How to Make Your Nails Grow Faster and Keep Your Hands Soft

Steps

Make your nails grow fast

1. 1
   Avoid painting your nails, as this softens the tip of your nail and breaks away your nail (as do all the chemicals) in nail varnish.
   
   
   
2. 2
   Do not bite your nails. If you do your nails will never grow long. (Extra tip: If you are a biter, when you feel the urge to bite your nails sit on your hands or do something creative with them to talk your mind out of it)
   
   
   
3. 3
   Avoid digging/scratching with your nails as this weakens your nails & due to this they have more chance of breaking or not growing properly.
   
   
   
4. 4
   Use a hand and nail moisturiser daily: one with not too many chemicals, and natural ingredients. Use this three times a day and only a little on your nails.
   
   
   
5. 5
   Clean your nails with a nail cleaner daily.
   
   
   
6. 6
   Use a nail strengthener (Avon, £4.00) with natural ingredients twice a week as this will help your nails grow stronger and will also help to make them shine.
   
   
   
7. 7
   Push your cuticles down (the little white half circle at the bottom of your nail). You can get a special item to do this, ask in boots or any chemist and do it twice a day. This pushes the skin down and makes nails look longer whilst growing them.
   
   
   

Making your hands soft and healthy

1. 1
   Avoid putting your hands in strong liquids (E.g bleach, cleaners) as this gets chemicals on your hands and makes them look and feel stiff and horrible.
   
   
   
2. 2
   Use a hand and nail cream daily, only use a little bit on the back of your hand and rub in. (If you moisturise your hands too much they will become greasy)
   
   
   
3. 3
   Avoid sitting in the bath or shower too long, as this makes your hands and feet wrinkly, this also takes a lot of moisture out of your skin.
   
   
   
4. 4
   If you use your hands a lot (E.g Gardening, Writing, Cooking) then try your best to moisturize 5 times a day in an even time plan.
