Nail Self Care
Self-care is very important. It’s very important to keep your immune system fully nourished. Eat a wholesome diet with lots of fruit and vegetables. This will help your body fend off invaders.Here are some ways that may help to prevent fungal infections:
• Keep your feet dry, avoid constant moisture
• Avoid nonporous, closed shoes made of synthetic materials
• Wear absorbent socks, preferably cotton or wool
• Wear water-proof sandals when public showers
Also, after showering or swimming, dry your feet completely with a clean towel. Keep your nails cut short.
Additionally, if you are going to a salon for a manicure or pedicure, be selective about the salon and how they sterilize their instruments. Never borrow or lend nail files, emery board, nail clippers, etc.
Avoid artificial nails, as they tend to have a negative impact on nails.
Be sure to wash you hands with soap and hot water after touching your nails or someone else’s nails.
