Tips for healthy nails....

Nails reflect our overall health, which is why proper nail care is so important. Here are dermatologists’ tips for keeping your nails healthy:

• Keep nails clean and dry.
• Cut nails straight across. Use sharp nail scissors or clippers. Round the nails slightly at the tips for maximum strength.

• Keep nails shaped and free of snags by filing with an emery board.
• Do not bite fingernails or remove the cuticle. Doing so can damage the nail.
• Do not use your nails as a tool, such as opening pop cans.
