Speed UP! 4 Tips To Grow Your Nails Faster, Stronger And Healthier

Nails, just like skin, need regular maintenance. In addition to spending more time on nail art, it's essential to take the time to invest in healthy nail care. Therefore, we share four practical tips to grow your nails faster, stronger, and healthier.

 


Start With Your Diet

 

Nail care starts with diet. Staying hydrated is one of the essential parts of your beauty routine. Moreover, here's a list of 9 foods for keeping your nails healthy.

 


1. Beans are a great source of biotin (a B vitamin), and supplementation with biotin helps prevent fingernail breakage.


2. Pumpkin seeds are rich in the trace element zinc. Zinc deficiency can lead to white spots on the nails.


3. Red meat is rich in iron, another key micronutrient for keeping nails healthy.

4. Milk is high in calcium, which can promote nail growth.


5. Eggs. Keratin (a protein) is one of the main components of nails.

6. Carrots keep your nails from getting dark and dry.


7. Tomatoes contain high amounts of biotin and tomato red pigment, which are suitable for healthy nail growth.


8. The silica in bananas improves the appearance of nails.


9. Spinach and other green leafy vegetables are rich in iron, beta-carotene, folic acid, and vitamin C, which are beneficial for keeping nails healthy and strong.

 

 


Reduce Exposure To Chemicals

 

To ensure fast and healthy nail growth, we must change our lifestyle habits. The first thing to do is to stop using nail polishes containing acrylics and acetone, which contain chemicals that leave residue on the nails and make them weaker and more brittle, thus not allowing them to grow naturally. Also, we should avoid acetone-based nail polish removers and look for all-natural products instead.

 


Taking Care Of Your Nails

 

While our goal is to grow the nails longer and more robust, it is also vital to prevent them from breaking. A gentler glass file is recommended, its fine abrasive surface is better for common nails, especially compared to the rough surfaces of emery boards and metal files, not only for delicate nails but also for keeping their rounded shape.

Manicure Care Before Bed

 

Since nighttime is the peak of nail growth, developing a habit of complementary massage is vital to make nail care twice as effective. It is suitable to be massaged together with nail care oil which contains vitamins and natural herbs that help to increase blood circulation and accelerate the flow of beneficial substances in the nail matrix.
