How much time do you spend taking care of your hands? And if we ask you about your nails, do you have some kind of ritual to keep your nails strong and healthy? You have to know that there are important factors in our day to day, such as the type of food we eat, that influence their condition. In the summer season is when we pay the most attention to this part of the body, perhaps because we paint them more, perhaps because we have more time, or perhaps because they look better by not wearing them covered by gloves and by wearing open shoes. Whatever the time of year it is, we must try to pamper them to avoid a deteriorated appearance of them. Will you join the challenge that we propose to show off perfect nails? 3, 2, 1…let’s start!
4 tricks for strong and healthy nails
- Take care of your diet. The state of our nails can be a trigger on the state of our health and on certain deficiencies that our body has, such as the lack of vitamins B and E. A correct diet, which includes seafood, eggs, oats, dried fruits, dairy, oily fish or olive oil, will help us improve our health in general and that of our nails.
- Use suitable products. Be very careful with the type of polish you use for your nails. Before buying any, take a good look at its composition and avoid those that contain substances such as formaldehyde, deputy phthalate (DBP) and toluene. A poor choice of nail polish can cause dry, brittle, scaly nails and can even generate certain allergies in other parts of the body that we keep in contact with our nails/hands, such as the eyelids, neck or mouth.
- Hydrate them. Dry, cracked and rough hands? A good moisturizing hand cream and a gentle massage in the morning and in the afternoon and… Solved! Put the cream in your bag and pull it as long as you notice that feeling of dryness in them. Currently in stores you can find travel format containers that take up very little.
- File them correctly. It is important to carry out a good filing to prevent the nails from breaking or weakening. To prevent this from happening, we also recommend that you get a hardener with a large amount of nutrients and no added chemicals.
