do your nails look bad in summer? Here's some tips to keep nails healthy

-

Who doesn’t like to have long, well-groomed nails? Especially at a time when decorative nails and nail arts are trending so much. But amid everything, what we need to keep in mind is that the hot climate calls for extra care to keep our nails healthy.

The world is again witnessing an increase in the number of Covid-19 cases and we need to keep our hands clean and follow all hygiene practices.

Maintaining nail hygiene is also of utmost importance because excessive sweating can lead to the accumulation of fungus causing infections. Many people are not aware of the harmful effects of UV rays on nails, but exposure to the UV rays and saline water can chip the nails.

Tips to keep nails healthy in summers

Summer means more tanning, and to avoid that we tend to wear gloves /socks which can lead to a collection of sweat that is one of the reasons for fungal infections. Nails can harbour such infections more in the hot summer season. We need to keep our hands and feet dry which can help in improving nail health.
Summers also call for activities like gardening, and swimming thus, excessive hand washing can dry our hands, requiring regular moisturising. Keep your hands moisturised to have soft glowing hands all through the day. Moisturising also adds a protecting shield against the harsh UV rays.

Excessive dehydration can lead to brittle nails. Keeping our body well hydrated is the key to keeping your nails healthy and keeping the toxins at bay. Drink lots of water and liquids to improve hydration.

Summers can lead to tanning and are one of the reasons that push us to get manicures and pedicures more frequently. These can strip our natural oils which can be avoided by using moisturising lotions, such as argan/coconut/jojoba oil.

Poor nutrition, ageing, and dehydration can make the nails more prone to breakage and infection. To avoid this, keeping nails filed, and trimmed along with having a well-balanced diet high in Omega 3 fatty acids can help maintain healthy and strong nails. Another trick to keep nails healthy during summers is to keep them short as they are easy to maintain and have fewer edges that can be broken.
