Beauty Tips: How to cut toenails correctly

Pain, discomfort and an unsightly puss filled swelling all resemble one thing - the incorrect trimming of toenails.

In order to prevent your toenails from growing into the surrounding skin tissue - a common condition medically referred to as an ingrown toenail - always cut your nails straight across, ideally using toenail clippers, prior to carefully smoothing and rounding the corners via an emery board.

Not only will this simple but effective trimming technique prevent the pain and discomfort associated with incorrectly cut nails, it will also encourage your toenails to regrow into the same shape once they begin to regain their length.
