DO'S
1. Wear rubber gloves when washing dishes; and cotton gloves while doing housework, cleaning, or gardening.
2. Use a cuticle remover before taking a shower or washing your hair.
3. Use an enamel remover every two weeks, rather than weekly.
4. Use a very soft nail brush every night, and right after enamel removal.
5. Use a nail oil once or twice a day, and invest in a good hand lotion.
6. Use a knife to open packages.
7. Use the side of your forefinger to open car doors, not your fingertips!
Tip: Head to your local health store and pick up a Hair, Skin, & Nails growth supplement. These products help in promoting growth and strength for brittle and thin nails.
DON'TS
1. Don't use a remover with oil in it.
2. Don't pick your nails to clean them, use a nail brush and nail oil instead.
3. Don't file on the sides of your nails, this makes them more prone to breaking.
4. Don't use your nails as tools.
5. Don't bite or chew on them either, to nix the habit, keep a polish on at all times.
6. Don't forget to invest in a good clear polish that encourages growth and strength, apply this each night.
7. Don't neglect your nails! Healthy looking nails add a lot to your physical hygiene appearance. Keep them clean and groomed!
