Nails are dead cells but similar to your hair, they need pampering; they can also be trimmed and colored in different ways. And they must also be taken cared of just like the rest of your body. Jing Pastrana, Assistant Marketing Manager of California Advanced Nail and Skin Care (CANS) says, “we must protect every part of our body including our nails, so don’t use them as a screwdriver or a can opener”.
Chipped off and dirty nails are plainly unimaginable. They reflect the way you mistreat yourself. You may feel glamorous wearing a classy dress and a posh pair of sandals, but with nails not properly trimmed and cleaned—you will definitely lose your confidence. Remember when meeting people, we shake hands; when saying goodbye, we wave them; and in cluttering our high heels, our feet helplessly attract attention. These are how often we let others see how nice or ugly our nails are. Or do you intend to sport gloves and closed shoes all the time in the heat of this tropic country we live in?
Dealing with your nails is not always costly and time-consuming. With some advice from CANS, here are easy-to-do nail care tips to help you keep up with your fashion in the most fabulous sense:
Avoid biting your nails. It is not a healthy way of keeping your nails short
If you find it hard to maintain your nails, just at least cut them regularly; or else seek help from an expert who would professionally get them done for you.
Ingrown is natural. The growth of your nails is dependent on the shape of the cut. Avoid oval or round cut. The best option is the straight or square cut so that when your nails started to grow they wouldn’t disturb the flesh around them.
Instead of the pink malodorous liquid, just use a do-it-yourself mixture of shampoo and water which is a proven effective cuticle softener.
Say “goodbye” to metal pusher and say “hi” to orange wood stick which is much safer to utilize and is highly recommended for those who have sensitive skin around the nails
In using a pusher, never scrape your nails. Simply push the cuticle aside.
It doesn’t matter if the nail polish is P20 or P200. Sometimes it is just really the brand that we are paying for. But how do you choose the perfect color for your nails? You don’t actually have to base it on your skin tone. Though if you are the type who wants everything matched up, you may ask a nail technician for suggestions and he will surely be glad to be at your utmost service. While a bride would always go for a French manicure or any pastel color that perfectly complements her gown, it wouldn’t hurt to try something new if you are a little adventurous.
A dark-colored nail polish makes your nails yellowish. But don’t worry too much because the discoloration is normal and is not really dangerous to your health. All you need to do is to rest your nails a bit before putting on a new color. However, if you really love to color your nails regularly and you can’t wait to put on a polish, you may do so but don’t forget to apply a base coat before anything else and a top coat for the final touch.
Nail care should never be painful. If you will go to a salon, always instruct first the nail technician on the manner you want your nails to be treated
