To help keep you nails healthy, read the following tips:
- Use nail polish remover with caution. It can dry the nails and your cuticles. Try not to repair nail enamel every day.
- Watch out for signs of nail infection, including redness, pain or pus. The nail plates are porous and dry quickly. Nail polishes waterproof the nails and cause the skin under them to stay wet longer. This makes them more open to infection. Lighter shades of nail polish help the light get through the nail. (I had a fungus once on one finger and a manicurist told me that. It took a while, but the fungus “grew out”.
- Be careful of some nail products. Some can cause rashes on the fingers or around the eyes since buffing or filing can cause small particles to enter the air. Some of the more damaging products are in nail hardeners.
- We don't recommend applying artificial nails over your own, because they destroy the underlying nail. The chemicals and glue used are dangerous to the body, and are readily absorbed through the damaged nail and nail bed. The use of artificial nails has been known to contribute to the development of fungal infection of the fingernails.
