10 Nail Care Habits for Strong, Healthy Nails
Healthy nails often take a back seat. Between manicures, gels and household chores, your nails can lose strength and shine. Healing takes time, but simple daily habits can speed recovery. Start by feeding your nails from within. Eat protein-rich foods like eggs, fish and legumes. Keep cuticles soft with a daily oil containing vitamin E or jojoba. Give your nails a break from constant polish or extensions. File gently in one direction and protect your hands with gloves during chores. Switch to an acetone-free remover and always have gel or acrylic nails taken off professionally. Use a strengthening treatment with proteins or calcium, but avoid over-hardening formulas. Stop using your nails as tools and seal in moisture each night with a rich hand cream and cuticle oil. Consistency with these steps will bring back firmer, healthier nails.
