From now on you will be able to learn to maintain your fingernails with the appropriate care, remind that the fingernails are the introduction card of the person, they are like an extension of us and the contact with the others.

The care of the fingernails does not mean that the fingernails have to be long and super-decorated, rather than they are healthy and well-kept. When our fingernails are healthy, one can shine the decorations and all we want to show.

The fingernails in addition of protecting us, show our health condition, the personnel care and about our personality.. When we buy something, we have work interviews or we look for the love of our life, the hands are very well observed.
The bit fingernails. the cuticles and archaic manicure evidence abandon and laziness and they provoke rejection.
If they are taken care of, they grow healthy, strong and pretty; in the course of time they become long and hard and in turn they help us to increase the power of our personality and spirit.

The neglected fingernails are synonym of abandon.

In order to take care of our fingernails we have to provide ourselves with the tools and convenient products for the use. You never have to remove the accumulated dirtiness  under the fingernails with scissors or the point of a file.

 Submerging the fingers in hot water with soap and rubbing them with a little brush to eliminate the more resistant dirtiness, and massage the fingertip  with disinfectant first-rate products.

The extended utilization of protective plastic gloves at the time of   accomplish housework or

working, can be sometimes  dangerous due to the humidification linked to the impermeability of the plastic, although not having allergy attached to that type of gloves. Electing always good-quality gloves and not too adjusted, but with a little superior size in proportion to your hands to let air go by and to avoid excessive transpiration.

The artificial fingernails of any kind can offer an ideal habitat for infectious factors, that’s why it is necessary to insist on the importance of following an adequate and strict hygiene of these artificial fingernails and to utilize first-quality products.

For people that due to their occupation have their hands often in touch with humid works, and may have more probabilities of contagious with fungus, we suggest to use treatments to prevent fungus infections.

Above all we don’t cut fingernails, neither with scissors, nor with nail-clipper, they are filed, but neither in anyway, nor with anything. The nail-clippers are used exceptionally only if we want to shorten too long fingernails. The cut of the fingernails is  fulfilled respecting its convex form in three steps; A side, the other and to finalize the center.
The cut of the toenails is done respecting a squareness to avoid alterations like in the ingrown nails.

Our fingernail is formed of 3 keratin’s coats, the first one is the brilliant part the second one is called medium keratin , and the third class, the sensitive keratin. These three coats run the risk to separate or to bend down with an intensive use of the nail-clipper or the scissors.

Remember: Never use wrong formulated beauty products like aggressive nail polish removers or hardeners loaded with too much formol, as these products dry too much the fingernails and they used to be the leading cause of damage of the keratin coats, natural protector of the fingernails, leaving them without defenses in front of alterations and external aggressions.

How the nail are composed ?

The structure of the fingernail is similar to the structure of the bones, 3 coats fix it:

 

The superficial coat is formed by cells that have lost its vitality and they accumulate fibrous material like keratins.

 

The intermediate coat is thicker, and it has the same origin than the superficial one but with alive close-knit cells among them and a less density of fibers  of keratin.

 

The deep coat, finally, are only two coats of cells that come from the bed of the skin.

How the nail are?

The fingernail, is a flat and convex plate that covers and protects the fingertips.
This plate is formed by coats of keratin, repose on the bed of skin and has two well defined borders, one stuck directly to the skin zone and the other border free, curiously, in the zone of the free border we can observe a line that marks the beginning of the free area. s
In the border that is below the cuticle we find the root of the fingernail, its birth, this zone comes from a more whitish color than the rest of the nail and we observed a zone of half moon.

At this zone the skin that coats the fingernail has two faces and is called cuticle, it has an inner face  and the other one is external and its function is to protect the root of the nail.
The fingernails are formed in the same way of the skin, his principal component is the keratin, the principal difference between the skin and the fingernail is the percentage of water, the first one contains a 85 % and the fingernail only a 12%.
