How to take care of hands and feet?Care of hands and nails![]() It has been told that hands reveal a lot about us. They reflect our age, health but also care of ourselves. Most of people notice your hands and nails at first sight. Therefore we should always keep our hands and nails clean and neat. We provide here a few tips how to reach beautiful and healthy hands and nails. Cutting and shaping of fingernailsFingernails should be cut only if they are too long. Otherwise, you can shorten your nails with the aid of a glass nail file which treats them very gently. It is important to keep the correct direction of filing. File your nails from the outside towards the centre, do not go back and forth because this way you could cause chipping and splitting of fingernails. Do not use sapphire or paper files that file too rough and damage your nails. You should use a chemically etched glass nails file that has regularly formed grinding elements. Thanks to this your fingernails will be perfectly smooth after the treatment. Do not cut the cuticleDo not cut the cuticle off – you could hurt yourself. The right way is to push it back to the nail bed after shower or bath when the cuticle is soft. For this procedure you should try our glass manicure stick that has the ends adjusted for gentle cuticle treatment. Pay attention to vitaminsBesides the regular care of your nails you should also pay attention to the sufficient intake of vitamins, especially zinc that is contained in eggs, milk or legumes. The lack of zinc causes white spots on your nails. Vitamin H is also important for your beautiful nails. It prevents nails from chipping and brittleness. It is contained in livers, kidneys, yolks and yeast. MoisturizingAvoid drying out of hands and nails and keep them hydrated. Place a moisturizing cream for hands wherever you spend time (at home, at work, in the car, etc.) and try to moisturize your hands regularly. Skin on your hands will be soft and smooth. Massage your nails and cuticles around with a petroleum jelly or a greasy cream. When applying a cream, pamper yourself with a massage of fingertips. This will improve blood circulation in the nail bed and enhance growth of your nails. Avoid chemicalsChoose only nail polish removers which do not contain acetone or dimethyl ketone and formaldehyde. These substances dry out your nails and cause their weakening and chipping. Pick a mild nail polish remover on base of acetate. While cleaning wear gloves to protect your hands and nails from chemical substances that damage and weaken them. Nails painting![]() Firstly, it is very important to free your nails of any greasy residues or dust. Start applying a clear base coat that will form a barrier between your vulnerable fingernail and the colour you are about to put on. The clear base coat also makes your nails stronger. Then apply a drop of colour nail polish on the middle of your nail. Carefully brush a little of the colour towards your cuticles. Leave a tiny space between the polish and your cuticles to optically lengthen a short nail bed. Evenly paint stripes of colour from your nail bed upwards to the tip of your nail. Repeat on both sides until your nail is fully covered. Let it dry really well and if needed add another layer of nail polish. When this layer is completely dry, make sure you apply a top coat to increase the shine and durability of your nail polish. Care of feet![]() Feet belong to the most abused and often used parts of the body and that is why they deserve your attention. If you do not have time for professional care, try to pamper your feet with a perfect home pedicure. It does not take more than 30 minutes! How to do pedicure at home?
