Some Tips for Maintaining
Healthy and Beautiful Nails
Regular nail care helps us maintain healthy nails. Healthy nails are beautiful and they help us perform daily tasks. Always moisturize after washing hands and apply nail polish occasionally to protect your nails.
A healthy diet helps to ensure healthy nails.
Nails exposed to water and/or irritating substances can split and/or peel.
Use gloves for protection against irritants.
Wear shoes that fit properly to avoid ingrown toenails.
Wear slippers when in public showers, pools and/or locker room areas to prevent fungal infections.
The best time to push back your cuticles on fingers and toes is when they are wet and soft.
Do not break the seal between your nail and your skin when clipping cuticles or infections may occur.
Clip or cut toe nails straight across.
When choosing a nail salon look at cleanliness.
Manicure and pedicure tools and implements must be properly sterilized. When you visit a nail salon you can bring your own nail tools to be safe.

Tips
Never file your finger nails in public. Emergencies should be handled in private.
Polish can dry out your nails. Winter is the one time when you can afford to skip the toenail polish (although not the pedicure). Let your toenails breathe. it will do them good to get some air. Cut them short, give them a buff and treat with a little almond oil.
