You should ensure that you wash your hands with a gentle soap. Also, you scrub under the nails using a nail brush. Doing this not only makes your nails clean, but it also keeps the bacteria at bay. To keep your hands and nails soft, you always use a lotion after you have showered.
For proper nail care, before you trim your nails, always soak them in warm water. This softens the nails and makes the trimming easier, safer and less messy.
When trimming the nails, you do not cut the cuticles. This is because the cuticles exist to keep the bacteria away; therefore, cutting the cuticles would expose the nails to infections. Instead of cutting the cuticles push them back using a cuticle stick.
If you like having polish on your nails, you should not apply polish while there is lotion, oil or any previous polish on the nails; apply the polish only when the nail is sparkling clean.
Also, always use a base coat before applying the polish. The base coat aids in extending the life of the polish. Also, the base coat prevents the nail from constantly breaking.
Strong and shiny nails are an indicator of good nail care and good nutrition. Whereas chafing, breaking and dirty nails scream unkemptness, irresponsibility and dirtiness. To avoid being labeled as dirty or unkempt, take proper care of your nails!
