Healthy nails and feet are built through small daily habits. Here's an easy routine to follow.
Morning
Clean, dry feet
After showering, dry your feet thoroughly, especially between the toes.
Fresh socks and shoes
Choose clean, breathable socks and well-fitting shoes, and rotate pairs so they can dry out. Take your AppaNail supplement as directed.
During the day
Protect your hands
Wear gloves for dishes and cleaning to avoid brittle, peeling nails.
Change damp socks
If your feet sweat, change socks during the day.
Eat for nails
Include protein, colourful fruit and vegetables, nuts and seeds.
Evening
Moisturise
Apply a rich cream to heels and cuticles, but not between the toes.
Trim correctly
Once a week or so, trim nails straight across and gently file sharp edges.
Check your feet
Look for changes in colour, thickness or skin, especially if you have diabetes.
