Fingernail Care

You look pretty, you always want to be trendy, wearing the finest clothes and shoes. You are very aware of your skin and hair...but what about your nails. What do you do about your nails? Do they receive the attention they deserve? Do you take care of fingernails? How? This means so much more than painting and clipping. It's been said a lot of times that they are the mirror of your inner health. Look at them! Do they look healthy? Is the easiest thing to keep them like this. You only have to eat the appropriate foods and protect your hands from environmental stress. Here are a few steps:

Pay attention and include in your eating menu foods that contain Calcium, Iron, Potassium, and, most important Vitamin B. You can do that by consuming sea food, celery, dairy products and soy.

If your nails are weak, you can make them stronger using lemon. To whiten use baking soda in a cup of warm water. Soak your fingernails in it for maximum 15 minutes, then brush gently every nail.

Apply at least twice a day a moisturizer, and when you are exposed to the sun or going to swim use a sunscreen lotion. You have to know that sun and chlorine are enemies of your nails, making them brittle. Did you know that even the soap you are frequently using can dry your fingernails?

Never forget about drinking water. It's not a joke, your nails may suffer from thirst.

Trim your nails and cut them in a rounded or square shape. For shaping use a fine emery board, and work only in one direction, from side to center. Do not cut the cuticles, but use an appropriate cream in order to make them soft. Do not cut them, but push down with an orange stick. Buff your nails from the tip to the cuticles.

When you polish your nails use a clear base coat, and aplly then maximum three coats of coloured polish. If you want your nail polish to last longer, keep it in the fridge. Before using it, gently rub it between your hands in order to warm it up. If you don't want bubbles in it, don't shake it.

The nail polish remover shouldn't be used too often. It may dry your fingernails. So buy lasting nail polishes!

You like long fingernails. Take care of your fingernails, and avoid applying artificial nails. Soon they will damage your nails. You have to know that the solution used when applying them are dangerous and being absorbed can harm the nail's bed. It is well known that you can get fungal infection easily.

Nail products can be the causes of rashes around the eyes or on the fingers. Some operations, like buffing or filling, can allow very small particles to enter the air. The most damaging particles can be found in nail hardeners.

Each time you are cleaning the house, use gloves. It's odd at first, but you will get used to it. Protect your fingernails from the chemicals.

Never use your nails to open boxes or scrap different surfaces.

Don't forget – fingernails are part of your skin and they protect your fingertips. Fingernail care is as important as makeup for a pretty face.
