Nails & Cuticles – Eight Care Tips

February 26, 2009


Beauty of nails is a part of beauty of hands. Untidy and bad shaped nails spoil the entire beauty of hands. It is very important that the nails are kept clean and in proper shape to make the hands look beautiful and vibrant.

The eight tips to care for the nails & cuticles are listed below:

1) The nails should be curved in proper shape, should not have any spots, and should look smooth. Make sure that there are no hollows or ridges in the nails.

2) Before filing the nails, make sure that they are dry completely. If they are not completely dry, they will not be filed properly, and may break.

3) Further, the nails should not be filed with a metal filer. The nails should be filed properly with a fine emery board.

4) If not shaped properly, the nails break very early. Therefore, make sure that the nails are filed in an oval shape. Pointed nails break very early.

5) Between the nails and the finger, there is a cuticle that acts as a seal. The outer layers that are dead should be taken off by exfoliating the rough and dry skin of the cuticle in a gentle manner. This would help in the emergence of new and soft skin.

6) It is very important to take care of this new skin, as it protects the nails.

7) While doing manicure, make sure that you don’t over do it, as it may cause damage to the cuticle, thus thickening the cuticle and causing it to overgrow.

8) Make sure not to use sharp or metal instruments on your cuticles.

Apart from the above mentioned eight tips to take care of the nails and the cuticles, it is further recommended to make sure that you don’t have nail polish on the nails every time. Keep the nails naked fro some time. The nails can be strengthened by having a nail bath with warm olive oil.
