How to Properly Trim Your Toenails

  • Prior Cleansing: Clean at least each day for good sanitation. The toes are either in or close to the ground. This makes them highly impervious to touch harmful microbes and fungi. Cleaning your feet extensively also ensures that your instruments don’t slide away and you can see the nail corner explicitly.
  • Cut Straight Across: To mitigate unpleasant toenails, trimmed the toenails right across. This will keep toenail growing forward. This is simplest to do in two cuts.
  • File Sharp Edges: File the nails using any good filer (electric or manual) to balance any sharp corners that might scoop up the nail as it continues to grow. This also guarantees that you don’t end up leaving a nail spurt to develop into the skin, causing an uncomfortable overbite toenail.
