Nail Care :
The Nails on the fingers and toes are made of a hard protein called Keratin. The Nails help to protect the fingers and toes from Trauma, and usually do a good job of it under normal circumstances. The average nail takes about 90 days to grow from base to tip. Like hair and skin, Nails will become brittle and weak if subjected to neglect and poor diet.
Why It Is so Hard to Grow and Maintain Gorgeous Nails ?
Nails aren't alive; they are dead (if they were living tissue, they could repair themselves instead of making us do it for them).
If Nails aren't alive, Then How do They Grow ?
Actually, they don't; new cells develop deep under your cuticles and push out the older, dead ones - forming
those flat,hard surfaces we love to pamper and polish.
Want Great looking natural nails without a lot of bother and fuss ? Here's how you do it :
- Eat foods that are rich in iron, calcium, vitamin B and potassium, like dairy products, seafood, celery
and Soy. - Drink 8 glasses of water every day to hydrate the body.including your nails. Weak and Splitting nails can often be traced to poor water intake.
- Remember that sun and chlorine can make nails brittle. Use sunscreen on your hands, and moisturize well after swimming.
- Wear gloves when cleaning with harsh chemicals, washing dishes, or gardening. Keep gloves handy in your work areas and use them religiously.
- Avoid using perfumed lotions that contain alcohol if your nails are brittle. This will only exacerbate
the problem. - Don't bite your nails.
- Don't use your nails as tools to open letters, boxes, scrape stuff off surfaces, etc.Use the pads of
the fingers instead. Not only will this save your nails, it makes you look more graceful as well. - Always use a hand lotion or cream after washing your hands. Soaps and cleaners dry out hands and nails.
