If you're someone who loves having pretty nails, you know how important it is to take good care of them. Strong and healthy nails not only look good, but they also protect your fingertips and make everyday tasks easier. But with so many nail products and treatments out there, it can be tough to know where to start.
Don't worry, though – we've got you covered! Here are 12 tips to help you achieve stronger, healthier, and happier nails:
Keep your nails clean and dry. Moisture can make your nails soft and weak, so it's important to dry them thoroughly after washing your hands or doing the dishes.
Use a gentle nail polish remover. Acetone-based removers can be harsh on your nails, so look for a gentler alternative that won't dry them out.
Wear gloves when cleaning. Detergents and cleaning products can damage your nails and cuticles, so protect your hands with rubber gloves.
Avoid biting your nails. Not only is it a bad habit, but it can also damage your nails and cuticles.
File your nails in one direction. Sawing back and forth can weaken your nails and cause them to split.
Moisturize your nails and cuticles. Applying a moisturizing lotion or oil can help keep your nails and cuticles healthy and hydrated.
Use a base coat. A base coat can help protect your nails from staining and also make your nail polish last longer.
Choose nail polish carefully. Look for brands that are free of harsh chemicals like formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP.
Don't forget to remove your nail polish. Leaving nail polish on for too long can cause your nails to become discolored and brittle.
Eat a healthy diet. Nutrients like biotin, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids can help promote healthy nail growth.
Don't cut your cuticles. Cutting your cuticles can increase your risk of infection, so push them back gently with a cuticle stick instead.
Give your nails a break. If you wear nail polish all the time, give your nails a break every now and then to let them breathe.
By following these tips, you'll be well on your way to having stronger, healthier, and happier nails. So go ahead – give yourself a manicure and enjoy your beautiful new nails!
