1. The best time to trim your nails is immediately after taking a bath. If it is not possible then soak your nails in lukewarm water for a few minutes to soften them.
2. Use a nail clipper for your fingernails and don’t forget to disinfect your tools regularly.
3. Smooth rough edges using a nail emery board.
4. It is important to avoid cutting your cuticles. When you cut your cuticles then it is easier for germs to get inside your body causing an infection.
5. Moisturize after trimming to help keep your nails flexible.

Overall, nails are a reflection of our health. So, keep an eye on your nails, and if you notice a change in the colour, texture or shape of the nail, consult a certified dermatologist immediately.
