If you want to have beautiful nails, your physical condition is the first priority. Health is very important. No sick person will have plump and moist nails.
Healthy nails should be: the nail bed color is light pink (healthy color), showing a large C-shaped arc in the direction of the nail length, and a small C-shaped arc in the direction of the nail width, three-dimensional plump and shiny state.
Let's talk about the basic structure of nails, for the convenience of understanding, popular explanation.
1. Nail cover
Nails, mainly composed of keratin, are responsible for things like picking up small objects.
2. Nail bed
The nail bed is the carrier on which the nail cover is attached.
3. Nail base
The nail base is at the root of the nail and is responsible for supplying the nutrition of the nail (nail matrix)
4. Nail core
The nail core is a thin layer of soft film that connects the nail bed and the nail, similar to the inner protective film of an egg.
The above is the main composition.
5. Free line
The free line refers to the front end of the finger, the edge of the connection between the nail bed, the nail core and the nail cover. The normal state is at the same height as the fingertip, and has a natural symmetrical arc, like a crescent moon, like the corner of a smiling mouth, so it is also called a smile line or smile line. If you often cut your nails past the smile line or very close to the smile line, it will naturally recede to protect the nail bed. If this happens for a long time, the nail bed will degenerate and become shorter.
6. Free edge
Free Edge, as the name suggests, allows the nails to grow indefinitely. From the smile line to infinite length is called free side. Most people's nails are prone to breakage or delamination due to nutritional deficiencies.
7. Nail groove
A nail groove is the groove between the side of the nail and the finger. When the hands are relatively dry, they are prone to pimples or crusty skin. This problem cannot be solved by any hand cream. Hand cream mainly cares for the skin on the palms and backs of the hands. Finger thorns can be treated with finger oil. You can choose moisturizing and softening finger oil for prevention, such as avocado finger oil.
8. Finger edge and finger skin
The finger edge refers to the fleshy part surrounding the nail, including the finger skin and the edge of the nail groove. The finger skin has no nerves and blood vessels, and plays a role in protecting the methyl group.

Basic steps of personal nail care at home
1. Cut nails
As mentioned above for the smile line, the length should be reserved when cutting the nails, and the shortest point should be reserved to 2 mm from the smile line, which can be square, square, oval, pointed, etc. Polish the ideal shape according to age, occupation, hand shape, preference, etc. As a reminder, the ellipse is moderate and stable, while the square is cool and fashionable.
2. Soak fingers and nails in warm water
You can put a small amount of hand sanitizer in the water (don't put it if you mind), soak the finger edges until soft, and use eyebrow scissors to cut off any thorns.
3. Exfoliating
Wrap the gauze around the index finger, and use the fingertips to wipe off the dead skin floating on the surface of the other nails (skin flakes, that is, the inactive cell dander that comes out with the growth of the nails), especially the nail grooves, and do it repeatedly . Pay attention to only rubbing the surface of the nail, and non-professionals should not push up the finger skin.
4. Polishing
Use the front and back of the polishing strip to buff the nail surface to a glossy finish. (If the dead skin is not wiped off, the brightness will not last long)
5. Clean
Clean the inner surface of the free edge of the nail with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.
6. Whitening
Repeatedly rubbing the inner surface of the fresh lemon peel on the nail surface will have a very good whitening effect.
Well, wash your hands and dry them with a soft towel. See how your nails have changed?
7. Apply finger oil around the nails and massage until absorbed
8. Apply hand cream and massage until absorbed.
