Keeping your nails well groomed is an important part to your overall look. Once a month put a really good moisturizer or oil on your hands and have a friend wrap them in saran wrap. The saran wrap will lock in the natural heat that comes from your body and will serve as a hand deep conditioning treatment. This season, don’t forget about your nails.
Q. My nails are so weak and brittle. I use lotion on them every day, but they peel and break all the time and look very bad. What can I do?
A. The problem is, most likely, that you lack calcium in your diet. Try drinking calcium-rich orange juice every day and taking vitamins specifically formulated to strengthen the hair and nails, called Follicure. You can purchase these vitamins at your local vitamin shop or beauty supply store.
Q. What is the best way to file my nails?
A. You should file from one edge of the nail to the center, and then from the other edge back to the center. Never “saw” your nails in a back and forth motion. Always use smooth, long strokes to prevent chipping.
