Tips to Strengthen Finger Nails

• Try to use nail polish remover only twice per month.

• Eat healthy food. Although it has been shown that eating large amounts of protein doesn't affect the health of your nails, a balanced diet ensures that you're getting the correct amount of vitamins and nutrients, which in turn promotes healthy nails.

• Cut or trim brittle nails after a bath or soaking fingers in bath oil. This helps prevent breakage and nail damage while trimming. Remember to moisturize afterward!

• Avoid nail hardeners containing formaldehyde or toluene sulfonamide. Some people experience reddening and irritation due to these chemicals.

• Don't pull off hangnails. Cut them off using nail clippers or manicure scissors.
