Beautify Your Hands and Nails

With spring comes spring cleaning and working in the garden. Here are some tips for keeping your hands and nails healthy and beautiful.

Always wear gloves when cleaning, washing dishes, or working in the garden. Not only do gloves help protect our hands and nails from water, they also prevent bacteria from getting under nails.

The more you hydrate your nails, the more they become flexible and the less likely they will break. So, if you don't like wearing gloves, leave a bottle of hand cream next to the sink to remind yourself to moisturize.

To prevent sunspots or premature aging on your hands, be sure to apply sunscreen to the back of your hands.

If your nails are weak, file them into a square shape with rounded corners as it is the strongest nail shape.

Nails are brittle or cuticles are splitting? No worries. Massage cuticle oil or lotion and gently push the cuticles back. The gentle massaging action will ensure that your cuticles are loose and encourage nails to grow straight and healthy. It also stimulates nail cell growth. You can easily fit this into your daily routine by doing this while watching TV. After a while, you nails will grow faster, stronger, and healthier.
