My Toenails are Discoloured. How Can I Get Sandal-ready?
This can occur due to fungal infection, trauma or other genetic conditions. Before taking any step to take care of your skin, you may consult a healthcare professional.
If you know that the discoloration is not due to any disease, you can try any tips for making your toenails sandal-ready.
Soak Your Feet
Dip your feet in the warm water. It helps soften your toenails and makes it easier to trim them. Epsom salt and mild soap are used to remove dead cells from the skin. When you add these in this process, it disinfects your nails.
Trim Your Nails
Use a clean, sharp nail cutter to trim your toenails. Avoid cutting them too short or rounding the edges, as this can increase the risk of ingrown toenails.
Buff Your Toenails
Use a nail buffer to gently smoothen the surface of the toenails and remove any surface stains or discolouration.
Moisturise Your Feet
Apply a moisturising lotion to your feet to help keep your skin soft and prevent dryness and cracking.
Apply Nails Polish
Apply the clear nail polish to your nails and cover any discolouration or stains with that. And use a nail polish free from harmful chemicals, like toluene and formaldehyde.
Make sure to clean your toenails daily, wear clean socks, and avoid shoes for some days to help your cells breathe.
