Healthy Nails



Biotin supplements are sure to keep your nails thicker and healthier. Not only does this supplement promote healthy, strong nails, but it also promotes healthy hair growth as well. Additionally, you will want to make sure to load up on iron and zinc. These minerals play a strong roll in strengthening your nails. You can find healthy nail-promoting nutrients in foods such as beans, legumes, and whole grains. Furthermore, it’s important to take good care of your cuticles. Abandoning your cuticles can lead to nail infections which have the potential of becoming relatively severe. When cuticles begin to show, they should never be removed. Instead, they should be pushed back into your toes or fingers. This process is easier and much less painful if your toes and fingers are well moisturized. Lastly, and this can’t be stressed enough, you must clean all of your manicure and pedicure tools after every use! This is especially the case if you share nail tools with someone else. Using unclean tools can lead to serious infections and fungus growth. Assumedly, this is the polar opposite to the look you are trying to achieve for your fingers and toes.
