Nail Care
Nail Care
Your nails maybe small but they are an important part of your body. Imagine yourself with no nails, how will that look like? Despite the importance of the nail though, it always amazes me how many people (especially guys) who don't give a rat's ass about it, while some thinks it's really complicated and they can't afford a pedicure or a manicure. The truth is, maintaining healthy nails is easy. They are naturally healthy without much care... relatively. Spend just 20 minutes a week on your nails and you'll see a significant difference. What does a beautiful set of nails mean to you? Your nail indicates your general health. If you nails cracks easily and dull, you are guaranteed to be unhealthy. A set of healthy nails to me, is just as important as a soft shiny hair and even smooth supple skin. Important Nails DOs and DONT's 1. When your nail gets too long, never clip them short, instead use an emery board and file them. Always file them in one direction, instead of back and forth 2. If you ever apply nail polish, use them only occasionally. Although there are no health effects, frequent users can experience their nails turning slightly yellowish. If your nails are already yellowish, you can dip your nail into lemon juice for a few minutes to lessen the stain. 3. After washing your hand with soap, use a moisturizer and cream on your fingers because soap tends to contain drying agents. This also applies after a bath. 4. Apply garlic for 10mins once a week to kill germs on your nails. 5. You can rub lavender oil on your cuticles to maintain your nail's health and give it an awesome fragrance. 6. If your long nail chips, file them. Waiting for it to heal or covering it with bandage will only make things worse. If You Have Weak And Brittle Nails Weak nails need extra care. Do not use nail polish remover more than twice a month and you do use them, avoid those that contain acetone. Instead of removing your nail polish, you can touch up. If you want to apply enamel, paint a layer of ridge-filling base coat before applying color polish. Always keep your nails dry and do not let it stay in water for too long. The Most Important Thing To Do As I have said, your nails reflect the overall health of your body. To have a beautiful set of nails, the best way is to improve your health. You can start drinking hair and nail supplement. The usual increase intake of vegetables and fruits while decrease intake of meat still hold true. It is always better to go organic if you can afford them. Organics have up to 5 time more nutrients and vitamin in them. To really boost your health, you can eat whole food supplement like Goji berries, Spirulina, Chorella and many others. Yes, protein can make your nail stronger if that's what it is lacking, but a lack of protein intake is rare is the America. Increasing its intake often does help.
