Nuture your Nails

Our nails get much more exposure in the summer months, with the fashion for sandals toenails are on display and the trend for brighter nail varnish means you are drawing more attention to your fingernails.

With our busy lifestyles, we do not have a lot of time to spend on our nails but at the same time, neat nails add to a clean and professional appearance.

The good news is there are lots of things you can do to help the health of your nails without spending a lot of money:

Diet

Eat plenty of protein rich foods such as lean red meat, poultry, eggs, fish (especially salmon), low-fat dairy products, liver, pulses, nuts, seeds and soya.

Cream

Use a rich hand and nail cream to stregthen nails and sooth dry, chapped hands.

I absolutely love Taer Icelandic Nourishing Hand and Nail Cream.  This luscious 50ml hand cream boasts the powers of potent Icelandic  herbs including organic yarrow, known for its powerful anti-ageing  effects and the specially formulated Taer Calming Complex, an ultra  soothing blend of fennel, mistletoe, lemon balm, allantoin, hops and  Roman chamomile.  If you are looking for a hand and nail cream that is  soothing and streghtens weak nails then Taer Icelandic nourishing hand  and nail cream is ideal and at only £16 is a steal.

Trim

Trim your nails regularly as this strengthens your nails.

Nail Polish Remover

Use as little nail varnish remover as possible and avoid nail varnish removers with acetone. These can dry out nails and weaken them.

Use Rubber Gloves

When doing the dishes, make sure you use rubber gloves.  Apply a rich hand cream first before putting on your rubber gloves, the heat from the warm water will help the cream soak in to give your hands and nails a nourishing treat.



If your nails are weak and brittle, Neostrata Neoceuticals nail conditioning treatment is just the product for you and is available to buy online from The Cosmetic Practice.  At only £15 it instantly begins to transform weak and brittle nails. A breakthrough product that uses a  patented alpha hydroxyacid derivative that works overtime to give nails a  healthy, smooth, chip-resistant surface. Perfect for anyone seeking  beautiful fingernails!
