Women - Grow Better Nails!
Women always want longer, stronger nails. They ask, why is it so
hard to grow long, strong, gorgeous nails? One reason is that
nails are not alive; they're dead. Nails are really not nails at
all. They are cells that grow under your cuticles and push out
to form flat, hard surfaces that many like to polish.
Here are some do's and don'ts for nails
Don't share nail files. (not even with a relative or friend) All
nail files are porous and trap germs. Keep yours to yourself and
replace them often.
Do choose the correct shoe size. Don't cram your toes into shoes
that are too pointy or too small.
If you do this, your toenails might grow into your skin. Then
you will have in-grown toenails, which can be very painful.
Always keep your toe nails short. If they get too long, and your
shoes are too tight, you can cause more damage.
Be sure your toes do not touch the front of your shoes. An inch
to one and one half inches in front is important. If they touch
the front, they can lift, causing brusing, and if water gets
under, fungus.
Do keep your feet and hands moisturized. Try to moisturize your
hands throughout the day.
Dry nails can crack, peel and become brittle.
Use the best moisturizers you can get. Thick and greasy are
good. Aquaphor Ointment and the copy made by CVS are great.
(This also helps heal and prevent cracked fingers, in the
winter) Also, Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Healing Lotion,
and the copy made by CVS.
Don't go barefoot! Keep your shoes on at all times. The worst
places to go barefoot are public pools, locker rooms and shoe
stores.
Warm, damp places breed fungus and viruses.
Never try on shoes without stockings or socks.
Even though you do all these things, you can still get a fungus.
So, always take off your polish weekly and check your nails.
(fingers and toes)
If you get a nail fungus, it can spread from one toe to another.
It is not dangerous, just painful and ugly.
Sweaty shoes and socks make fungus grow. So change your socks
every day and try to wear a different pair of shoes. Letting
your shoes dry out thoroughly will also help to prevent nail
fungus.
Always treat athlete's foot. There are many over-the-counter
products available today. Powders, creams, lotions.
If you think you have a nail fungus, it might look like: A thick
nail, yellow nails, crumbling nails, or it might be lifted from
the skin.
How should you treat it? Well it takes time. Even the
over-the-counter treatments, like Lotrimin cream, will take
about a year until the nail grows out completely. Some of you
will want a quicker fix. So see your doctor and he/she may
prescribe the new oral medication, Lamisil.
Remember, prevention is still the best. Always wash and dry your
feet and hands thoroughly. Keep your shoes on in public.
If your feet sweat a lot, change your socks twice a day.
