Hand care is so important, so obvious, and yet so often neglected. Dry, cracked, painful hands and fingers are frequent wintertime skin concerns.
Simply consider the limitation in movement and comfort this presents. Fortunately a little prevention and some good treatment help keep hands intact year round.
Hand eczema, atopic dermatitis, dishidrotic eczema, psoriasis, contact dermatitis (allergy), latex allergy and simple wear and tear lay the groundwork.
Combined with cold, dry weather and lifestyle (like over exposure to harsh chemicals or water), and the skin is set to form tough to treat hand and finger splits.
One of the simplest ways to fingernail care is through a well-planned and balanced diet. The right kind of foods added in your regular diet can easily bring a healthy glow to you fingernails and enhance your overall appearance.
However, it is important to remember that nails are made of keratin (a hard protein), which enables the nails to protect your fingers and toes from injuries.
Similar to hair and skin, negligence and poor diet may reflect in weak and brittle nails, leading to ugly looking hands.
