Nail Bites - how should I file my nails?

I, like many of you, am trying to keep busy, trying to keep some sort of routine. Some work in the morning, a walk after lunch, and return to work. It is important to achieve something each day! 

It is equally important to look after ourselves too, and this includes your hands and nails. Your nails are Jewels not Tools!

Keeping your nails filed to a smooth shape is important. 

When filing your nail do not saw back and forth! However tempting this may be for a quick result.

Start from the side of the nail and file towards the centre, gently lifting the nail. Repeat for the other side of your nail. You will then be able to shape your nail. 
Using this technique is far less traumatic to the nail and will help to preserve its strength. You may find that this leaves ‘feathers’ - tuck the tip of your file under the nail and flick these bits aside.

If your nails are very short, it is still vital to look after them to nurse them back into shape. A gentle file and some TLC will encourage them to grow.
And of course, after filing your nails treat them with cuticle oil and handcream. Take this time to really indulge your nails and hands - they deserve it! 

Stay safe & healthy.
