I do not know about others, but I can not work in the garden gloves. Well, uncomfortable and everything! And this is my whim led to the inevitable consequences: cracked hands and dirt under the nails. But desperate situations do not happen, and today I'll tell you what I do to the dirt under the fingernails after garden work does not remain.
Preparing to enter the beds
Previously, I scrubbed nails sawing sharp side. I will tell you that the process is not very efficient, and: all the dirt does not scrape, scratch and even the nail plate and may damage the delicate skin underneath. And the consequences of this kind of damage does not have to wait long.
So what to do? I think it's better predubedit trouble than to get rid of the consequences. I offer to take several measures in order to preserve the purity of the nail during the garden work. So:
- Soap. Before you begin, wet bar of soap with water and scrape his nails. The resulting crust will not give ground and debris get under the fingernails; soap after working is easily washed off with water.
- Clear nail polish. I use clear varnish to prevent mechanical damage to the nail: scratches, breakage. The varnish can be applied several times a day, it gives the nail plate strength and protects it from scratches and dirt.
- Hand cream. To save the beautiful skin of the hands and cuticles, before going to the garden you need to spread your hands any bold enough, or better yet a silicone cream for the hands. Forms a protective film which prevents drying and skin contamination.
How to clean already contaminated nails?
But if nogotochki protect you forgot or did not have time, I'll tell you how they can be cleaned.
- Use toothpaste! This method is perfectly removes dirt from under his fingernails. I take the brush (soft), lather and start to clean nogotochki. Bristles penetrate deep enough under the nail; important not to rub too vigorously: so you can put yourself microtrauma, which can then become a macro painful blisters.
I'll be glad your fingers up. I'm waiting for you to visit on your new site "4 SEASONS Ogorodnikov". All love and embrace, until we meet again!
