DIYs for Healthy Nails
1. Hydrate your cuticles 
The skin around your nails, i.e. cuticles, promote nail growth and protect your nails from infections. You may get rid of the dead cuticles, but if you push them back too much or cut them more than necessary, that, in turn, leaves your nail bed open to infection. So, if you are new to cutting cuticles, leave it to the professionals.
To maintain good cuticle health, you can moisturize your cuticles with natural oils like coconut oil and jojoba oil. After applying this oil, let it soak in for 5-10 minutes and then move on to pushing back your cuticles. This will make the process less painful and far more gentle. It is recommended to apply cuticle oil every day before going to bed to work its magic!
2. Protect your nails while doing aggressive chores
Chores like cleaning, washing clothes, doing the dishes are some of the tasks that one cannot avoid. But it doesn't mean your nails can't. Putting your hands and nails in water for long hours is not a healthy habit for your nails.
The more time they spend in the water, the weaker they get. Your hands and nails will lose their natural oils, making your hands dry and your nails brittle. To keep your hands well moisturized, indulge in DeBelle Skin Moisturizer Blueberry Burst with the goodness of fresh blueberries.
3. Use apple cider vinegar to avoid nail infections 
Apple cider vinegar has immense antifungal properties. It is readily available in the market, and it is an excellent option for people who suffer from fungal or bacterial nail infections. Apple cider vinegar is acidic that works effectively by eliminating the alkaline environment in which bacteria tends to grow.
Fill up a bowl with equal parts of apple cider vinegar and warm water. Soak your hands in for 20 minutes, and you can have your own hand spa experience at home. Feel free to pamper your toenails with the same method too!
