TIPS FOR HEALTHY NAILS

Nails reflect our overall health, which is why proper nail care is so important. Here are dermatologists’ tips for keeping your nails healthy:

Keep nails clean and dry.

Cut nails straight across. Use sharp nail scissors or clippers. Round the nails slightly at the tips for maximum strength.

Keep nails shaped and free of snags by filing with an emery board.

Do not bite fingernails or remove the cuticle. Doing so can damage the nail.

Do not use your nails as a tool, such as opening pop cans.

Trim toenails regularly. Keeping them short will minimize the risk of trauma and injury.

When toenails are thick and difficult to cut, soak your feet in warm saltwater. Mix one teaspoon of salt per pint of water and soak for 5 to 10 minutes.

Avoid “digging out” ingrown toenails, especially if they are infected and sore. If you are suffering from an ingrown toenail, see a dermatologist for treatment.

Wear shoes that fit properly. Also, alternate which pair of shoes you wear each day.

Wear flip-flops at the pool and in public showers. This reduces the risk of infections caused by a fungus that can get in your toenails.

If your nails change, swell, or cause pain, see your dermatologist because these can be signs of serious nail problems. If you have diabetes or poor circulation, it’s especially important to seek treatment for any nail problems. If you have questions or concerns about caring for your nails, see a board-certified dermatologist.

  • Be gentle on your nails.

Your nails are delicate, so treat them that way. Avoid using metal tools under nails, as too much digging can cause the nail plate to separate from the skin (a condition called onycholysis), common for people over 50, says Dr. Stern. Cleaning with chemicals and washing dishes by hand can also weaken nails. Guard them by wearing rubber, vinyl, nitrile, or plastic gloves, says New York City dermatologist Janet Prystowsky, M.D., Ph.D.

 

  • Clip your nails regularly.

Consistent trims are as important to your nails as they are to your hair, says Dr. Prystowsky, and make nails less prone to snags and breakage. So aim to clip them every two weeks, adjusting frequency as needed once you see how your nails respond.

Get rid of wrinkles

Wrinkles are a result of aging skin and volume loss and are completely natural. The skin becomes thinner over time due to the lower production of collagen and elastin proteins. This slowdown also causes the skin to become less resistant to damage.

There are some things a person can do at home to minimize the risk of developing wrinkles or help reverse the signs of aging.

  • Daily skin care

Regularly moisturizing the skin can prevent dryness, decreasing the chance of wrinkles forming. It is important to use skin care products that match the skin’s needs and to introduce one product at a time.

Using too many products on the skin, especially more than one anti-aging product can irritate the skin, which can make signs of aging more noticeable. Most products take a few weeks to work.
