NATURALTIPS FOR BEAUTIFUL NAILS AND HEALTHY CUTICLES


NATURAL TIPS FOR BEAUTIFUL NAILS AND  HEALTHY CUTICLES


Our nails are made up of keratin while our cuticles are the thin layer of skin near the bottom of the nails where it connects to the finger and they get dry resulting to peeling and flaking, our nails tell a lot about us, it can tell if your healthy, if your clean, dirty, and your personality too.

A woman with beautiful nails is greatly admired, so I decided to provide basic tips to help all my lovelies achieve this……….

Simple ways to identify unhealthy nails are:

1.      Discoloration (dark streaks, white streaks, or changes in nail color)

2.      Changes in nail shape (curling or clubbing)

3.      Changes in nail thickness (thickening or thinning)

4.      Nails that become brittle

5.      Nails that are pitted

6.      Bleeding around nails

7.      Swelling or redness around nails

8.      Pain around nails

9.      Nail separating from skin


Most of us don’t realize how simple daily nail care can leave our nails looking gorgeous and even boost our self-esteem.




 DON’T cut your cuticles!

Over the years, one consistent mistake that most folks and even professional manicurists make is cutting the cuticles during manicures. The myth that cutting the cuticles actually make the nails grow is just a myth. Recent studies have shown that cutting the cuticles exposes the nails to greater risk of infection. It has however advisable to push back the cuticles using a cuticle stick instead of totally cutting it away from the nail.



 Moisturize inside and outside

The place of moisturizing in a nail-care regimen cannot be over-emphasized. Nails are made of keratin; the main component of hair and… horse hooves! As a result of this, they are prone to brittleness and dryness which can only be overcome with an incorporation of water and water-based products in nail-care regimen.



 Avoid rough manicurists

We all know that one manicurist who handles our nails the same way they handle their carpets; hard and rough. Nails are fragile and handling them roughly will only lead to infections.



Steer clear of drying agents

Stay from drying agents which are mostly found in washing detergents, shampoos, and disinfectants. If the use of these products cannot be avoided, the hands should be moisturized with a good moisturizer after the use.



Do not Bite!

The bad habit of biting the nails does not help it grow as more harm is being done to both the fingers and the fingernails. Biting nails could lead to injuries which do not encourage growth of healthy nails.

Always wash your hands with a mild cleansing soap to keep germs away from your hands. Washing your hands has the triple benefit of keeping both your hands, your body and your nails 100% free of harmful germs.



 Trim regularly

Nails are definitely not meant to grow as long as claws. Therefore, trim your nails regularly to keep them from getting caught in objects thereby injuring the finger and causing infections.



Eat healthy

Always eat healthy. Foods like beetroots, watermelons, cucumbers, and all biotin foods are essential in the growth of healthy nails and cuticles. Drink lots of water and stay away from carbonated drinks, alcohol and nicotine which are harmful to the overall wellbeing of the body.



 Use less nail polish

It is advisable to stay away from nail polish and give the nails a break. The base chemical for nail polish is acetone which is drying and debilitating to the maintenance of healthy nails.



Nail cream
The use of nail creams is becoming increasingly popular in nail care regimen. The nail creams help the nails to grow stronger and healthier with just the right amount of moisture. Nail creams can be bought over the counter at beauty cosmetics stores.

Remember an impeccable and beautiful nail is possible, now you know the trick and all you can do in order to have the perfect nails.



Good luck!!!!!!

To get a firmer and wrinkle free face and body ........TRY THESE....

  2. Use a good moisturizer for the face and body  such as (fine almond oil)
  3. Get enough sleep, you know what they say ''beauty sleep is the best remedy for a finer woman'', so sleep at least good 8 hours daily.
  4. Plan and follow a good diet plan, make sure it include s foods and fruit you enjoy
  5. Use natural facial forming mask such as;

            OTHER TIPS
  1. Apply sunscreen-  most colored women believe that the sunscreen is majorly for the white however, all products have been re-defined so you just have to check for the one that suits your skin whether you have normal, oily or combination skin type such products do exist .I will also recommend you use a moisturizer that has sunscreen embedded in it,such as Atzen glyco5  http://www.atzen.com/glyco5.html .

BEST AT HOME SPA TREATMENT...

Hello Beauties,
i feel i have to start my post with an apology to all my followers, i have  been so busy being a banker and my blogging has been slow,but im gonna make it up to you with newer,better tips that will leave you wanting more...#KISSES
 
My new post is going to give you the simplest ingredients to make yourself feel as relax as being in a spa,only this time you relax at the comfort of your home, bathtub, or even a penthouse..,lol! i stumbled across this remedy and gave it a try(extremely relaxing) it soothes your skin,both facial and body it also gives you a relaxing glow...doing this just  once a week (although i would recommend at the weekend),  it will help you retain your innermost and outer beauty..All the best!

  • I recommend this mixture of Rosewater (of any product) + Coconut Oil , you use this fusion for a relaxing bath.
  • Honey + Olive oil, this mix will help keep your skin moisturized and give it a good balance.
  •  For those of us that love to have a glowing face all seasons ,try this blend of Honey+Brown sugar use as a facial scrub at least 3 times a week.
  • I particularly hate my dark lips i always wish they were a bit more pinkish so i have tried several
    natural remedies that seem to work, however this is my newest tip and it seem to be working real good, blend  Petroleum jelly+Raw sugar as a lip scrub do this (if possible) every night before bed and you will be impressed with the results.
EXTRA TIP
To make the best brown sugar scrub all by yourself all you  need is;
Raw brown sugar+Olive oil+Fragrance (preferably mild one with flower scent)+Container.
Brown sugar scrub has so many benefits to mention a few,daily use of scrub will help repair aging skin, its an excellent skin exfoliate, and the last one is for those of us who try really hard to avoid the sun but cant its the best cure to sun damage on the skin,it keep the skin hydrated and smooth.

Good luck !please remember to send in your experiences .
