How to get Healthy and Long Nails

Hello Everybody,

We all must take good care of not only skin an hair but also of our nails. Often we forget that these little babies that we use more as tools, need some love too. Here are Top 10 tips for long and strong nails:

1. Don't Cut Cuticles- Never cut all the way around the cuticle because that will cause the skin to become ragged and tear, opening the body to bacteria.
2. Don't File Nails Back and Forth- Never saw back and forth on the tip of the nail, as this will weaken nails.
3. Give gap between nail paint application- Always keep nails bare for a few days between nailpaint applications.
4. Don't peel off old nail paint- Picking away at old or chipped nail polish will aggravate the nail bed and lead to damage.
5. Don't use nails as Tools- Take a conscious effort to pay close attention to how you use nails. Don't use them to open boxes and stuff like that.
6. Apply Hand and Nail Cream- Moisturize your hands with hand cream or cuticle oil every time you wash your hands.
7. Eat a well balanced Diet- Nails are made out of protein, so add more to your diet.
8. Get Regular Manicures- Regular manicures help keep nails healthy and push cuticles down.
9. Try to use chemical free products- Now you can find vegan and chemical free nail products, try to get your hands in them.
10. Don't go overboard with hand sanitizer-  Using too much hand sanitizer can dry out not only hands but nails too.
