Whilst doing one of my many browses of beauty websites I came across these interesting nail facts!
- Nails grow faster in the summer than in the winter.
- Men's nails grow faster than women's (except during pregnancy and later in life when growth increases).
- The nails on the hand you write with grow faster.
- The longer the finger, the faster your nail grows.
- After an illness, your nail growth increases.
- Malnutrition, crash dieting or eating disorders can affect your nails.
- Your nail growth rate is affected by condition, hormone imbalance and aging.
- Nail disorders make up about 10 percent of all skin conditions.
- The condition and color your nails may indicate an underlying condition/illness, so it is important to remove nail polish and check your nails periodically, particularly before your annual checkup so your doctor can examine your nails for signs of anything.
- Color or shape changes, swelling of the skin around the nails, white lines, ridges or dents in the nail that don't go away or nail pain are things that you may want to discuss with a physician.
