Are you always worried about having nails that are difficult to grow and easy to break? You don’t have to worry! Today I will share some practical tips that will make it easy for your to grow healthy and beautiful nails.
1. The magic of cuticle oils
I used to think I could take care of my nails by simply applying hand cream. But I soon discovered that cuticle oils are the best way to do so. Cuticle oils moisturize the skin around nails, reduce fragility and promote healthy growth. Dr. Dana’s nourishing cuticle oils contain jojoba and natural ingredients and are easy to use. Sally Hansen’s vitamin E nail varnish is also affordable and effective. Drop a few drops on the cuticle and massage gently. You will notice that your nails become more lustrous and less likely break.
2. Try a different gel
While traditional gel nail polish may look good, it is not very friendly to nails that are fragile. I tried the Builder in A Bottle (BIAB), and it was amazing. It gives nails a strong structure and support, which makes them less vulnerable to damage when they are growing. This gel can be used to fill the nails for longer periods, reducing damage caused by frequent removal of the nails.
3. Vitamin D is important
Sometimes nail problems can be related to nutritional status. I discovered that I was vitamin D deficient, so I began taking daily supplements. I also took enough omega-3 fatty acid. My nails improved dramatically. You can’t rely on supplements alone, but if you don’t get enough nutrients in your diet, such as protein, then it is important to take supplements.
4. Hand cream is essential
I used to only use hand cream when my hands were extremely dry. But I later realized that moisturizing my hands is important for my nails. It is non-sticky and light, like Aveeno’s daily moisturizer hand cream. L’Occitane’s hand cream with shea butter has a great moisturizing effect. Apply it daily to maintain healthy skin and nails on your hands.
5. Surprise of glass file for nails
Glass nail files can prevent minor damage to the nails caused by traditional sandpaper. It can smoothen the edge of the nails and reduce the risk that they will break or split. The glass nail file may be slightly more expensive, but it is a tool that is worth investing in.
6. Exfoliate regularly
Use exfoliating products that contain salicylic acid on the cuticles and nails to remove dead skin, smoothen the nail surface, and allow subsequent care products to be better absorbed.
It is not difficult to have healthy and beautiful nails. As long as you pay attention to these little details in your daily life, you can make your nails strong and long.
