Keeping Your
Nails In Good Condition You will
keep your nails in top shape by following these few simple procedures -
- If your nails break often, keep them fairly
short.
- Never use your nails to open tins and other
containers with.
- Do not cut nails with scissors as this tends
to weaken them. Use a nail file or emery board. File in one direction from the side to the
centre. Do not rub back and forth. Have the emery board on a slight angle while filing the
nail.
- Use a good quality nail polish remover and
don’t pick at old nail polish. Do not use straight acetate to remove old nail polish
- use the cosmetic types as they have inbuilt moisturisers which condition the nail and do
not cause nail damage.
- There are numerous great nail moisturisers on
the market that harden and condition the nail at the same time.
- A more natural approach is to soak your nails
in a basin of hot almond or wheatgerm oil for 10 minutes. Of course ensure that the oil is
not too hot or you will be burnt.
- You can push back your cuticles with special
cuticle removers and a special hand cream - available at your local pharmacy. Do not ever
cut your cuticles.
- When polishing nails, use a base and a top
coat, which gives extra protection and thickness. Be sure to ‘tip’ the top edge
to seal the nail.
- Apply the polish sparingly. It is better to
apply a thin coat as it will not chip as quickly.
- Remember, pale or natural shades of colour
tend to make the hands look older, so wear more daring colours for a more youthful
appearance.
