A WAY TO STRENGTHEN NAILS

Each of us wants beautiful, thick and strong nails. They can be a sign of good health and define our hands in many ways. The only problem is that sometimes they are not as strong as we would like them to be. Fortunately, there are ways and habits that can help strengthen them in no time at all. 

MINIMIZE EXPOSURE TO WATER 

Excessive exposure of nails to water makes them brittle and weak. It is necessary to implement measures that reduce the contact time between water and nails during washing and bathing. Gloves can be worn for this purpose.

MOISTURIZE YOUR HANDS DAILY

Hands often show the first signs of aging, so it's important to moisturize them to maintain their appearance. In addition to preventing wrinkles, keeping your hands moisturized can also help avoid dry skin and cracked nails. There are many types of hand lotions on the market, so find one that works best for you and stick to it!

PROPER NAIL FILING

The growth rate of nails is about 3 millimeters per month, so regular filing is necessary to keep them looking their best. Proper nail filing not only ensures neat nails, but also helps prevent nail breakage and splitting. Use a file with a small grit, such as 180.

TAKE SUPLEMENTS - BIOTIN or COLLAGEN.

Nails are one of the most visible signs of good health and can be a key indicator of our overall well-being. If you're looking for ways to keep your nails healthy and strong, consider supplementation with collagen or biotin . These supplements can help improve the appearance and condition of your nails by providing them with essential nutrients they may be lacking.

DRINK A LOT OF WATER

Make sure you stay hydrated by drinking enough water every day. It is extremely important for your health, in addition to helping you take care of the health of your nails. Lack of adequate moisture in the body causes nails to be brittle and break easily. Consuming enough water keeps nails hydrated and strong.  

CONSIDER A HEALTHY DIET 

Following a healthy diet is one of the key ways to strengthen your nails. A diet rich in minerals and multivitamins is good for you. Foods such as berries contain antioxidants that protect the body's cells from damage. Leafy vegetables contain the iron needed to strengthen nails, and magnesium-rich almonds help smooth the vertical edges of nails. Calcium in dairy products helps their growth. Other essential foods for maximum nail health include coconut oil, vitamin D, and fish oil           

ALWAYS KEEP YOUR NAILS SHORT 

No matter how in love you are with your long nails, keeping them shorter is a must if you want to strengthen them at all. This is because the longer they are, the greater the risk of nails breaking, cracking and splitting. This worsens their strength. In addition, it is easier to maintain the appearance of shorter nails. 

CAREFULLY CHOOSE NAIL PRODUCTS

Acetone is an aggressive chemical that can really damage your nails. Avoid using nail polish removers that contain acetone and instead choose one that is gentler on your nails. Natural nail polish removers include alcohol, spray polish, lemon slice, orange juice vinegar and soy-based nail polish remover. Leave it on your nails for 10-45 seconds, then gently rub and remove the polish.

GIVE YOUR NAILS A REST 

Although polish looks nice, sometimes you have to give it up so your nails can breathe. Continuous use of polish, even non-toxic ones, can weaken your nails. After wearing it for a while, remove it with an acetone-free polish remover and leave it shine-free for a few days. This is crucial for the strength and overall condition of your nails.
