Roughness and bumps on the nails can appear for various reasons: household injuries, bumps, poor quality manicure, fungal infections, vitamin deficiency or even hereditary tendency. If the waviness of the nails is caused by internal causes, it is worth visiting a dermatologist - the specialist will choose the right treatment. In parallel with professional help, you can use these 5 simple methods to restore your nails at home.
1. Use therapeutic polishes
Treatment polishes effectively nourish the nail plate from the inside and help it to quickly repair and smooth out. They can be used as a base for coloured nail polish - this way the maintenance process will take place discreetly without sacrificing the beauty of the manicure.
2. Revise your diet
Sometimes uneven nails can be a sign of avitaminosis - it is a signal that the body is malfunctioning. In this case, it is important to review your diet. In the daily menu it is recommended to include courgettes, tomatoes, cabbage, nuts, apples, dried fruit, beetroot and plums. These useful products help to fill the deficiency of vitamins and minerals in the body.
The result will not be long in coming - soon you will notice an improvement not only in the condition of your nails, but also in your hair.
3. Favour matte and or glossy finishes
Lacquers with reflective micro-particles can aggravate the condition of damaged nail plate. If your nails are uneven, opt for classic glossy or matte finishes.
4. Do household chores with gloves only
Make washing up with gloves your little self-care ritual. Gloves protect your hands from harsh detergents that can damage your skin and cause uneven nails.
5. Regularly perform therapeutic baths
In order for your nails to recover faster, it is important to take regular care of your nails. We recommend twice a week baths with sea salt - it strengthens the nail plate, helps to smooth its surface and effectively fights fungal infections.
Also excellent baths with decoctions of medicinal herbs: nettle, celandine, chamomile or succession - they have anti-inflammatory and strengthening effect.
In addition, it is worth practising finger massage with nourishing oils (for example, jojoba, almond or argan oil) - it can be done even while watching your favourite TV show. Such comprehensive care will noticeably accelerate recovery and make your nails strong and well-groomed.
