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.
