape but can also help shine the surface of your nails.
