Read on to know how to get gorgeous and healthy nails with the simple tips follow.\n<h4>1. Keep nail beds hydrated\n</h4><p><img fetchpriority='\"high\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-large wp-image-4506 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/b1-1024x702.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"702\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b1-1024x702.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>To keep your nails hydrated, rub a small amount of petroleum jelly into your cuticle and the skin surrounding your nails every evening before you go to bed or whenever your nails feel dry. Keep a jar in your purse, desk drawer, car\u2014anywhere you might need it.\n</p><p>Not a fan of petroleum jelly? Substitute castor oil. It\u2019s thick and contains vitamin E, which is great for your cuticles. Or head to your kitchen cupboard and grab the olive oil\u2014it also works to moisturize your nails.\n</p><h4>2. Protect nails from wear and tear\n</h4><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-4507 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/b2.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1000\"' height='\"667\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b2.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Wear rubber gloves whenever you do housework or wash dishes. Most household chores from gardening, to scrubbing the bathroom, to washing dishes, are murderous on healthy nails.\n</p><p>For extra hand softness, apply hand cream before you put on the rubber gloves. Slipping on some gloves will also protect your manicure.\n</p><h4>3. Treat cuticles gently\n</h4><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-4508 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/b3-1024x819.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"819\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b3-1024x819.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>When pushing back your cuticles (it is not necessary to cut them), come in at a 45-degree angle and be very gentle. Otherwise, the cuticle will become damaged, weakening the entire nail.\n</p><h4>4. Avoid ingrown nails\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-4509 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/b4-1024x683.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"683\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b4-1024x683.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>For healthy nails, trim your toenails straight across to avoid ingrown toenails. This is particularly important if you have diabetes.\n</p><h4>5. Keep hands dry\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-4510 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/b5-1024x683.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"683\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b5-1024x683.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Dry your hands for at least two minutes after doing the dishes, taking a bath\/shower, etc. Also, dry your toes thoroughly after swimming or showering. Leaving them damp increases your risk of fungal infection and ruins healthy nails.\n</p><h4>6. Get shoes in top shape\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-4511 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/b6-1024x712.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"712\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b6-1024x712.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Air out your work boots and athletic shoes. Better yet, keep two pairs and switch between them so you never put your feet into damp, sweaty shoes. This could lead to fungal infections.\n</p><h4>7. Find high-quality socks\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-4512 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/b7-1024x683.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"683\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b7-1024x683.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Wear 100 percent cotton socks. They\u2019re best for absorbing dampness, thus preventing fungal infections. You can also use socks to cover up your messed-up DIY toenail art.\n</p><h4>8. Try these vitamins\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-4514 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/b9-1024x683.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"683\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b9-1024x683.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>To make your nails as strong and resilient as a horse\u2019s hooves, take 300 micrograms of the B vitamin biotin four to six times a day. In a U.S. study, 63 percent of people taking biotin for brittle nails experienced an improvement.\n</p><h4>9. Got milk?\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-4515 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/b10-1024x683.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"683\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b10-1024x683.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>It\u2019s great for healthy nails! Add a glass of milk and a hard-boiled egg to your daily diet. Rich in zinc, they\u2019ll do wonders for your nails, especially if your nails are spotted with white, a sign of low zinc intake. A DIY mixture can also help with healthy nail growth.\n</p><h4>10. File your nails correctly\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-4516 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/b11-1024x683.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"683\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b11-1024x683.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>To keep your nails at their strongest, avoid filing in a back-and-forth motion\u2014go in only one direction. And never file just after you\u2019ve gotten out of a shower or bath. Wet nails break more easily.\n</p><h4>11. Try this finger massage\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-4517 alignnone src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/b12-1024x683.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"683\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b12-1024x683.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Massage your nails to keep them extra strong and shiny. Nail buffing increases blood supply to the nail, which stimulates the matrix of the nail to grow, says Galvez.\n</p><h4>12. Keep \u2019em polished\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-4518 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/b13-1024x683.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"683\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b13-1024x683.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Polish your nails, even if it\u2019s just with a clear coat. It protects your nails, says manicurist Diaconescu. If you prefer color, use a base coat, two thin coats of color, and a topcoat. Color should last at least seven days but should be removed after 10 days. It can be hard to always be walking around with fresh polish on your nails, completely incapable of doing\u2026 well, anything with your nails wet, but we\u2019ve got you covered!\n</p><h4>13. Avoid these polish remover ingredients\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-4521 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/05%5C/a22-1024x683.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"683\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/a22-1024x683.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Avoid polish removers with acetone or formaldehyde. They\u2019re terribly drying to nails. Use acetate-based removers instead.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>Probably you never knew that diet, and filing habits had such an effect on your nails.
