How To Clean And Whiten Your Nails

From a very young age kids are thought how important it is to wash their hands as often as possible
in order to eliminate all the bacteria and prevent some serious diseases. Admittedly washing your hands on
regular basis and especially before having a meal is essential but a considerable amount of attention
should be paid to the nails and the dirt they accumulate. Having clean and good – looking nails is not only aesthetic but it also have a positive impact on your health. Taking care of your hands and nails should be a habit, established in the childhood and now there are so many more or less useful tricks to maintain them clean that you become spoilt for choice which one to entrust. Here are some of the proven methods that will make your nails look beautiful and white:

• the first step to having neat nails is the regular trimming. Some ladies are so obsessed with 

having long nails that trimming is out of question. However, it is critically important unless you want your nails become thin and fragile

• file them as soon as needed so they don't lose their shape and look aesthetic

• cleaning the area underneath your nails can be pretty tricky. Using a nail brush is recommended but if you are unwilling to carry one everywhere you go, hot water and soap would do a good job as well

• don't use somebody else's tools for grooming and polishing. If you have no alternative, 

carefully sanitize them before usage

• chewing your nails is a terrible habit that destroys the nails so do your best to get rid of it

• the cuticles are often considered to be unattractive and they are often removed but the truth

is that namely the cuticles can help you avoid infections.

• If you notice that you have a problem with your nails or hangnails that looks like it's here 

to stay, hurry up and seek for medical assistance. That might be a sign of a serious but 

preventable health disorder.

It is a common knowledge that the nicotine and the nail polish are among the main causes of dark 

nails that look ugly and badly groomed. If your nails match the description above, there's no point

in worrying. You can easily get rid of that and have clean and whiter than ever nails. You don't even 

have to spend a great sum of money on that. Try some home made recipes out

• you would never achieve the desired results unless you perform some buffing. Be careful

though, otherwise you risk making your nails too weak

• you'd better not apply a nail polish all the time. Let your nails “breathe” from time to time

and you will avoid the stains that the continuous usage of nail polish causes

• you can easily make them whiter by using equal parts toothpaste, lemon juice and the well 

known baking soda. Leave the mixture on your nails for about five minutes then scrub 

with a mild brush. You can simply apply a whitening toothpaste or soak your nails into a 

container filled with lemon juice as well. The results should be satisfactory and your nails 

will look neat, clean and beautiful.
