Take a close look at your fingernails. Are they strong and healthy
looking? Or do you see ridges, dents, or areas of unusual color or shape?
Many less than desirable nail conditions can be avoided through proper
fingernail care. Others might indicate an underlying condition that needs
attention.
Here are some dermatologists’ tips for keeping your nails healthy:
Keep nails clean and dry. This prevents bacteria from growing under your
fingernails.
Cut nails straight across. Use sharp nail scissors or clippers. Round
the nails slightly at the tips for maximum strength.
Keep nails shaped and free of snags by filing with an emery board.
Do not bite fingernails or remove the cuticle. Doing so can damage the
nail.
Do not use your nails as a tool, such as opening pop cans.
Wear cotton-lined rubber gloves when washing dishes, cleaning or using
harsh chemicals.
Moisturise daily. Use cuticle oil and hand lotion, and don't forget to
rub the products into your fingernails and cuticles.
Apply a protective layer. Applying a nail hardener might help strengthen
nails.
