Nail Care Techniques

Healthy nails make your hands look beautiful. Clean nails will show that you are a type of person who pays much attention on cleanliness. Well to me both of these aspects, healthy and clean are very important to all of us. Clean nails will absolutely make your nails stronger and healthier. Well to get clean and healthy nails, you should know some good nail care techniques. The below are some of the nail care tips and techniques that I’ve read from a website.

“Do's and Don'ts of Nail Care
1. Do's
" Leave your nails without nail polish once in a while atleast inorder to allow them to breathe.
" Keep a pack of hand lotion or cream near the kitchen sink and use it each time after washing your hands.
" Wear gloves while doing housework or gardening and rub some hand cream or lotion before putting on the gloves.
" Apply oil to your nails whenever possible inorder to strengthen them.
" Include ample quantities of calcium and vitamin A in your daily diet.
" Keep your manicure set clean inorder to prevent any infection.
" Have a professional manicure done atleast once a month.
" Prolonged exposure to the sun is not good for nails and a lot of swimming will dry them. This can be encountered by keeping the nails and cuticles well moisturised.
" Before doing chores like dusting or gardening, first dig the nails into a soap bar. This prevents dirt from getting embedded under them and also make them easier to clean later.
" To keep nail polish intact in the bath, smoothen a little skin cream on it before going for a bath.
" If a nail breaks, we can get, professional help in fixing 'false' nails. Otherwise, try to file them down. If the break is bad, remove all the polish from that nail and mend the break with a small piece of cello-tape, cut to fit. Then re-apply polish.
" If nails are brittle and break or split easily, keep them oiled.

2. Don'ts
" Don't use your nails on a job that can be done just as well with a pair of scissors, pliers or a hammer
" Don't file nails when they are damp.
" Don't cut cuticles" Don't wash clothes or dishes in very hot water
" Don't bite or chew your nails.
" Don't clean your nails with a sharp metal instrument - use a nail brush and orange stick instead.
" Don't be seen with chipped nail polish - it is a sign of careless grooming.
" Don't leave your hands in detergent for long.
" Don't peel-off your nail polish as you wish to - always use a nail-polish remover.”
