2. How to get healthy nails.....

Some tips: 1) Always cut your nails straight across. 2) Avoid polishing them, especially in this season, as nails turn rather brittle during this rainy season and tend to break easily. If you want to apply a nail paint, stick to lighter shades. Or, perhaps, you could go in for a nail hardener. 3) To keep fungal infections at bay, mix a few drops of tea tree oil into any oil and apply all over your hands. Rub it into your nails as well. 4) Peppermint oil is also very helpful to rejuvenate feet and hands.

3. Skincare in humid weather conditions

1) Use a clarifying facial wash or cleanser. This can help to unclog pores that are working overtime during the hotter months as skin sweats often. 2) Drink plenty of water. 3) Use an exfoliating scrub at least once per week to remove dull skin cells and increase circulation. 4) Use a light moisturizer with SPF protection on a daily basis. 5) Use an eye gel before bed. This can help reduce puffiness and any tenderness in the eye area. 6) Avoid direct sun exposure; not only will you get hotter, but your skin will be more at risk for sun damage.
