Step 1: Stop biting your nails even if you have the habit of doing it every now and then.

Step 2: If you have rough cuticles, moisturise it, preferably with a nutrient-rich essential oil.

Step 3: Consume a diet that is rich in proteins. Your nail is made up of keratin, the same protein as your hair is made of. So, the food that works for your hair, should work for your nails too like eggs, lean meat or whole grains.

This recipe involves only two ingredients that are lemon juice and almond oil. Yes, you read that right!

Lemon juice is loaded with citric acid, which strengthens the nail, lightens nail discolouration and boosts nail growth.

Almond oil, on the other hand, is a rich source of essential fatty acids, minerals and vitamins that softens the cuticles, gives the nail its natural shine and adds strength.
