It is important for most people to have clear toenails for cosmetic reasons. However, don't forget about the importance of getting your nails healthy. Try these little tips for getting healthy nails and preventing fungal infections from occurring.
- Wear dry cotton socks, and change them two or three times a day if necessary.
- Wear dry shoes that allow air to circulate around your feet (tight, enclosed, moist shoes contribute to fungal toenail infections).
- Wear shower sandals or shower shoes when you are at a public pool or shower.
- Don't share shoes or socks with others.
- Don't share nail clippers or nail files with others. You may want to purchase a personal pedicure kit for yourself, like the one pictured above. It includes several items including, all natural tea tree and lavender essential oil, a nail brush, a nail file, pummace sponge, toe separators, orange stick, sliding tray case for all tools and is available through our product store.
- Try not to injure your nail, such as by cutting it too short (trauma to the nail may lead to infections).
