healthy nails

Here are few more tips for healthy nails..

Use non-acetone polish remover.

Allow nails to 'breathe' without polish a few days a month. Buffing with a chamois buffer during that time helps circulation and gives nails a nice sheen.

Massage a nail-and-cuticle cream into fingertips every night.

If you are prone to brittle nails, do not use any polish or treatment formula containing formaldehyde. Give your nails a treat with a 10-minute soak in olive oil or wheat-germ oil. Wipe off and massage the excess into cuticles.

Get enough calcium, iron, zinc, protein and vitamins A, B and C. You already knew this, but it's still true. Evening-primrose-oil supplements are pricey but will strengthen nails.

Any overly pronounced ridges could be the mark of a fungal infection. See a doctor at the first sign; fungi are stubborn and need long-term treatment.

As always, keep your stress level as low as possible. Stress affects every aspect of our appearance, and often that deep ridge is telling you something.

I used to apply nail polish very frequently before without giving much time for my nails to breathe.It resulted in my nails turning yellowish.I know better now!

Stress affecting the appearance of nails is news for me.I didnt know about this before.

olive oil massaging is a good moisture lock for the skin. especially in us, you need to always keep hands in water for all the household things and its dry during the winter season. so olive oil gives a good moisture lock and keeps hands soft.
