Foot nail fungus can be extremely embarrassing. The fungus makes beautiful nails turn into yellow, brittle and ugly toenails. However, you can maintain the beauty and health of your toenails with these 4 easy preventative tips!
Preventative Tip #1 - Keep Your Feet Clean and Dry
When your feet stay dirty or damp, it increases the risk that you will develop a nail fungus infection. Inside your socks, where it stays moist, warm and damp - fungus will invade and flourish in that type of environment. By keeping your socks clean, dry and fresh, you will prevent foot nail fungus from taking over.
Use a nail brush to clean under your toenails regularly. This will keep them clean so that there is no attraction for the nail fungus. Also, be very careful when you're trimming your toe nails. A tiny cut, even if you don't feel it, will provide an entry point for foot nail fungus to invade. If you do accidentally cut your skin, clean it immediately with alcohol and use an antibiotic ointment. Covering it with a bandage may seem like overkill, but it will help keep fungus from entering the cut.
Preventative Tip #2 - Shoes On and Shoes Off
It's important that you keep your shoes on when you are in public places - even if (or especially) if everyone else is going barefoot. If someone else has a foot nail fungus problem, there is a chance you can pick it up by going barefoot. This includes places like the showers at the pool, the gym and anywhere that other people walk regularly. This will keep your toenails healthy and safe.
When you're at home, you can take your socks and shoes off and allow your feet and toenails to breathe. Go barefoot or wear cozy slippers with no toe covers. This allows the air to get to your feet and toenails and reduces the moisture by your feet. Together, these things will help you prevent foot nail fungus.
Preventative Tip #3 - Extracts and Oils
Some plant extracts and oils are known to reduce foot nail fungus that plagues you. You can prevent this fungus by using natural oils and extracts like Jojoba oil, Tea Tree oil and Vitamin E oil which are all health supportive for your toenails. Simply rub the oils on your toenails one to three times a day and allow your toenails and skin to absorb the oils.
This will help you prevent foot nail fungus from taking over and turning your beautiful nails into yellow, brittle and ugly nails.
When you use these three preventative tips, you can keep your toenails healthy and beautiful. Hope this helps!What is good for for brittle toe nails?
