Prevention of Nail Problems



Nails are basically made up of dead keratin tissues containing fat and water. They are non-organic and do not conduct any function. But they are prone to several problems such as turning brittle, deformed, or getting exposed to various infections such as fungus or algae.There are various problems pertaining to the nail plate. Some of them are as follows:
Brittle nail is a common problem that is caused by the loss of fat and water, which in turn splits the cells thus making the nail brittle and frail. To overcome this problem, there are a number of remedies. It is safer to wear gloves or use a long handled mop to prevent your hands from dipping into the water. To avoid dehydration effect do not use nail remover often. Just apply a single coat of nail polish to avoid using remover often. Massage the base of the nail plate with a cream.
A hangnail is a problem that is caused due to a tear in the cuticle or in the nail folds. These cuticles usually have a tendency to stick to the nail plate and when the nails grow the stretched part eventually tears. So constantly massage the cuticles to keep them soft. Sometimes you may face the problem of nail fold cracks. Do not pull off the splinter as it can cause infection to the nail folds. If your toe nails are not properly cut they lead to growing-toe problems. They penetrate into the nailfold thus leading to swelling. So always keep the nails in proper shape but do not cut them too short. Do not cut them from the side.
Fungal infection is also a very happening illness of the nails. Your nails are bound to look very disorderly, as they grow thick, broken and discolored. They can be treated with griseofulvin and ketoconazole for milder forms of illnesses. If it is a severe form then approach a doctor.

FAST FACTS:
Anti-oxidants are found in many different ingredients such as Vitamin A, C, and E. An anti-oxidant is a molecule that can give up an electron. When a molecule is oxidized (i.e. a free radical) it has lost an electron and needs to get one back. Because we use our electrons for energy, we need to have other sources available to combat oxidization. Having an abundance of spare electrons helps protect cells and delay the aging process.

Get Faster, Stronger Finger Nails Using Lemon Juice


Many women have a hard time growing strong, long finger nails and treating hang nails. I know most of us have even tried over-the-counter nail growth pills and nail vitamins. I am also sure you have tried those nail crèmes and nail strengthen nail polishes as well. Truth of the matter is none of those products work and you are just wasting your money on useless products.
If you are trying to grow healthy long strong finger nails and heal hang nails you need a high source of vitamin C. The best way of getting vitamin c directly into your finger nails is by squeezing a whole lemon getting all the juices out of it and putting the juices of the lemon into a warm bowl of water. After you have done that, you will then need to place your finger nails into the warm bowl of lemon water for twenty minutes to allow your nails to absorb the vitamin C. Now while your fingers are soaking in the warm water it will soften your hang nails and allow them to heal faster and better. You will need to soak your finger nails in warm lemon water every night until you have achieved the strength of the finger nail and length you would like to have.
Now to maintain long healthy finger nails you will need to trim them and file rough edges of your finger nails twice a week and trim the ones that need to be trimmed a little. By trimming and filing your nails you will keep hang nails away and will be able to shape your nails to the shape you want them to be. I would recommend you to also keep your finger nails clean and not paint them with nail polish unless you have a special event because the chemicals from the nail polish are not good for you or your nails.
You now know how to grow long beautifully healthy nails without spending tons of money and using useless finger nail products. Now that you know my little nail growing secret by using the juice of a lemon, you can now go out and buy yourself a great cup of cof
fee with the few bucks you have saved from not buying nail care products that don't work. Here is one more nail tip secret before I end the article, if you don't have a lemon you can use an orange, lime, or grapefruit. Good luck to all you finger nail growers and I hope these tips help you a bit!
