Having beautiful long nails is like having beautiful accessories on your hair or clothes. It makes your appearance better.

Learn how to care more for your nails from now onwards!

.

Pamper your nails with lotion

You don’t only indulge the skin on your hands and fingers with lotion but you should do so with your nails as well. See the skin around the root of your nails? Those are the areas that need the source of vitamin E lotion the most. Therefore, be diligent enough to give some vitamin E boost to your nails and the skin around it. Apply it while you’re in the office or before going to bed. Looking for a more natural option? Try olive oil then.

.

Using gloves

So what if you’re hard labor kind of woman? You can still take care of your nails by using gloves while washing the dishes, gardening or cleaning the toilet or washing the car. It’s one of the best ways to protect your nails and the skin on your hand from dryness and even allergies. But don’t forget to apply the lotion beforehand.

.

Be careful, be very careful with cuticles

When you’re discarding dead cuticles off in between nails, make sure the position is about 45 degrees and do it gently. If not, the possibility of you ruining your nails cuticles are high and it’ll eventually negatively affect all areas near the nails.

.

Make sure it’s straight

Your nails should be cut straight and neatly to avoid nails growing and gripping into the skin, which in time if you leave it be, will become a problem. This step is especially important for those with diabetes.

.

Manicure and pedicure

If you can indulge yourself with chocolates sometimes, you surely able to indulge yourself with manicure or pedicure too, right? Plus, you won’t gain any extra weight for a manicure or pedicure, which you will definitely do with a medium slice of hot fudge chocolate cake.

.

Get Vitamin B Biotin

Have you experience broken nails before? Even when you’re not doing anything strenuous that can cause it to break and get all crooked and chipped? Well, that actually shows that your nails need some nutrition, and yes, not only your bones need vitamins and minerals, so do your nails. Don’t forget to get around 300 microgram of Vitamin B biotin a day. A research conducted in Swiss shown that a person who takes sufficient amount of Vitamin B biotin consistently for six months has a much stronger and more beautiful nail structure.

.

Spend a little for the second shoe

This is a little advice for those who love wearing close-fitted shoes. Make sure you have more than one shoes. Air your shoes well, and spray it with anti-odor and anti-bacteria disinfection. This is because as we go through each day, our feet will sweat too and the trapped heat plus sweat will cause unpleasant smell and dwelling bacteria that might also deter the appearance and condition of your toe nails. Opt for cotton stockings if you need to use it. It’s the best material to absorb sweat and moisture.

.

Healthy eating plan for beautiful nails

Your nails need more of calcium and iron (aside from Vitamin B biotin mentioned above). Therefore, make some effort to integrate a glass of milk and two eggs into your diet. A glass of low-fat milk and two half-cooked eggs can already be part of your healthy eating plan menu! Here’s a tip: if you see some white dots appearing on your nails, it simply shows that you’re lacking calcium and iron.

Nice point there. Very informative. Most women nowadays don’t usually notice it but they take their nails for granted. I teach my girlfriends on how can they take good care of their nails just like any other parts of their body that needs attention.
