Your nails, like the rest of your body, thrive best with proper care and attention. Thankfully, achieving and maintaining healthy nails doesn’t require magic—just a few simple changes to your daily routine can make all the difference!
1. Eat healthy.
Consume a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein (like eggs, nuts, leafy greens, and fish) to support nail health.
2. Keep them clean.
Cleaning your nails regularly helps prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi.
3. Hydrate.
Drinking lots of water helps keep your nails hydrated and healthy.
4. Avoid biting and picking.
This habit not only causes damage to your nails and the surrounding skin, but it can also increase the risk of infections.
5. Trim nails regularly.
Keeping them at a healthy length helps prevent weakening of your nails.
6. File gently.
If you regularly file your nails, make sure to avoid rough files that can cause splintering and weakening of the nails.
7. Use nail-friendly polish.
Limit polish use and let your nails breathe by giving them breaks from nail polish occasionally. When you do use nail polish, choose ones that are free from harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl phthalate (DBP).
8. Use a nail serum regularly.
Gently massage a nourishing nail oil, like the VOS Nail and Cuticle Serum, into your nail beds to help improve blood circulation and promote healthy nail growth.
