The first thing we can all do in
having good-looking hands is to keep them
clean by washing regularly. It’s amazing how many
people (guys especially, but some women and girls
too) walk around with grubby non manicured finger
nails. Get a nail brush and put it by the sink,
so it’s convenient whenever you wash your hands.
An added plus of a nail brushing your fingers is
the way it feels: those soft bristles and the luxurious
soapy lather take your hands on a daily very mini
spa vacation. Always follow up with a nice hand
cream or lotion to keep your hands moisturized .
Stop
nail biting. Break your toddler or child's habit
early.
Beautiful hands and nail care start
with basics, and not having craggy, bleeding cuticles
is a primary step in having presentable hands. Granted,
one of the hardest habits to break is to stop fingernail
biting, but it’s also one of the more disfiguring
things that can happen to a hand.
We all know someone who bites their
nails to the quick, then starts on those ragged
cuticles.
Nail-biting
usually starts in early childhood as a toddler with
some people never outgrowing it, while others only
revert to nail-biting in times of stress.
A finger nail biting cure that helped remedy 18
year old girl's problem from when she was a child.
I know a New York
woman who stopped biting her nails when she was
eighteen, because she wanted to be a flight attendant,
and she had read in one of those “How to Be a Flight
Attendant” guides, that bitten nails would keep
her from being accepted into “Smile School”. (It
was a long time ago, when airlines also had age
limitations for stewardesses.) I admired her greatly
as she stopped through sheer willpower.
At first, she went
retro and wore gloves a lot. She also started carrying
a nail file in her purse so that when a nail got
split or roughened, she could take care of it on
the spot. She wore gloves because taking off a glove
to bite a nail is a great way to make yourself pause
and consider, and then stop the behavior before
it starts. She never did become a flight attendant,
but she did have her hands photographed for a newspaper
ad for the Chicago manicure and nail salon that
she frequented and once more a few years later for
a Los Angeles nail care and manicure salon.
Nail
care and nail biting products
There are some
products on the market to stop nail-biting, super-hot
or bitter things to paint on your nails. I've heard
some nail-biters say that the nasty taste didn't
stop them, but they must work for some people.
