Home Remedies for Getting Shiny Nails

 

 

The nail matrix is where nails are formed. You can see the white, crescent-shaped edge of the matrix, called the lunula, through the base of the nail. The nail bed is the pink area under the nail. It contains blood vessels and nerves.  The nail plate is the actual fingernail and is made of hardened keratin protein.   The cuticle is the dead skin that overlaps your nail plate at the base to form a waterproof seal.

No matter how wonderful dress you are wearing, if your nails are not done, then your whole appearance looks incomplete. Applying a coat of nail paint, every time you go out, of course makes your nails shiny, but in the long term, damages them. Getting shiny nails is not a tough row to hoe. The ingredients from your kitchen cabinet can work wonders for you. Let’s check some of the home remedies for clean, shiny and healthy nails................

 Eat a healthy diet

As with most aspects of our bodies, we get the best results from eating a well-balanced, vitamin rich diet. Vitamin deficiencies show up quickly as weakened, brittle fingernails or pits in the nail.

 Keep your nails trimmed

If you’ve ever had long nails, then you’ve almost certainly suffered from a broken nail at some point. Broken nails are painful! They’re also bothersome, and I find that I pick at mine and make them worse. The only solution I’ve found to broken nails is to actually prevent them by keeping my nails well-trimmed. You know the length your nails can withstand; there’s no need to grow them out longer just to suffer the inevitable painful break while you’re trying to wash the dishes.

Use moisturizer

When rubbing lotion or oil into your hands, make sure you work it into the cuticles and nails, too. Regular hand washing or use of hand sanitizer can dry out the skin and nail bed quickly, so try to moisturize after every wash, if possible. Coconut oil is excellent for rubbing into your nails and cuticles.
