Why is Keeping Your Nails Fresh Important?
Let me ask you this question. When you wake up in the morning, do you go outside in your jammies without washing your face, brushing your teeth, doing your hair etc? Hopefully the answer to this is a know. When you go out into the public you want to look presentable and you want to have good hygiene. This is where the nails come around. You don't want a bunch of dirt and grime in them, or for them to be uneven right? Now we can get into how we fix these issues and get your nails into tip-top shape.
Women Care About Your Nails
Don't be fooled now, when I was in middle school I remember caring about so many things but I didn't pay attention to my finger nails at all. That was until I saw one of my friends get called out for his bad finger nails by a good looking girl who was sitting right next to me. From that point on, I knew it was time for shit to change. Women like when you present yourself well, so continue to that by keeping your nails looking good.
Keeping the Grime Out When the Dirt is Visible
This study sums it up pretty well. If you don't take care of your nails, than it's pretty much guaranteed that you have grime, dirt, dead skin cells, etc. under them. There are no real acceptions. I'm not going to share a photo of grimy nails because it is insanitary. You can go look them up if you want to. The first thing you have to do when you are trying to clean up your finger nails is just washing your hands while using dish soap. If the wash itself isn't enough, then you'll move on to the next step. Consider buying a nail brush and/or just use a towel, to try and get into the deep spots in your nails that still have dirt. Once you are done with that step, run your hands in some lukewarm water as will not make your nails dry like hot water will. Don't use cold water because it doesn't eliminate the bacteria as well as lukewarm water does. If the towel is not enough to get out the grime that is deep into the nail, you can use a toothpick or a cuticle stick to try and pick out the grime that is stuck deep within your nails.
A Daily Routine to Keeping Your Nails Clean
The first step to this is just keeping your nails short and keeping them all at the same length. You don't want your nails growing past your finger tip. Generally you want to cut them weekly. Keeping your nails short is also a great way to keep the grime away. The less growth, the less space, the less bacteria. Make sure to check your nails after every shower as it is the best time to cut your nails as they are softened by the water. Next wash your hands and make sure to get soap and water under the nails to eliminate any grime and bacteria under your nails. After that, dry your hands and make sure to do it well to not soften your nails too much. Then put a moisturizer on your hands in nails. You can do this with lotion and just go with some Lubriderm brand that many of you have laying around. But if you want a more efficient moisturizer, you can get yourself some cuticle lotion and use that instead. I would recommend cuticle lotion from Caudalie as it has gone pretty viral this year in cuticle lotion industry.
What Should You do if You Broke a Finger Nail?
The answer is pretty simple really. What you should do is use a nail filer or some nail clippers and shape the nail back to a smooth and symmetrical standing. Then you have to file/clip your nails to the same size as the fixed nail. If the nail is completely torn off, go see a doctor. If you tore parts of the nail till the point where the under-skin is visible and/or your bleeding, then here's what you can do. You can use a nail glue and reattach the broken part of the nail and your body will mend the broken parts back together. If you don't have access to the broken nail, that just clean the wound and put a bandage around it so it can heal. Chances are it grew back in an uneven stature. So just follow the beginning of this paragraph to fix that issue.
Nail Brushes
Nail Brushes typically look like your average paint brush. Once again, if you have soiled hands from something that your doing, such as sports, then it may be helpful to go get yourself one of these brushes as they have the ability to get rid of trapped dirt very efficiently. Make sure that you rinse the brush after every use to ensure that bacteria doesn't get trapped in the brush
How to Strengthen Your Nails
One way to strengthen your nails is to use nail strengthener. Yes this does exist. Apply this and coat your nails weekly as it may contain nylon fibers that help strengthen your nails. Make sure to consume some vitamins. The one that might come to mind to the seasoned looksmaxxers is biotin. Biotin does many good things to your body, but right now I'm going to discuss it's ability to help strengthen your nails. Take 1 milligram capsules and make sure you take 2-3 daily over the course of six months and do not take 2-3 at once. Use increments!
Thank you for reading and I hope this helps ya'll out.
