Nicola Your nails need plenty of care and maintenance to keep looking their best. Healthy fingernails are happy fingernails, but how do you tell if your fingernails are healthy? Pretty easy really, if your nails are smooth without grooves, no signs of discolouration or spots, then they’re healthy.
Below are a few suggestions on how to keep your fingernails looking good:
- Always try to keep your nails clean. Preventing bacteria from growing under your fingernails will help keep them healthy.
- Keep your fingernails as dry as possible, as continuous contact with water will cause them to weaken and split. If you’re washing up, try and use rubber gloves.
- Don’t just moisturise your skin with hand lotion, rub it into your fingernails.
- If you feel your fingernails are weak, then apply nail hardening products to strengthen them. You should see a difference within a month.
