Our nails to
a great extent are affected by our
diet and also the way we handle them. Nails often get weaker with age but
external factors such as exposure to harsh chemicals or water can cause them to
be brittle and break easily.
There are however home treatments which are helpful in strengthening and beautifying nails.
MILK
Milk acts as a natural cleansing agent. Fill a bowl with milk and soak your nails in it for 10 -15min. This make them more beautiful.
OLIVE OIL
Olive oil
moisturizes nails and is a natural remedy for strengthening weak nails.
Warm ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil
over low heat and soak fingers in it for 5min daily for best results. Do not
allow the oil to come to a boil and test the temperature before using to
prevent injury.
BIOTIN
Biotin is a
B complex vitamin also known as vitamin H or vitamin B7 which may increase nail
thickness and strength. Foods rich in biotin include bananas, milk, eggs,
carrots, almonds and cucumber.
Also a daily
intake of biotin supplements are also helpful.
VASELINE
Vaseline
protects nails from excess moisture loss in dry weather and also moisturizes
nails. Take little Vaseline and apply over nails then massage. Do this after
taking a shower in the morning and before going to bed at night. This
strengthens nails and keeps them shiny.
