Healthy Nails: Part 2

If you are constantly using your hands to wash dishes or are in an occupation dealing with water, wear gloves. In addition, addition of detergents and other chemicals to water can ruin your nails. So make it a habit of wearing gloves.

Maintain your nails just like you take time to get our hair done well. Take some time to trim, polish and maintain your nails. Use sharp scissors and trim the edges. Do not pull on hangnails. Clip the hangnails off and do leave a slight angle outwards. Make sure the nail edges are smooth and even.

Always moisturize your hands and nails. Failure to moisturize nails is the number one reason why people have crappy looking nails. Nails need hydration like skin. Any skin moisturizer will do and rub it on the nails. You do not have to buy the fanciest or the best smelling moisturizer; baby oil is as good as anything out on the market. Each time you remove nail polish, apply a moisturizer.

Use non-acetone based products to remove your nail polish. Acetone based nail polish removers can dry your nails and make them crack.

These simple home measures can nake your nails look nice and attractive. Moreover, when you apply nail polish, you will look a lot sexier.
