Nail Health continued... Don't forget to wipe with an alcohol wipe before applying wraps or gel and by making sure you have a slight gap around all the edges of the nail you can get a good watertight seal to make sure no moisture gets underneath. Moisture underneath nail coverings when they begin to lift is a way of encouraging infections so they should be removed and replaced regularly or as soon as lifting is noticed to make sure this doesn't happen. Protect your nails and hands from cleaning products or when working or gardening to prolong your manicure and keep your nails healthy. Don't use your nails as tools 😉 Keep any manicure /pedicure tools and equipment clean and dry and throw away anything which can't be cleaned easily. Don't share tools which can't be cleaned and disinfected. You can use Milton solution as a sterilising solution like for baby's bottles. Alcohol spray, wipes and alcohol gel for hands are all good for disinfecting. Remove any polish, wraps or gels by the correct method, ask me if you're not sure. NO PEELING, SCRAPING OR PICKING PLEASE!! 😊 Your nails are not bananas don't peel your wraps off 🍌🍌🍌 😂😂😂 Acetone free removers are generally thought to dry nails less and products with less toxins also mean we are putting less nasties into our body through our nails and skin. Hope this was useful and helpful 😊😘 xxx Check out my Facebook group for regular nail information and inspiration see linktree above #nailhealth #healthynails #healthystrongnails #nails101 #cuticlehealth #toenailhealth #manitips #cuticleoil #handcream #softhands #brittlenails #drynails #discolourednails #nailinfection #psoriasis (at Portsmouth)

Today I've been reading about nail health again so wanted to give you all some important tips... 😊 There's lots of information online if you need more or post a question below or message me... It's more important to keep the nails healthy, more important than wearing wraps, gel, polish or anything else. If your nails are brittle, dry or damaged you should make sure they're back to a healthy state before wearing anything on them. It's important to keep the nails in good condition by preparing them before your manicures and pedicures and while resting in between. So by gently taking off the dead skin from the nail using an orange wood stick and/or cuticle remover gel. Cuticle cream can be used before to help soften the cuticles and soaking in warm water with a couple of drops of cuticle oil in for 10 minutes is relaxing and is great to do before you prep your nails. Or you can use a specialised foot soak. You could also use a metal cuticle spoon and other tools but NOT if you're diabetic or on blood thinning medications or something similar. Don't trim or cut the cuticle skin (the bit at the bottom of your nail) as this can make it thicker and harder and the cuticle is the bit that protects your growing nail from infections. Any pain, redness, nail or skin abnormalities etc should be checked by your doctor so keep an eye on the nails. There's lots of information about nails on Google with photos and nails are great indicators of our body's health. They can show heart, liver and kidney problems and even indicate diabetes so keep an eye and seek medical advice should you notice anything unusual. It's probably nothing but it's always best to check. Apply cuticle oil often and hand cream, or intensive skin balms if you have a dry skin, eczema or psoriasis, or use the creams prescribed for you.
