Beauty At Your Fingertips

Beauty At Your Fingertips If you have nails that are constantly getting broken, make sure that you wear gloves when your hands are in contact with water, as wet nails are more fragile. If you wish, you can polish the nail surface gently with a nail file in order to get an even surface. However, only polish every other month otherwise you risk getting very thin and frail nails. Cuticles sometimes get irritated, which can be very painful. Carefully cut away the torn piece of cuticle with clean nail scissors. Place tubes of hand cream in handy places such as next to the kitchen sink, on the bedside table or close to your favourite armchair. This will help you to remember to apply the cream more often in order to have soft hands. By the way, brittle nails can result from too little calcium in your diet. Calcium is found in milk (3%) and other dairy products such as hard cheese.
