CHANDIGARH

On the arrival of monsoon season, one may think that they got relief from the heat and the humidity but they forget that rains come with pains. However, as the rain keeps falling, fungal and bacterial diseases start to spread, affecting our skin and nails. Well, there is nothing to panic about as there are some tricks that will help you to keep your skin and nails clean.

  1. Cut and keep it short – Consistently cut your fingernails with a high-quality nail clipper to prevent severe infectious diseases from settling inside. Because they have a tendency to rust in the edges and exacerbate infection into it. Make this a guiding principle during the rain.
  2. Keep your feet and toenails dry since they are most susceptible to contaminated monsoon water. Consequently, they are more fragile and susceptible to harm. The development of dead skin surrounding them is caused by the build-up of dirt. Your choice of footwear is crucial in avoiding all of this. Instead of closed leather shoes, put on a pair of open sandals. Dry the nails and feet after removing them.
  3. Polish it carefully – Females love to apply nail paint on their toes and fingernails. Utilizing nail polishes throughout the monsoon is indeed not prohibited but make an effort to choose environmentally safe and chemical-free nail colors. To enhance nail health, use manicure color removers that, at the very least, contain Vitamins A, C, and E.
  4. Wash them in warm water to maintain the skin clean and silky. It also has antifungal and antibacterial properties. Therefore, it is strongly advised to use a nail pick to clean dirt from obscured spaces and the nail bed.
  5. Balanced diet – Finally it’s essential to maintain a healthy diet not only during the rainy season but throughout the year. You may add vitamins like Omega 3 and E to your diet generally, but especially during the monsoon season. Furthermore, it’s strongly advised that your diet contains a good variety of proteins.
