Placing nails, the overgrown cuticle and peeling varnish indicate that the girl most likely lacks elementary knowledge to learn to care for nails. This is fixable. Let's look at the basic rules for hand and nail care.

Nail care rules

First you need to pay attention to the condition of the skin.

These recommendations will help you always have impeccable skin:

1. Wash your hands not with warm water, although this gives you pleasure, but at room temperature. Cold water will contribute to the coarse of the skin, and hot water will degrease it and the skin will begin to peel off.
2. When you do cleaning in the house, wash the dishes, wash or work in the garden, do not forget about gloves. They will protect the delicate skin of the hands from the harmful effects of chemicals and other negative factors.
3. Wash your hands with gel or toilet soap. Do not return to the past and use household soap, even if it “kills” bacteria.
4. After contact with the liquid, try to wash your hands and wipe them thoroughly. Such a simple action will protect you from the appearance of burrs.
5. Do not forget to give your pens for two minutes in the morning and in the evening - do massage and grease the skin.

It is necessary to learn how to properly care not only for the skin, but also for nails. Modern cosmetology does not stand still, and today it is ready to offer you a lot of new and effective tools for nail care and hands. You can purchase a skin care complex and nails, but, unfortunately, not everyone can afford it.

We offer an alternative option - use these recommendations and then your nails will always be in excellent condition:

• eat in a balanced! The metabolism of each person depends on how he eats. If there are many fruits and vegetables, then the nails will delight you. They will always be strong and shiny. Avoid unnatural products with dyes and food additives, less “lean” on baking and sweets less;
• if you want to have beautiful nails, learn to regularly take care of them - do nutrient masks and massage of the nail plate. Only a few massage movements before bedtime will not take much time, but the blood circulation of the nail will improve;
• throw away varnish remedies containing acetone. This component aggressively affects the condition of the nail plate, overdles it and weakens it. In addition, pamper yourself with a good good nail polish from a trusted manufacturer. In an inexpensive varnish, all the same acetone may be present. It is better to buy one bottle of high -quality varnish than many cheap and low -quality;
• remember how beautiful and strong your nails became after rest at sea? Do not forget to delight your nails with a bath with salt. You can do this procedure once a week;

Try to lubricate the nail plate with iodine every evening before going to bed. They will acquire a light yellowish tint, but it is not scary. After a few days, everything will pass.
2. The bath for caring for nails with gelatin perfectly strengthens and nourishes the nail plate. Take half a teaspoon of gelatin and dissolve it in a glass of hot water. As soon as the mixture begins to cool, lower your arms into the bath for 10 minutes. After - rinse the gelatin with warm water. This procedure can be done several times a week.
3. Oil bath. Take a quarter of a glass of any vegetable oil (the ideal option is olive) and the same amount of apple cider vinegar. In a separate container, heat the oil and combine with vinegar.

Such a bath can be done every three days.

We make a manicure on our own

Beauty salons offer us several types of nail care: a classic wiped, hardware, “dry” manicure, Japanese, French, spa and many others. Regardless of the name of the manicure, professional nail care can have two directions: “dry” and “wet”. The first manicure has two names - hardware and unreasonable. In this case, the cuticle and the fenced layer of the skin are removed using a special apparatus - milling cutter and auxiliary tools - buff and files.

Uneduced manicure, it is Japanese, consists in the fact that at first the cuticle is softened by a means containing acid, and then it is pushed by a stick from an orange tree, and the keratinized layer is removed by a millzer.

Classic manicure, it is also “wet” or overwhelming - a traditional type of nail care. It consists in the fact that first the cuticle is softened in a bath with a warm soap solution, and then cut off with manicure tools.

Such manipulations can be performed independently. Home nail care consists of two stages: nail care and manicure.

For self -care for nails, it is necessary to purchase an individual set for nail care.

It should include such tools and materials:

• scissors;
• pitch tongs;
• coarse -grained "sand" file;
• polishing saw;
• several sticks made of orange wood;
• alcohol or other disinfection;
• cotton wheels;
• cutting agent for softening;
• nail care oil.

In the process of processing the nail plate with cutting tools, cuts are possible. To disinfect the wound, use a cotton pad and a disinfectant containing alcohol. Also do not forget to wipe all the tools after each procedure. No need to share your manicure supplies with friends and relatives. Tools for manicure should be individual.
How to make a manicure yourself:

1. Before starting the manicure, you should prepare the tools and thoroughly wipe them with alcohol.
2. If traces of the old varnish are left on the nails - using a cotton pad and liquid to relieve varnish (without acetone), remove the varnish.
3. With a file, give the nail the desired shape. To prevent relaxation of the nail, move in one direction.
4. Apply a softening agent to the cuticle and wait 2 minutes. You can soften the skin in a warm soap bath. Add a couple of drops of any essential oil to the soap solution.
5. Take the orange tree and gently push the skin near the nail. Masters of manicure are not advised to cut the cuticle with scissors so as not to provoke its growth. In addition, if you often cut the cuticle, it will become denser.
6. Remove the burrs with nippers, and treat the skin in the cut site with alcohol.
7. It remains to apply varnish. First, the nail plate is covered with the base, and then with colored varnish.
8. So that the varnish lasts longer - a fixer is applied on top of the color coating.

Failure care

In addition to caring for nails on the hands, you need to learn how to care the nails of the legs. Not every girl knows how to properly care for nails and cuticle on her legs. These recommendations will help you attract the views of the opposite sex to your well -groomed legs.

How to care for nails:

1. Every day you need to perform this procedure: wash your legs and remove dirt that has accumulated under the nails. It is advisable to wash the legs not in simple water, but with the addition of a decoction of herbs (chamomile, thyme or mint). If there is no time to mess with the brewing of the grass, then you can wash your feet well with soap and soap.
2. The resulting pollution from under the nails is removed with a special stick (for example, from an orange tree).
3. The nails on the legs are cut not like on the hands, but in a straight line. This will prevent a fairly common problem of ingrown nail.
4. It is also necessary to file nails on the legs in only one direction - from the center to one edge, and then to the other.
5. You can not use metal files - they contribute to the destruction of the structure of the nail.

If you do everything right, and the nails on the legs still lay, break off and turn yellow, pay attention to your shoes. If you wear cramped and poor -quality shoes in which your leg swears, then all your efforts to care your nails can be in vain.

Nursing nails

The nail extension service is provided in each beauty salon. Increasingly, you can meet girls with long artificial nails. The popularity of extended nails is due, first of all, by saving time and high -quality coating, which will remain unchanged for three weeks. But this does not mean that an artificial coating does not need to be careful. On the contrary, such nails also need care.

Let's get acquainted with the rules of care:

1. Since artificial nails are much stronger than natural ones, you need to be careful when handling bulky objects. The artificial nail is firmly attached to the natural nail plate, so if it breaks down, it will be very painful.
2. Exclude contact with aggressive means.
3. Use polishing and special files in nail care. It is better to refuse cutting tools.
4. The cuticle is lubricated with softening creams and rubbed nutrient oils.
5. Trust your pens to professionals.

How to care for the nails of a child

Children's nails also require attention, and nail care is to regularly cut the free edge. To accustom the baby from an early age to care of the nails, you need to cut the overgrown nails every week and only individual devices.

The children's manicure set includes the following tools:

1. Small nail tongs to cut the free part of the nail.
2. Scissors with rounded ends and protective tips. They round the edges after the forceps and the burrs are cut off.
3. A soft file to smooth out the uneven edges after circumcision.

When caring for the nails of children, it is not necessary to cut the cuticle, so as not to deform the nail plate. It is desirable to cut overgrown nails after bathing when the plate becomes softer. Before you go to the bathroom, treat manicure accessories with an antiseptic.

How to properly care for nails:

1. Cut the nails with tweezers or nippers with an even cut.
2. Cut the remaining corners along the edges with scissors.
