Nails Care:

Healthy nails are as important as healthy skin and body. The color of your nails indicates your general health. Nails are a part of your body too so good care should be taken of them. Some of the tips on how to take care of your nails are as follows:

• Healthy nails are transparent and look pink in color as a result of blood circulation beneath them. If you wear nail polish on a regular basis then they should be removed for a day or two in every week, in order to let allow the nails to breath.
• To add shine to your nails, coconut oil or warm castor oil can be massaged on to them. If you do not like nail polish then dry soap can be applied to your nail and buff or lemon peel for a similar result.
• Dip a cotton-tipped scrub in hydrogen peroxide to clean under the nails and whiten them even more. Before giving yourself a manicure, your nails should be dipped in a cup of warm water with one tablespoon of lemon juice. Put your fingertips in a half cut lemon and twist your finger back and forth to clean the cuticles and interior of the nails.
