We make baths with nail salt

Beautiful and strong nails are an indicator not only of health and a proper lifestyle, but also of competent care for them. And it is not at all necessary for this to use expensive products or visit beauty salons. There are very simple ways to restore nail plates. For example, medicinal baths with salt.

Salt baths prevent delamination, brittleness and brittleness of nails, promote the growth and strengthening of the horny plates. Since salt has a pronounced antiseptic effect, it prevents the appearance of fungus (onychomycosis). It's not for nothing that saline has been used for centuries as a food preservative. It creates unfavorable conditions for the reproduction of pathogenic microbes.

But often you cannot take salt baths. As a preventive measure, they can be periodically used at weekly intervals. If the procedures are carried out for medicinal purposes, then they must be performed within 10 days, then take a break of 1 month and repeat everything.

• Immerse your fingertips in the solution. The time depends on the purpose of the event and varies from 10 to 30 minutes.If the procedure is performed for a therapeutic purpose, then such manipulations should be repeated every day until the symptoms of the disease pass.

• In order for the active substances of a useful solution to quickly penetrate into living tissues, fingers need to be massaged.
• After bathing, hands should be dried with a towel and applied with a fat cream, mask or olive oil. If the nails are affected by a fungus, then after the procedure they must be treated with an antifungal drug.
