Top Tips for Maintaining Healthy Nails Between Appointments

Regular podiatry visits are essential for nail health, but what can you do in between appointments? Here are our top nail care tips to maintain healthy nails if you live in Kilsyth, Bayswater North, or Montrose:

  • Keep Your Nails Clean and Dry: Ensure your nails are free from dirt and moisture to prevent fungal infections. Regularly wash your hands and dry them thoroughly.

  • Moisturise Regularly: Just like your skin, your nails can become dry and brittle. Use a moisturising lotion or cuticle oil to keep your nails hydrated.

  • Avoid Biting Your Nails: Nail-biting can lead to injury and infection. Try to break this habit by keeping your nails trimmed short.

  • Wear Breathable Footwear: Opt for shoes that allow your feet to breathe, reducing moisture buildup that can lead to fungal infections.

  • Get Regular Check-Ups: Schedule routine visits with our podiatrists to monitor your nail health.

By following these simple tips, you can keep your nails healthy until your next appointment at 2 Right Feet in Kilsyth.
