Keeping Nails Fresh and Healthy During the Monsoon Rains

During the rainy season, the air is full of extra moisture.

Wet and damp conditions can make our nails weak and sick.

Tiny germs called fungus love damp places and can infect our nails.

An infected nail can change colour, become thick, and turn brittle.

Wet nails can also grow into the skin, which hurts and causes redness.

To stay healthy, we should keep our nails dry, especially our toes.

Rubbing coconut oil or hand cream into nails before bed keeps them strong and soft.

Wearing open shoes and changing shoes each day helps feet stay dry.

Cutting toenails short and using anti-fungal powder can stop infections.

Some nail polishes have chemicals that are not good for nails, so water-based polishes are safer.
