Get Strong Healthy Nails

1. Be gentle on your nails. Your nails are delicate avoid using rough files. When choosing a nail file opt for a soft texture and file the nail in one direction. Cleaning with chemicals and washing dishes by hand can also weaken nails, so use rubber gloves.

2. Moisturise your nails and cuticles. Cuticles are a seal of protection for preventing fungus, bacteria, and infection, so take good care of them. Massaging your cuticles with a good nail oil such as Nail Kind Nail Oil, helps to keep them hydrated and minimise those dreaded hangnails.

3. Give Your Nails Some TLC. If your nails are dry or brittle, don’t leave your polish on for too long - as this can lead to keratin granulation and nail discolouration. Wearing a base coat under your polish, helps to prevent staining especially from darker nail polish shades.

4. Prevent nail infections. Your shoes are damp and warm environments for bacteria to grow so keeping your feet clean and dry will prevent problems like athlete’s foot spreading and causing fungal nail infections.

5. Eat Foods & Vitamins that strengthen nails. Adding nutrients in your daily diet to help strengthen your nails like Biotin, Iron, B and C vitamins, can help keep your nails healthy.
