3 ways to keep your nails healthy

When it comes to our finger nails, we are all guilty of doing things that we shouldn't with them. This can include chewing on them, cutting them until they are too short or simply neglecting them completely as an important part of our beauty care regimens. The truth is, just like any other part of the body, your finger nails need to be cared for in order to keep them as healthy and attractive as possible. Nobody wants nails that look unruly or not hygienic, which is why you should be more diligent about them the next time you go out for a manicure or are just taking care of them in the bathroom.

Here are a few tips for keeping your nails healthy:

• Avoid overwashing your hands: While it is essential to keep your hands clean when you are out and about, you should not wash them too frequently. This will result in nails that are dried out and can break easily. If you do wash your hands a lot, be sure to compensate with a moisturizer.
• Don't cut the cuticle: Whether you are taking care of your nails on your own or having them looked at professionally, it's essential that the cuticle is not broken or otherwise manipulated. This is the barrier between your fingers and outside bacteria and the protection will be lost if it is altered.
• Moisturize regularly: Like your skin, one of the best ways to keep your nails healthy and beautiful is by making sure that they are moisturized on a regular basis. Putting oils around the cuticle will make sure that it spreads to the entire nail, which can help if yours are prone to breakage.
