Natural Nail Care
1.The most important thing to keep in mind is that you should drink plenty of water, eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. In short you need to stay healthy if you want your nails look healthy.
2.Keep your nails clean by cleaning them with a mild soap (or even face wash) and lukewarm water, regularly.
3.Whenever you do any housework or gardening, or any work that exposes your hands to chemicals or too much water—wear gloves to protect your hands.
4.Do not bite your nails.
5.If your
nails turn brittle or flaky, or you find white marks or ridges on your nails, or if they turn yellow—consult a doctor. These can be symptoms for fungal or bacterial infection or vitamin or protein deficiency.
6.Use a nail brush to clean your nails. Make sure that dirt does not accumulate under your nails. This looks bad and can cause bacterial or fungal infection. Take particular care to make sure that the corners of your nails stay clean and dirt-free.
7.Moisturize your nails with olive
oil—massage your nails with olive oil daily. If maintaining this nail care regimen becomes a little difficult— follow this process at least once a week with warm olive oil.
8.If you love to wear nail enamel make sure you pick your
shades from major brands, only. Also, remember your nails need to "breathe." So, keep your nails "enamel free" for at least two days in a week. Use only good quality nail enamel removers. It may not be a good idea to do "budget shopping" as far as your
beauty care products are concerned.
9.Always use colorless
nail enamel as a base coat whenever you apply
nail enamel to your nails.
10.Use a nail clipper to trim your nails once a week or once every ten days—depending on how fast your
nails grow.
11.Use a nail buffer to smooth out rough or uneven portions of your
nails.
12.Use a file to shape your nails.
13.A cuticle pusher is useful if you want to push back the cuticles. You may also use a cotton-wool tipped orange stick, dipped in olive oil, for this.
14.Never use sharp objects on your nails.
