Why is nail hygiene so important?
Before we get into specifics, it’s worth considering why taking care of nails is so important. Nails, like hands, are exposed to various contaminants and bacteria. Dirty nails can lead to infections, inflammations, and even more serious diseases. Did you know that bacteria such as Salmonella or E.coli can accumulate under nails? It’s not only unpleasant but also dangerous. That’s why it’s so important to regularly maintain their cleanliness.
Daily care habits
The first step to well-groomed nails is incorporating a few simple habits into your daily routine. First, regular hand washing. It seems trivial, but it’s so effective! Use warm water and soap, and if necessary, a nail brush. This will remove most contaminants. It’s also important to remember to moisturize your hands. Dry cuticles around the nails can crack, which facilitates the entry of bacteria. Choose creams that absorb quickly and don’t leave a greasy film.
How to effectively clean nails?
When we talk about dirty nails, we often mean dirt under the nail plate. How to deal with it? Here are some proven methods:
1. Nail brush – a basic tool that should be in every bathroom. It gently but effectively removes dirt from under the nails.
2. Soaking in soapy water – warm water with soap helps soften dirt, making it easier to remove.
3. Baking soda – mix a little baking soda with water to create a paste. Then apply it to the nails and gently massage. Baking soda acts as a natural cleaner.
4. Lemon – lemon juice has whitening and disinfecting properties. Just rub it on the nails or soak your hands in it.
Avoid bad habits
We often unknowingly contribute to the deterioration of our nails’ condition. Nail biting, picking at cuticles, or exposing hands to chemicals are just some of the habits worth eliminating. What do you think? Do you find yourself making these mistakes?
Professional care treatments
If, despite home treatments, your nails still leave much to be desired, consider visiting a professional. A salon manicure not only allows for thorough nail cleaning but also nourishment and strengthening. Treatments such as paraffin or regenerative masks can work wonders. What is your opinion on professional treatments? Are they worth investing in?
