When the weather changes and becomes dry, housewives should pay attention to taking care of not only their skin but also their nails. In particular, dry and cold air can remove natural moisture, making nails dry, brittle and vulnerable.
Proper nail care during the changing seasons is something that needs special attention to protect the health of your hands.
Nail moisturizer
Moisturizing is an important step in nail care during the dry season. Use a moisturizer or oil specifically formulated for your nails and cuticles to help provide the necessary moisture.
Products containing ingredients like vitamin E, argan oil, almond oil or shea butter help nourish and soften nails.
Alternatively, you can try natural remedies like soaking your nails in warm olive oil for 10-15 minutes once a week. This will help to increase moisture, improve nail elasticity and prevent nail breakage.
Housewives should also not forget to use moisturizer after each hand washing to maintain moisture for nails more effectively.
Limit the use of chemical products
Nails that are frequently exposed to water, soap or chemical products will lose their natural oils, making them dry and weak.
So, limit your use of chemical-containing products such as nail polish or nail polish remover containing acetone. If necessary, choose safe products that do not contain harmful chemicals.
To overcome the above situation, housewives should wear gloves when doing housework such as washing dishes, doing laundry...
Supplement enough nutrients
Diet plays an important role in caring for nails from the inside. Adding foods rich in biotin (vitamin B7) such as eggs, almonds, beans and whole grains helps strengthen nails.
Zinc and iron are also essential minerals, found in red meat, seafood and green vegetables, which help stimulate nail growth.
In particular, housewives should drink enough water every day to help maintain moisture for the body and nails, preventing dryness and cracking. On average, you should drink 1.5 to 2 liters of water per day.
Additionally, you can add fruit juice or herbal tea to increase nutrients and support the body's hydration process.
