Manicure tips for your nails
Here are some manicure Do’s and Don’ts for your nails.
DON’T use nail polish remover that is Acetone Based.
It strips away the natural oils that help keep nails flexible.
DO use Acetone Free nail polish remover instead; it’s much gentler on your nails.
DON’T cut your cuticles.
You would be cutting away protection against bacteria that causes infection.
DO soak your nails in warm water and gently push the cuticles back. If you have hard or ragged cuticles take it a step further and use some kind of cuticle treatment.
DON’T file your nails in a back and forth motion.
This sawing motion can cause a split and weaken nails.
DO file in one direction and use a softer emery board.
This next one I found interesting
DON’T use nail polish that contains Formaldehyde and Toluene.
It has been found that Formaldehyde can cause squamous cell cancer in the nostril from repeated inhalation. Toluene can cause skin irritation and respiratory irritation.
DO start buying nail polish that is Formaldehyde and Toluene Free.
