Cleansers to Balance the Skin

Ever wondered why it’s hard to get strong healthy nails? It’s because nails aren’t alive – living tissue can repair itself, and it can do so without any help from us. Despite the fact nails are not alive they grow, or so we think. In fact they don’t actually grow - they appear to when new cells develop under the cuticles pushing out the older dead ones. That’s what forms those hard, flat surfaces we love to pamper and polish.

How to Keep Nails Looking Their Best

Ways to keep our nails looking their best include moisturizing them daily, since dry nails are prone to brittleness, cracking and peeling. Dehydrated nails not only look scruffy and ragged, but can get painful or infected, so choose a rich replenishing moisturizer.
Buffing the nails can help prevent them from splitting and peeling. The cells on nails grown in a slanted direction from cuticle to tip, and pushing them in the wrong direction thins the protective outer layer, causing nails to fissure. To remove the outermost peeling layer use a file to lightly buff the surface in one direction cuticle to tip. To stop them from splitting try not to put pressure on nails from the tip down and keep the area hydrated.
The best time to apply moisturizer is after a bath while skin is still damp. Rub oil into and under nails then top off with a barrier of moisturizer.
