Beautiful strong nails are a source of pride for anyonewomen. But maintaining healthy nails is not so easy. Ecology, poor nutrition, household chemicals - all this does not contribute to the health of nails. And nail polishes are also not useful, as well as the means for removing it. Under the influence of all these negative factors, nails become dull, exfoliate and brittle. Therefore, nails require care and careful maintenance. And the purpose of this article is to tell you how to strengthen your nails at home. The most important thing in the issue of strengthening nails is prevention. It is very important not only to regularly take vitamin and mineral complexes, but also to limit contact with household chemicals as much as possible - washing powders, cleaning and washing agents. It is best to do housework in rubber gloves, and before putting on gloves, you should lubricate your hands with glycerin or hand cream. Vitamin and mineral complexes must contain calcium, vitamin D, vitamin A, iron and iodine. Of course, you can not buy vitamins, but simply compose a proper diet. You should eat more almonds, dates, figs, dairy products (especially cottage cheese and hard cheeses), fish, meat, carrots and carrot juice, spinach, and fruit. You should also regularly use special medicinal varnishes and creams for nails and cuticles. You can nourish your nails with nail oil, paying special attention to the contour of the nail. Rub the cuticle product into the base of the nail in a circular motion, then push it back with a special stick to soften it. And only then lubricate the nails with oil. Nail-strengthening products contain a variety of components, the main ones being panthenol, allantoin, liposomes, amino acids, keratin, vitamin C, and proteins. Panthenol and allantoin accelerate cuticle regeneration, liposomes accelerate nail growth, and the rest of the above components improve the resistance of nails to negative environmental influences. The modern cosmetic market can offer a huge selection of strengthening products for nails. The most popular among women are the strengthening gel "Smart Enamel", strengthening film from Mirra, strengthening varnishes from Belweder and from Platinum Collection. You can strengthen your nails as much as possible with the "sealing" procedure. This procedure involves layer-by-layer application of products that contain microelements, proteins and vitamins. First, the nails are polished, then a strengthening cream is rubbed into them, and then a strengthening oil. The beneficial substances received by the nails during "sealing" are preserved in them for two weeks, after which the procedure should be repeated. But in addition to strengthening products of various brands, you can strengthen your nails at home with the help of various folk remedies, paraffin therapy, and massage. In addition, a proper manicure can maintain the strength of your nails.

Manicure

On the issue of strengthening nails at homeManicure plays a rather important role. In order for nails to remain strong and healthy longer, you should avoid trimmed manicures and metal files. Instead of a metal file, it is better to use a file with a Teflon coating. Do not use products containing acetone to remove varnish. You should do a manicure at least once every two weeks, and every five days you should give your nails a two-day break from varnish. It is very useful not to use regular varnishes for some time - it is better to replace them with medicated varnishes, outwardly they are no different from regular colorless varnishes. In addition, it would not be superfluous to apply medicated varnishes under regular varnish in 2-3 layers - this way the nails will not only receive additional nutrition, but will also be well protected from the negative effects of regular varnish. For brittle nails, you should choose a medicated varnish with calcium, and for exfoliating nails - with fruit acids.

Paraffinotherapy

Paraffin therapy can perhaps be called the mosta pleasant cosmetic procedure. This procedure is done in salons, but you can also do it yourself. Strengthening nails at home with paraffin therapy has a number of useful properties - not only are nails strengthened, but hands also receive excellent hydration, blood circulation improves and the overall appearance of the hands improves. To perform this procedure at home, you need to have cosmetic paraffin, thermal gloves and protective plastic bags. Before the procedure, you should massage your hands with a peeling cream, which should then be completely removed from your hands. After this, you should immerse your hands up to the middle of the forearm five times, each time waiting for the paraffin to stop dripping from your hands. Then put on protective plastic bags on your hands, and then put on thermal gloves. After 10-20 minutes, remove the thermal gloves and massage your hands, then remove the bags and throw them away along with the paraffin remaining in them. After the procedure, apply a moisturizing hand cream to your hands. You should not do paraffin therapy if:

• The integrity of the skin is broken;
• Blood coagulability is disrupted;
• Sensitive skin is broken;
• There are neoplasms.

Before applying paraffin to your hands, you should do this on the inside of your wrist – the paraffin should not be too hot, otherwise you may get mild burns.

Nail massage

Nail massage is also very useful instrengthening nails with a procedure. Thanks to the massage, nails become stronger and more elastic. Massage with a soft brush in the cuticle area, and beforehand it should be soaped with baby soap or glycerin. During the massage, the cuticle is freed from dead skin cells, which prevents the appearance of unpleasant and unsightly cracks. More benefit from massage can be achieved if you regularly take baths with ocean or sea non-aromatic salt. Baths can be done in courses of 10 days with breaks per month, or you can do it once, but every week. Baths with sea salt are made as follows: 1 tablespoon of salt is placed on 0.5 liters of water. Keep your hands in the bath for 15-20 minutes, after which they need to be wiped and a nourishing cream applied to them.
