Basic Nail Care

* Wash hands with mild soap, using a nailbrush.

* Soak the hands in warm water for a few minutes to soften the cuticles (the bits of skin at the bottom of the nails).

* Very gently push back the cuticles if they are long and ragged.

* Trim the nails to the same length, cutting off any snaggy or spiky bits.

* File the ends of the nails to smooth them off.

* If your hands are dry, apply some hand cream (it doesn't have to be the girly stuff that stinks of flowers, lads).
