Keep your fingernails dry and clean
Clean your nails regularly and make sure you dry them after washing.
This also prevents dirt and bacteria from accumulating under your nails.
However, don’t overdo it; nails soaked in water for long duration may lead to
splits.
Tame your cuticles
Cuticles are very delicate and get ruptured easily. Taking good care of your
cuticles is a crucial part of nail care. If you have hanging skin or nail,
handle it carefully trim it gently so that it doesn’t stick out or cause more
pain. Do not bite or pick the cuticles.
Avoid Gel and Acrylics
Gels and acrylics are no doubt super pretty but sadly cause immense damage to
the nails. Avoid them entirely, if possible. The acrylic powder contains a lot
of chemicals and roughens the nails and causes dents in them. The drying
mechanism in gel manicures causes harm to the skin around your nails.
