Don’t
- do house-work without gloves : gloves provide protection from harsh cleaning substances and damage to the nails and matrix.
- Over expose hands to water : just like the skin on your hands, nails become fragile; the protective lipid film is destroyed and the nail becomes soft.
- Overuse of nail polish : some nail polishes use pigments which migrate toward the nail plate and deeply impregnate them with this discoloration; even after polish has been removed, the nail retains his unsightly colour.
- Use an acetone-containing solvent : as this is too aggressive it will dry out the nail and make it weak and brittle.
- Use a formaldehyde-based hardener : even if the effect is striking from the very first application, the nail very quickly becomes crumbly, brittle and yellow(formaldehyde destroys he srucure of keratin, and diminishes the resiliency).
- Use artificial nails : the nails cannot “breathe” and may be severely damaged by certain resin-based glue and harsh chemicals. In some cases they become subjected to fungal infections.
- Use metal nail-file : as the are harder, they can cause repeated trauma(striations). Use a pliable emery file instead.
Do:
- Stimulate the nail by massaging : massaging he tips of your fingers stimulates the blood and lymph circulations; tapping your finger is also stimulating.
- Give your nails a rest : if you must use nail polish, give your nails a holiday one week in every month. Nail polish gives the nail a hermetic coating which stops it “taking in oxygen”.
- Eat balanced and varied diet with plenty of vitamins and minerals; it is also good for healthy nails.
1. CALCIUM for nail growth: dairy products, fish.
2. SULPHUR is a constituent of keratin, vital for structure: cabbage, onion, garlic, cucumber.
3. IRON for tissue oxygenation and srengtening brittle nails; lentils, grapes, dried fruit and nuts.
4. VITAMIN A for protection: oily fish, carrot, butter.
5. VITAMIN B for protection: wheat, celery.
6. VITAMIN C for suppleness and vitality: kiwi fruit, tomatoes,citrus fruit.
- Relax : a little relaxation to make up for long hours and stress is also good for healthy nails.
