Simple Tips for Strong, Healthy Natural Nails
Healthy natural nails do not require an expensive routine. Keep them clean and dry, moisturise your nails and cuticles often, and wear gloves when washing dishes or using harsh cleaning products. Avoid cutting your cuticles, picking at polish or using your nails to open packages. File rough edges gently in one direction and keep your nails at a length that reduces breakage. Take regular breaks from gel polish, acrylics and extensions, especially if your nails become thin, dry or brittle. Clean your clippers and other nail tools regularly, and choose salons that maintain good hygiene. See a healthcare professional if you notice persistent pain, swelling, unusual discolouration, deep ridges or sudden changes in nail texture.
