Health Tips for November 9

Nail Care Tips

• The simplest way to avoid nail damage is to wear gloves.
• If you can't wear gloves, you could at least use a long handled mop-this allows you to keep your hands off water and your nails will definitely benefit.
• If you do get your hands wet, remember to rinse them well and dry them carefully after the work is done. Then apply ample amounts of a moisturizing cream.
• Wear polish. It works as a barrier for your nails and use acetone-free nail polish remover.
• File in one direction only. Filing back and forth is bad because this frays and weakens the nails.
  
• Keep your nails short.
• Manicure after a bath. It is best to do your manicure after a bath because your nails are soft.

You must also take certain other precautions:

• Use a pencil to operate the telephone dial.
• Use a can opener to open cans.
• Use gardening gloves.
• Avoid contact with strong chemicals.
• Use moisturizers liberally.
