- Nails & Cuticles - Eight
Care Tips
- By: Mike Jones
1. Healthy looking nails should be smooth, curved,
void of any spotting, and should not have any hollows or ridges.
2. Make sure your nails are completely dry before
you file them.
3. Shape your nails with a fine emery board, do
not use any type of metal file.

4. When filing, try to keep the shape
of your nails oval not pointed, thus making the nails less susceptible
to breakage.
5. The cuticle acts as a seal between
the finger and the nail. Gently exfoliating the dry, rough, cuticle
skin layers by actually sloughing off the dead outer layers exposes
new and vibrant skin.
6. This new healthy skin protects the
nails matrix which is the growth center of the nail and should
be treated with care. |

7. Don't over manicure your cuticles.
Over-grooming the cuticle damages the cuticle and causes it to
thicken and overgrow.
8. Never use metal or sharp instruments
on your cuticles. |
