Nails are essential protectors of our fingers, and healthy nails not only make us look more attractive but also contribute to the illusion of longer fingers when maintained at an appropriate length. However, excessively long nails can trap dirt, foster bacteria growth, hinder everyday hand movements, and even lead to nail breakage. Thus, regular and proper nail trimming is crucial for maintaining healthy nails.

Since nail growth varies from person to person, generally, it's advised to trim fingernails every two to three weeks and toenails every three to four weeks. Moreover, nails should not be trimmed too short, as this can lead to injury of the underlying skin and tissues, or even ingrown nails causing inflammation in the surrounding tissues, worsening into paronychia. How should nails be correctly trimmed? What are the key points to pay attention to? Let's debunk the myths of nail trimming and help you achieve both beautiful and healthy nails!

1. Develop a Healthy and Regular Nail-Care Routine

Nails are essential layers of protection for our fingertips. In modern times, due to aesthetic considerations, there's often a need for more advanced nail care. This section will guide you in establishing a healthy nail-trimming routine.
Firstly, nail length: Fingernails can be trimmed into a rounded shape, leaving about 1mm of white edge, which is appropriate. If there are hangnails, use cuticle scissors to gently trim them, avoiding direct pulling, as this can cause wounds. As for toenail length, nails that are too short might result in ingrown nails, and excessively long nails can be inconvenient during walking, prone to catching or breaking due to external impacts. Therefore, toenails should be maintained around 1mm to 2mm in length.

Next, nail-trimming frequency: The average person's nails grow about 2mm per month. It's recommended to trim fingernails every 2 to 3 weeks and toenails every 3 to 4 weeks. However, individuals engaged in jogging or regular exercise can adjust their trimming frequency based on their needs.
When is the best time to trim nails? Generally, it's advised after taking a shower, especially for tougher toenails. If you have naturally brittle or hard nails, or if you're dealing with nail freezing issues, post-shower is an ideal time to trim. After soaking in a bath or foot soak, the nails soften due to warm water, reducing the risk of nail cracking during trimming.
