Increase Your Fingernail Growth

Most of us battle with our fingernail growth, I am always being asked "how do I grow my fingernails faster?" and the most common question is "how do I make my fingernails stronger?"

Your fingernails health certainly has a lot to do with healthy eating and taking the right vitamins and minerals, but this does not necessarily mean you will be able to grow long strong fingernails.

By having a healthy diet you will definitely have healthy fingernails glowing a lovely pink color, but you may still struggle with weak fingernails and nails breaking when they get to a certain length.

There are a few small things you can do to help increase your fingernails growth and strength, and along with healthy eating you will have beautiful fingernails.

First, the most important supplement you need to take is biotin; this tiny little supplement will help produce the most amazing results. You need to take it for a few months before you will notice a difference, but notice a difference you will. Biotin will help thicken your fingernails and make them stronger.

Biotin will also help thicken your hair so you will be looking absolutely fabulous in no time.

Next, you want to keep your nails hydrated, a lot of the nail problems can happen because fingernails are desperate for moisture, in other words your fingernails are really, really thirsty and this thirst is causing them to dry out, split and cause cracked nails.

Drink plenty of water, this is very important and not just for your nails, your hair and skin will benefit.

Massage your fingernails and cuticles daily, give your cuticles a natural exfoliate using olive oil and sugar. It is important to keep your cuticles in good condition as this will help your fingernail growth.

Rub garlic over your fingernails daily, this will help give you strong fingernails.

Fill up an old nail polish bottle with sunflower oil, olive oil, almond oil, avocado oil, or flax seed oil and brush onto your fingernails at least 3 times a day.

Any of these oils will help your fingernails retain moisture, so they are more flexible and less inclined to split or break. Put the nail polish bottle in a pot of boiling water to clean it out.

Have you ever bought an expensive hand and nail cream and wondered why you still have the same nail problems?

This is because of all the chemicals being shoved into the product, not only is it cheaper for companies to use chemicals, they also dry out your hands and fingernails doing the exact opposite of what they are intended for.

If you are going to be spending a lot of time out doors, always put sunscreen on your hands and fingernails. Don't just put it on in the morning and expect it to last all day, put a sunscreen in your handbag so you are always ready to put on more.

Anti aging is also about keeping your hands and fingernails looking young, as this part of your body is always exposed to the elements, and the first to show signs of aging.
