Easy Tips for Healthy and Beautiful Nails: A Simple Guide

When I was in Japan, I had customers who had a complex about their nails.For example, their nails are thin, fragile, and what's more, their nails’ shape is ugly or short.

I experienced nail care from a woman who had a habit of biting her nails.As these examples show, we had a complex about nails.

Almost all problems about nails can be solved to do nail care correctly.

The most important thing is to keep nails healthy in order to do nail care.Your nails would be reborn with more beauty and health after 6 months.

So I’d like to share 5 ways to keep your nails healthier.

Remove Water from Your Nail After Using Water

If you wash your hands, what will you do?Are you leaving your hands wet?

When your wet hands are drying, water inside skin and nails is evaporating, too.

Skin can turnover, so it will recover from any dry damage, while the nail is dead tissue, so it can’t.

So, what should we do after using water?

Instantly wipe your hands with a towel to remove the water after using the water.Using hand cream or cuticle oil is more perfect.To thoroughly avoid dry nails makes your nails healthy.

Use a Nail File Instead of Nail Clippers.

I recommend using a nail file instead of nail clippers.

When cutting your nails with nail clippers, it gets 24kg of the pressure around the rail root. There is a tissue of creating nails called nail matrix inside the nail cuticle and this pressure causes damage to nail matrix. So I highly recommend using nail files.

I’d like to share some tips on how to use a good nail file.

1.Use a Nail File with a Grit of Around 200.

Generally, nail files sold in drug stores have a lower grit, which can make it challenging to file our nails effectively. Nail files with higher grit are sold on Lazada and Shopee, so it's easier to get them. If you use a lower-grit nail file, you will file your nails with all your strength and make your edges of nails damaged.

2. Avoid Moving the Nail File Back and Forth.

The nail plate is composed of three layers, with the second layer being the strongest, characterized by longitudinal fibers along the nail plate.Filing back and forth against the nail can lead to the destruction of the fibers at the edge of the nail. In fact, this practice can lead to nail separation and increased nail fragility.

3. Put the Nail File against Your Nail Right Angle.

4. Relax and Do Not File with Your Strength.

Use Nail Sticks to Push Nail Cuticles.

Dead skin often accumulates on the surface of the nail plate near the nail cuticle.

What do you think these dead skins do to your nails?

There are 2 bad things because of dead skins.

First, It sticks to the nail plate and the nail cuticle and pulls skins with the nail plate growing. Therefore, it makes hangnails on the nail cuticle and side wall.

Second, to obstruct dead skins, it’s difficult to grow your nails straight.

I'd like to share two steps to solving these problems.

1. Separate nail plates from nail cuticles.
2. Remove dead skins.

To do this nail care, You should get some tools to do the nail care.

Separate Nail plates from Nail Cuticles Using a Nail Stick.

I recommend using nail sticks, and this tool is safer and easier to push back your nail cuticles.

I suggest pushing back the nail cuticle using a nail stick after taking a bath. Of course, you can use nail cuticle softener instead of a bath or shower.

A softened nail cuticle is easier to separate from nail plates.

To use the nail stick, gently push back your nail cuticles. If your nail cuticles grow too much, do not push back every nail cuticle once, and try it the other day.

Remove Dead Skins Using Gauze.

First of all, do this nail care after taking a bath or using nail cuticle softener.

Softened dead skin is easy to remove from nail plates.

To avoid causing any injuries to the fingers, I recommend using gauze instead of a metal pusher and cuticle nipper to remove dead skin.

Wrapping the thumb in the opposite hand with a twofold or threefold gauze, getting its gauze wet, rub on the nail plate near the nail proximal fold.

The white stuff you're seeing is actually dead skin that's been removed.

If you have persistent dead skins, you might not remove every dead skin just once. By simply repeating this nail care, your nails must become beautiful and healthy.

What’s more, the pink part on the nails will be longer, wider and straighter than previous ones little by little.

Put Cuticle Oil and Hand Cream.

Dryness is the enemy of nails and hands. An easy way to prevent dryness is to use hand cream or cuticle oil. There is no need to use special or dedicated ones. Fortunately, there are a lot of affordable coconut oils in the Philippines. Just one drop for 10 nails is enough but I recommend using it at least 3 times a day. I suggest using cream or body butter after slathering oil.

Push Your Nail Matrix and Nail Side Walls.

Blood carries nutrients throughout the body, but fingers are at the end of the line, far from the heart. That's why it's tough for the blood to reach them.

Giving your fingers a massage can really help with this problem. But It's a hassle to do a full-fledged massage by myself. So my recommendation is simply to push each nail matrix and naik side walls several times gently when slathering cuticle oil on the fingers.

This simple practice encourages healthy and strong nail growth.
