(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 16, 2009 ) Milwaukee, WI. Dr. Chris Milkie, of Mayfair Foot Clinic, gave advice for having healthy feet. He explained "if you have long desired healthy, strong, and beautiful toenails, then you have come to the right place! Believe it or not, there are some simple and straightforward tips that can help you achieve the beautiful toenails that you have always dreamed of. The first step to beautiful toenails is surveying the nails you already have. Are they discolored or flaky? If so, then you should consider a visit to your local podiatrist, as you could be suffering from an unsightly an unsightly and unwanted condition such as toenail fungus, and could benefit from laser treatment. Otherwise, if your nails seem healthy, you can feel free to proceed with learning good foot care by these simple and practical toenail beauty tips."
1. Keep Your Feet Dry. One of the best secrets to beautiful and healthy toenails is to keep your feet as dry as possible at all times. Wearing clean, dry socks, and changing your socks immediately after working out can achieve this. Excess moisture in your feet can not only encourage unwanted foot problems such as toenail fungus, but can also cause your toenails to become weaker and start to peel. One of the best methods of achieving beautiful toenails is to ensure that they are strong. After that, everything else will fall into place.
2. Polishes and Treatments. There are no proven scientific methods to grow nails rapidly. However, there are some excellent treatments on the market that encourage nail growth; and furthermore, these great products encourage healthy nail growth. Brands like Sally Hansen and OPI offer products that help to speed up the growing process, and also encourage nail strength and reduce chipping and peeling. Layer their products under the colored nail polishes, and you will see healthier nails after a few months of usage.
3. Prevention, Prevention, Prevention. One of the best ways to achieve healthy and beautiful toenails is to prevent problems like toenail fungus or warts from happening. The best way (besides keeping your feet clean and dry) is to wear shower shoes or flip flops when using public facilities such as gym locker rooms or hotel bathrooms. These moist, high traffic facilities can be a great hotbed for viruses such as toenail fungus and the human papilloma virus, HPV, which causes unsightly plantar warts.
Dr. Milkie concluded "as you can see, the secrets to healthy toenails will not require you to invest in hundreds of dollars worth of beauty products! Indeed, the secret lies in these basic, common sense practices."
