Keratin is a hard protein that makes up the nails. Proteins are one of the building blocks that form the body. Proper nail care helps protect the ends of the fingers and toes from any types of trauma or injury. Proper nail care is important because we do most of our activities in daily living using our hands. It is through the hands that we demonstrate care and compassion, love and acceptance, trust, forgiveness and gratitude. It is also through the hands that we transmit all kinds of bacteria and infectious organisms that are bad for the health.
Over the past few years, the nails have become more significant for cosmetic rather than for health reasons. Manicuring is the term used to define the care for the hands and nails. A person should do basic manicuring at least once a week. It is advisable to seek the help of a professional manicurist every four to six weeks. It is the job of a professional manicurist to keep your nails healthy and looking beautiful.
When it comes to personal grooming, nail care is so important. What impression would a woman make on you if she has done everything to make herself presentable except that she has been careless about her nails? Nail care is so easy to do that if you cannot afford to visit the manicurist, you can always do it yourself. Here are some easy tips to keep your nails healthy and looking perfect.
For grimy nails, just give your hands a scrub with a mild soap and warm water before and after doing something. Using a nailbrush and an orange stick, remove the gunges from under your nails.
Prevent infections such as nail fungus by regularly cleaning your nails. If infection such as nail fungus does occur, do not hesitate to seek professional help. Most often, an anti-fungal paint is prescribed to get rid of it. Some of the outward signs of nail fungus are whitish or yellowish discolorations, crumbliness and a slight separation from the nail bed. You can also trim off loose skin down the side of your nails or hangnails with nail cutters. Skin tearing increases the risk of infections. You should never consider using a pair of scissors to cut your nails.
Do basic nail care by washing your hands with a mild, hypoallergenic soap. Lather and gently scrub the nails with a nailbrush. To soften the cuticles, soak the hands in lukewarm water for five to fifteen minutes. For cuticles that are long and ragged, push them back very gently. To avoid scratching yourself, trim your nails to the desired length and file the edges to even out the spiky tips. Hand creams help in moisturizing your hands if you have dry skin.
Never bite your nails. Nail biting is a habit that implies insecurity. A person often bites his or her nails when tensed, anxious, embarrassed, afraid, or troubled. If nail biting is a habit you want to stop, try using anti-biting nail paint. Anti-biting nail paint tastes so disgusting that no one can stand it.
If you can afford to have artificial nails, make sure that they are applied by a good technician. Artificial nails need manicuring or refilling every two to three weeks. If however you decide to remove them, use the prescribed solution. Natural nails remain healthy and in good condition even when the artificial nails are removed.
Nail tip designs are so tempting. Nail tip designing may be so fashionable but nail tip designs that are put into place with glue is bad. Glue damages the nails even when they are applied on the polished layers. You can do nail tip designs by experimenting on different layers of nail polish color. Make sure that the last polished layer is already dry before the next layer is applied.
Acrylic nails should be kept polished. Do not thicken the polish too much because it causes bubbling. Nails should first be cleaned before the application of an acrylic layer. A base coat should be applied first to protect the nails and help the acrylic layer stick the proper way. For excess acrylic on the sides of the fingernail, use a nail stick to trace the borders. To camouflage bubbles or streaks and add shine to the nails, the polish is sealed with a top coat.
Proper hygiene is so important that you can actually judge a person’s character by how he or she takes care of herself. Nail care might be too petty that you can hardly notice nor remember it. What you actually do not realize is that 90% of the people you acquaint yourself with assess and evaluate your overall persona through the appearance of your nails.
