Nail Care Tips

The Following are the list of DO's

Always drink plenty of water everyday. It is good for your general health and a well-hydrated body contributes to healthy nails. Cracked nails may specify the need for greater fluid intake.

Apply varnish remover before applying the nail polish. This removes any grease on the surface of the nail and gives extra life to the nail polish, so make sure you do this despite of whether there is old polish on your nails or not.

Use a good quality buffer if possible once a week, no more than twice a week. Be sure not to buff too strongly and not for too long to avoid damaging the nail. Just a brief gentle buff before applying nail polish can help stop the polish from peeling due to a rough or uneven surface on the nail.

Use a soft nail file. Emery boards can be too coarse and damage the nail easily unless used with great care.

Wear protective gloves when doing any work that requires the hands to be sunken in water or come in contact with chemicals. If possible use gloves with cotton lining so they remain dry inside.

Give special attention to the cuticles regularly, using a moisturizing cream often to avoid the cuticles from drying out. Overgrown and ungroomed cuticles can harmfully affect nail growth.

The Following are the list of DON'TS

Do not file backwards and forwards as this can cause splits in the nails, which become even worse if water penetrates after hand washing. Instead use a gentle one way stroking action with the file along with a little patience.

Do not file the corners of the nail as this can weaken them and make them more vulnerable to breaking. File straight across in a way that produces a soft and oval shape.

Do not use varnish remover and reapply nail polish more than one or two times a week. If possible select a varnish remover that contains moisturizers to avoid the nails drying out.

Do not use your nails to scratch hard surfaces, pick at an object, remove staples, or give out as a digging tool. Just take a minute to get a proper tool for the job and evade sacrificing your nails.

Do not ever cut the cuticles or use metal or sharp objects to push them back. Purchase the proper tool for the job and hold it at an angle and gently push the cuticles back without damaging them. Using a cuticle remover first will help make the job simple and avoid damaging the sensitive skin.

After a nail care session, conduct a little analysis. To see how smooth your nails in reality are run them down an old pair of tights or pantyhose. Any snags will help you locate the nail that desires further attention. The nail care tips mentioned requires some time and effort and perhaps initially a small investment to obtain the necessary professional tools.
