5 Steps to Maintaining Healthy Nails and Hair:
1. Keep Your Feet Dry And Clean
This may seem obvious at first, but your feet are unquestionably the most overlooked part of your body. When you get into the tub, I suggest that you start washing your feet thoroughly with warm water and soap, paying special attention to the toes and nails. After you've showered, dry your feet with a cotton towel. Any moisture that remains could attack your nail bed, creating the ideal environment for problems to arise.
2. Keep your nails as thin as possible.
Thickness is another significant feature of healthy nails. You may use hundreds of local remedies on your toes, but if they can't reach your nail, they won't work. You can either make an appointment with a pedicurist to get your nails filed down, or you can do it yourself if you want to save money, but only with a clean and disinfected file to avoid further issues.
3. Homemade remedies should be avoided.
Using simpler approaches, which you can find in your own house, is quite simple and convenient. Things like apple cider vinegar or tea tree oil may work for a short time and produce minor results, but they don't solve the root cause of nail problems in the long run. Most of the time, the root cause is internal, and I've discovered that these "remedies" just make it worse.
4. Socks That Are Lightweight And Breathable
The majority of the time, socks go unnoticed. After all, isn't it just a piece of cloth that you use to cover your foot? That's incorrect. Socks that allow your feet and nails to breathe can make it easier to maintain healthy nails. Wearing polystyrene socks can cause your feet to sweat twice as much. Rather, invest in a nice pair of 100% cotton or linen socks, which are not only better for your feet and nails but also more comfortable.
5. Walking barefoot is not a good idea.
You may be tempted to walk barefoot at the pool or even in your own home. I suggest wearing socks or slippers to avoid coming into direct contact with the bacteria on that particular surface. There are still bacteria left behind, no matter how clean you think the room is, and they replicate quickly. This is particularly true in public places like pools and gym showers, where you should exercise extra caution.
