Nail Care inspections...

Have a close look at your nails: look out for signs of nail infection like redness, pain, swelling around the nails or pus.

Make sure to let your nails get lots of fresh air and lots of light. this prevents nail fungus to grow: as we all know: fungus likes to grow in warm, dark and wet places.

The plates of your nails are porous so the skin underneath can dry quickly. Nail polishes make your nails "waterproofed". The skin under your nails stay wet longer and makes it more easy for nail fungus infection.

Lighter shades of nail polish help the light get through the nail: again: nail fungus don't like light.

5 Nail care tips (1)

To help keep you nails healthy, I will post a series of 5 nail care tips.

Nail Polish remover

Use nail polish remover with caution. Nail polish remover can dry the nails and your cuticles. Neither try not to repair nail enamel every day. After using nail polish remover, apply nail cream abundantly. I personally don't use special nail cream, I always use Skin Repair (Dry Skin Cream) from Rosken.
