"What tips/advice would you give to stop nail biting?"
I really wish I had the perfect answer for you! Nail biting is a hard habit to break. You should try to first determine the reason for the nail biting - which might mean seeing a dermatologist. Also, keep in mind the germs/bacteria you're passing back and forth between your nails/fingers and your mouth and the potential of infection!
I asked my friend Shalon, who is a licensed esthetician and manicurist, to share her best tips for preventing nail biting:
- Try to get weekly manicures. Keeping your nails neat and groomed may prevent you from trying to "groom" them yourself.
- If weekly manicures aren't in your budget, keep your nails polished. Knowing that you will mess up your polish may keep you from biting your nails.
- Keep a cuticle cream or oil (Kiehl's Cuticle Cream or OPI's Cuticle Oil) in your purse. This will help with nail growth. Once you see growth, hopefully this will discourage you from biting your nails.
I hope this helps. Please stop back by and let us know how you choose to move forward, as well as what works for you. Love your nails.
