Our tip: Aloe vera strengthens and deeply nourishes the nails through the cuticle. To get the most out of its benefits, we recommend a simple mixture:
Mix three tablespoons of our pure gel with two tablespoons of olive oil. Mix both ingredients well and add two crushed garlic cloves. Apply this mixture on your nails and let it sit for 20 minutes, three times a week. Finally, rinse with plenty of water and a neutral soap for optimal results.
Garlic helps prevent mycosis and infections, while olive oil keeps free radicals at bay, thanks to the antioxidants and fatty acids it contains. It also counteracts the effects of pollution and multiplies the action of aloe vera.
Aloe vera to treat nail fungus
Onychomycosis, a fungal nail infection, is a common and persistent condition. It is characterized by a change in the color of the nail, which usually turns yellow or brown, as well as deformation and thickening. Occasionally, affected nails also tend to weaken and break easily, especially at the edges. To address this condition, it is essential to keep the hands or feet dry and avoid damp environments that favor fungal growth.
Upon detection of onychomycosis, it is recommended to consult a doctor or podiatrist to obtain the appropriate medication. On the other hand and as you well know, aloe vera, known for its fungicidal properties, can complement the treatment and serve as a preventive measure. Thanks to its antibacterial and antiseptic properties, aloe vera on the nails is a perfect ally to regenerate them.
Our tip: To benefit from its benefits, you can prepare a mixture:
Combine two tablespoons of pure aloe vera gel with five drops of tea tree oil. Apply this mixture on the nail once a day, preferably after showering.
Aloe for ingrown toenails
Ingrown toenails are often uncomfortable. This condition can arise due to improper footwear, improper nail trimming or, in some cases, genetic factors, which causes the nail to become embedded in the surrounding skin. It can cause pain, irritation and redness. If you experience any of these symptoms, see a podiatrist, who can address the problem professionally. In addition, using aloe vera for ingrown toenails will alleviate discomfort and speed up the healing process.
Our tip: Aloe vera is known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties and can speed up the healing and regeneration process.
To benefit from this treatment, soak your feet in warm water with sea salt for about ten minutes and then dry them carefully. Apply a small amount of aloe vera gel to the nail and leave it on for about 20 minutes. In addition, to prevent future ingrown nails, it is advisable to gently file the nail surface.
