Beautiful nails say at lot about a person. They say to the world, I take care of myself and I’m worth it. Many of us mothers don’t have the time for spa visits and manicures, but we should make time.
If you can’t, that’s no reason for you to go around with your nails looking rough. If the eyes are the windows to our soul, the nails are the beautiful bushes on the front lawn. Let’s get some curb appeal.
Polish your nails, even if it’s just with clear polish. It will help protect your nails and you will feel more put together just knowing that you have the clear polish on.
Avoid polish removers with acetone. Acetone polish removers will completely dry out your nails.
Keep nails hydrated. Rub a small amount of Vaseline (or Olive Oil if you prefer) into your cuticle and nails every night before bed. So simple, but it works awesome.
Dry your hands for at least two minutes. After doing the dishes, taking a bath/shower, always dry your nails completely. Damp nails increase your risk of fungal infection. Ewww!
Wear rubbers! Just like your mama always told you. Most chores around the house, gardening, scrubbing toilets and washing dishes, are terrible on nails. Chemical cleaners will wreak havoc on your nails. Do yourself a favor and cover them with vinyl gloves. Or if you have the ability, hire a maid. Your nails will thank you.
Drink a glass of milk. Rich in zinc, milk will do wonders for your nails and it’s great for your bones and teeth. Milk is the wonder food.
