Strong and healthy nails for the summer
Broken, yellow, soft or brittle nails? Between the daily use of cleaning products and astringents, the annoying tendency to bite the nails, or even nutritional deficiencies, the nails become fragile. Do you have these types of problems and dream of showing off a perfect manicure? In this article, discover how to take care of your manicure.
As true as health is through food, nail health also depends on our eating habits. An inappropriate lifestyle weakens the body and by extension our nails. Thus, the key to having beautiful and strong nails is to have a diet rich in:
- Iron: liver, lentils, parsley…
- Vitamin D: cod liver oil, herring…
- Zinc: oyster, rye bread…
- Selenium: fish and seafood
- Vitamin B: brewer’s yeast, whole grains, nuts…
Here are some simple steps to take to take care of your manicure. These tips are for those who are fans of nail polish, but also for those whose nails are abused by daily tasks.
The first thing to do is to moisturize your hands and your nails daily. Apply a dab of moisturizer all over and massage in for a few minutes. Pay particular attention to your cuticles. The ideal is to do it before bedtime to allow the cream to penetrate well and deeply nourish your skin and your appendages.
Using a nail file to file your nails gently and always in the same direction, from left to right or from right to left. Round trips risk damaging them. Before cleaning, do not forget to put on gloves to protect your nails from the cleaning products. Your hands will also thank you for sparing them a bath of potentially aggressive products.
Last thing, but not least, let your skin appendages breathe for a day or two between each nail polish application. Too much repeated use weakens the nails, whether due to the varnish itself or to the solvent.
