About Nail Care

People may not realize it, but our hands and fingernails reveal a lot about us. Healty nails are a sign of general good health.

To keep your hands and nails healthy and looking their best, moisturize them regularly and treat them gently. A gentle hand massage will boost your circulation and encourage nail growth and is also the perfect way to pamper yourself. Another basic recipe for strong, vigorous nails and healty skin is a balanced diet.

Nails are made of a hard protein called keratin. A protein is one of the building blocks which make up the body. The nails help protect the ends of the fingers and toes from trauma and also help us pick up small objects. The nail plate is composed of layers of compressed scleroprotein cells, held together by natural oils and moisture which give the keratinized layer its suppleness. It is naturally the visible, outer layer that is particularly sensitive to outside elements and can very easily be dried by too much sun, detergents, chlorine, cold weather, etc., causing nails to become brittle.

Human nails grow at an average of one-tenth of an inch a month from the area under cuticle called matrix. As new cells grow, older cells become hard and compacted and are eventually pushed out toward our fingertips. Nails grow faster on dominant hand, and they grow more in summer than in winter. Nails are permeable, which means they let in liquids that come in contact with them.
