How to Care for Your Fingernails

Instructions

  1. Step 1
    Incorporate the recommended daily allowance of vitamin B, calcium and protein into your diet.

  2. Step 2

     
    Take a daily multivitamin to ensure that you are getting the proper amounts of other vitamins.

  3. Step 3
    Wear rubber gloves whenever you use cleaning products, wash dishes or work in your garden to protect your nails from chemicals and dirt.

  4. Step 4

     
    Moisturize nail beds regularly with a nondrying nail lotion. Rub the lotion over the entire nail bed at least once a day.

  5. Step 5

     
    Trim cuticles once each week. Soften cuticles with a specialized cuticle cream, then trim carefully with a cuticle clipper.

  6. Step 6

     
    Clip your nails regularly in a rounded or squared shape. The pointier the tip of your fingernail, the more likely it is to break off.

  7. Step 7
    Give your nails a break from polish as often as possible. The more time your nails spend in the nude, the less they will dry and chip.
