Our bodies are truly amazingly created. Did you know that your nails come equipped with a natural barrier keeping the nail and the nail bed protected from germs, bacteria and infections?
This protective seal is called the hyponychium - the skin found underneath the free edge of your nail (where the nail meets the fingertip or toe). Keeping this naturally protective barrier healthy and intact is of utmost importance, especially if you regularly do manicures, wear false nails, or clean under your nails often.
Here are a few simple ways to protect your hyponychium:
- No picking or poking
- Don’t clip your nails below the hyponychium line, even if the nail is lifted
- Don’t scrape or use sharp instruments to “clean” under the nail
- Clean gently with a soft brush, like a toothbrush or one with soft bristles
To support overall nail care, you can also incorporate Citrusway Nail Solution into your routine. Used consistently, it helps support healthier-looking nails while keeping your nail care routine simple and effective.
