Khaberni - Jolie magazine, which focuses on health and beauty, mentioned that trimming nails with a file has many benefits; it prevents nails from cracking and splitting, and shields against injuries on the one hand, and protects nails from infections such as fungal infections on the other.
The magazine clarified that it is necessary to use a suitable file such as a glass, crystal, or hardened paper file with a grain count ranging between 180 and 240 grains, while avoiding metal files; as they may damage the nails.
To prevent nail splitting, it is also important to file the nails in one direction and not back and forth, and it is preferred to file from the outer edge towards the center.
It is also important to file the nails gently and evenly, avoiding heavy pressure on the nail to prevent damage. Only the surface of the nail should be managed without penetrating it.
After using the file, it is necessary to care for the nails with a hand cream or nail oil that is rich in moisturizing substances.
