Having beautiful toes can make you feel confident and comfortable wearing open shoes, slippers, or even bare feet. It is quite easy to make your feet look attractive, but dirty nails can definitely ruin the whole look. More important than just for appearance’s sake, you’ll need to keep your toenails clean for hygiene purposes.
You can get your toenails dirty if you often keep your toes in socks, tights, or tights. Moisture can get trapped inside shoes and socks, making toenails prone to fungus and bacteria. And your feet can smell bad too, but that’s for another article.
Here are five easy steps to help you keep your toenails clean:
1. Wash your feet. Every time you return home, you bring dirt and bacteria from wherever you went with you. Do not think that by wearing shoes your feet and toenails are safe from bacteria. Take off your shoes and socks and let your feet sit for several minutes before washing them. Use lukewarm water to wash. To make sure your feet are free from fungus, you can use apple cider vinegar to wash your feet.
2. Use a soft brush to clean your toenails. Dirt and bacteria can get stuck in the corners of your nails. Use a soft brush so you don’t hurt yourself where the skin might be sensitive. Use an antiseptic soap to help get rid of bacteria and prevent fungus from growing. Do this regularly and not just when you return from outside.
3. Trim your toenails regularly to keep them short. Your feet are always exposed to elements that can make them dirty, like mud, water, and dust. The best natural way to keep your toenails clean is to keep them short to prevent the buildup of dirt and bacteria under your nails, which can be difficult to clean over time. Long toenails are also at risk of accidental chipping or breaking, and that can be painful.
4. You can use a nail file to clean your nails and not just file or trim them. A pointed cleaning bar can be used to clean the tips and corners of the toenails. It is better to do it after washing to facilitate the excavation of dried dirt. Just be careful not to apply too much pressure that you can break your nails.
5. Moisturize your nails. Moisturizing your nails keeps them strong against chipping and cracking. Make sure you also rub moisturizer into your cuticles, as this will help your nails grow stronger.
