Nail Strengtheners and Cuticle Creams from your Kitchen

Have you heard about homemade cuticle creams and nail strengtheners? If not, this is the right time to know. Why do we need to buy expensive nail straighteners, cuticle oils etc..? We can make our own at home easily within very few minutes. So, what can act as a good nail strengthener and cuticle oil naturally? I will list you few, you would be surprised.
1. Butter
2. Petroleum Jelly (Eg. Vaseline)
3. Lip Balms
4. Almond and Vitamin E Oils
5. Milk Cream
6. Coconut Oil

Did you notice? All the above listed ingredients are very nourishing ones. When they help nails and provide nourishment, nail breakage will be completely stopped within few days. Breakage is caused due to nail weakness and dryness. To prevent weakness, we should take good nutritious food and avoid much water related works like washing clothes, dishes etc. (Better wear gloves while working with water). To prevent dryness, we can use the above mentioned products without any fear. 
   After every bath and before going to bed every night, apply little petroleum jelly, lip balm or any essential oils on your nails and cuticles. Gently massage with your finger tips for 5 to 10 minutes. Go to sleep, wake up in the morning to see your shiny nails :) It is 100% true that nails which get nourishment never breaks due to dryness. As this is winter, it is very essential to moisture and nourish nails to prevent them from chapping and peeling.
  Massaging nails with milk cream and washing them after 10 minutes also helps in strengthening nails up to an extent. You can also perform a simple, nourishing nail soak at home. Take a small bowl of creamy raw milk. Dip your nails and allow the milk nutrition to work on your nails and cuticles. Wash off with clean water and towel dry. Moisturize your nails with your favorite petroleum jelly or any essential oil. This nail soak can be followed once in a week to prevent your beautiful nails and add extra beauty and strength to them. Keep in mind, healthy nails grows longer and stronger.
  Butter and coconut oil can act as a very good cuticle cream naturally, so use them in your nails without any fear of side effects, because they are all natural. Intake of Biotin and Calcium rich foods also lead to healthy nails and cuticles. My favorite nail moisturizer is Himalaya Lip Balm. I use it every night and this is the first time in my life my nail is stronger and longer than never before :P Try it or any other lip balms to nourish your nails every night and let me know the results..

Home Remedies for Strong and Shiny Nails

Like our skin, our nails also need extra nourishment in winter to get rid of chipping and breaking. Our nails break in winter due to extra moisture loss. To prevent this we at least need to moisturize them twice a day. How long your nails may be, they aren't really beautiful if they're dry and chipped. Note down the following natural and simple beauty tips for your nails and protect their beauty in this winter!

PETROLEUM JELLY (VASELINE)
Vaseline not only moisturizes your skin and lips, it can also be used to protect your nails from excess moisture loss in winter. Just take a bit of Vaseline, apply it over your nails and massage them for a minute to see an instant healthy shine :) This make take just a minute but the results are great and makes you a nail beauty! Do this twice a day, once after bath and the other before going to bed at night. This procedure gradually strengthens your nails and make them look fuller with a beautiful shine.

MILK
Milk is a natural ingredient which can act as a good cleanser and also a good nourishing tonic. Prepare a nail soak with milk to cleanse dirt from your nails and strengthen them. Take a small bowl and fill it with milk, soak your nails for 10 to 15 minutes and wash off with clean and cold water. A main thing I want to remind you all is that moisturize your nails with Vaseline or any baby oil soon after you work in water. It will prevent nails from weakening and cracking.
I have a little suggestion for you all! :) I always use Himalaya Lip Balm as a nourishing nail balm too. I also apply it over my nails and massage it. It gives an instant shine and also helps my nail grow long and beautiful without any cracks. Do this after every bath and every night before going to bed for best results.
