Here are some ways you can boost your beauty habit and prep your hands for manicures in 2019.
What are your nail health and beauty mantras? Do you have strategies to reduce the blood loss that can occur at the tips of nails, to improve nail health with your daily use of your favorite nail polish? Are you conscious of your hygiene and nail-care practices? Are you doing what you can to fight nail dehydration and the ravages of products that are more toxic than others? Is your regimen long and eco-friendly? If you can’t answer “yes” to all these questions, you probably lack knowledge about one or many key elements in nail health, skin, and beauty. Many professionals believe nail health is as important as overall skin health because nail experts know it’s hard to develop good nails while on the other side of the bed. Time and time again nail professionals have asserted the importance of keeping skin, eyes, and nails healthy at the same time; so it’s imperative to do the same with your hands and nails!
Why Protect your Nails
A healthy nail is not just the first step to healthier nails, a healthy nail is one that is made up of healthy skin cells and a good response to being exposed to various personal care products. When healthy nails are clean, they protect against environmental and infections, ensure strong nails, and lessen nail cracking and bleeding, consequently giving way to strong nails. Healthy nails also counter the effects of aging by keeping nails radiant and healthy.
Here are five tips to keep your hands and nails clean, healthy, and strong (one tip for each):
Never get nail fungus
A healthy environment goes a long way in helping your nails grow faster, especially from the tips. A healthy skin is an integral part of a healthy nail, and that’s where your nail fungus comes in. Never get nail fungus by resorting to toxic skin products, cosmetics, and typical hand sanitizers. Your hands and nails are like little oases; don’t let them dry up with dirt or run off with bacteria from your skin.
Care for your nails with purifying and moisturizing products
Good nail care starts with purifying your nails with products like skin cleansers, soaps, and moisturizers. Nail cleaners help remove dirt and dirt build-up, while soaps and moisturizers eliminate dead skin and dirt, helping to maintain healthy nails and cuticles. If you don’t like picking or bobby pinning your nails, concentrate on moisturizing them. Gentle moisturizers with a low pH balance will help to soften brittle nails and keep them intact. Also, don’t use nail polish that is concentrated with formaldehyde.
Avoid chlorineic and chemical-heavy baths
The skin is an integrative part of the body; it is the key to good beauty. Some dermatologists have shown that poor skin health is directly connected to poor nail health. According to our skin, the nail and its structure are like a military citadel; any type of disease or infection that affects the skin, particularly through direct damage on the nerves, triggers inflammatory reactions that eventually manifest as joint or bone pain, eye issues, or lip sensitivity. If you notice that your nails are becoming brittle and swollen, don’t assume that the problem is your nail polish. And if your nails aren’t sticking, it might be a sign that your nails are starting to fray. A regular chlorineic bath may not help; a good therapist or hygienist will know if something is wrong.
Clean your bathroom thoroughly
Some people may be fighting the battle of tightening their skin, but they are still unable to deal with the fact that their bodies are too clean. Frequent bathing, heavy use of detergents, and post-diet and exercise cleanse the skin of skin nutrients, since skin cells are washed away.
Make sure your nails are covered and protected
Make sure that your nails are covered with a thin layer of oil or acetone to eliminate bacteria. The nail plate needs protection to prevent damage. You can also use a nail file to smooth out the surface before using your fingers to keep your nails healthy. With other times, you can use a good nail polish remover or a nail-protectant to prevent damage or chip.
“Good nail care and longevity are much like keeping your body and mind properly nourished. When we take care of our skin, our nails, and hair with natural products and beauty remedies, our bodies, minds, and spirits all become more alive and well,” says Sally Aitchison, International Panorama Consultant at OPI.
