Brittle nails? These easy tips will help give them strenght and shine
There’s nothing worse than nails that are so weak they break ALL the time.
If you want long and strong nails, it’s time to start taking better care of them. Just like the rest of your body, your nails require tender, loving care so you should never just ignore them.
Boost your protein
Protein is a building block for your nails, so make sure to add a lot of protein into your diet. Lean meats, eggs, and low-fat dairy foods are a great way to pump up the amount of protein you intake.
Nail oils
This is another thing you should be doing everyday. Simply rub a bit of nourishing oil into your nails and cuticles for about 60 seconds every morning and night.
Exercise
Exercise boosts your circulation throughout your body. That translates to better blood flow to your nails, which means a better flow of nutrients that your nails need for good health.
Filing
File your nails once every two weeks. Not only does it prevent snags and ingrown nails, it helps to keep them healthy and in shape.
Never peel your nail polish
This can actually take the top layers of your nail with it, which makes them thin and weak. That means way more breakage down the road. ALWAYS use a nail polish remover or if you have gel nails, make sure to go to a professional to take them off.
