How to trim nails for the elderly

How do you care & trim nails for the elderly 

First just knowing basic nail care for your elderly Mum or Dad’s nails can prevent further problems. Most common problems range from thick nails, brittleness, split or cracked nails. Also pinched and curved toenails. As well as dryness and redness of hands or feet.

Basic tips on caring for their hands and feet

  • Keep hands and in particular feet clean and dry
  • Check regularly for changes in their nails
  • Be aware which medication can cause nail disorders
  • Regular nail trimming for the elderly is important
  • Also weekly hands and feet massage to promote circulation
  • Daily moisturising is needed if dryness is due to medications
  • Change socks every day and encourage good supportive and fitted footwear 
  • Encourage 4 to 6 weeks regular seniors mani’s or pedi’s
  • Recommend a yearly checkup with a Podiatrist

What’s the correct way to trim elderly nails 

Preferably when nails are dry try cut them straight across. If nails are extremely thick then try soaking about 10 minutes first. Thick, ingrown, curving nails should always be cut straight across. It can sometimes be easier to do 2 or 3 small trims instead of one big one.

Nail clippers are good for large nails or reasonably healthy nails . Where clippers can be more helpful for difficult or mishaped nails.  If your Mum or Dad aren’t well enough to go out consider a monthly Mobile Manicure or Pedicure

how to trim nails for the elderly

Basic nail disorders for hands and feet 

  1. Thick toenails are very common in elderly because as we age our nails thicken. From fungal infections to skin conditions. As well as injuries or tight-fitting shoes are common causes of this nail disorder in the elderly. Trimming thickened nails may need 10 minutes soaking first. Then using your nail clippers by doing 1 – 3 small clips. Always file them straight across
  2. Brittle, Split or Cracked Nails  When toenails thicken they can also tend to become discoloured, brittle and cracked. Applying a good quality or natural moisturiser daily will help.  Also try the occasional hand treatments or foot treatments. With either nail clippers or nippers gently trim and file straight across.
  3. Pincher or Trumpet nails can be caused by fungal infection, skin diseases, medications or mainly arthritic changes. It’s probably a good idea to have a Podiatrist or Nail Technician cut them correctly first. But ideally you need to cut them in the corner with nippers. Then file them straight across here’s how. To maintain every week file the corner of the nail and file straight across
  4. Curvature nails this type of nail disorder it can be caused from genetics, nail trauma or diet. As well as incorrect nail trimming or tight shoes. You need to cut in a straight line, not too short and on a regular basis

One simple home beauty tip – reduces wrinkles, boosts nail growth

What simple, healthy beauty tip helps wrinkles, firms skin & strengthen nails

A simple beauty tip that does it all a daily dose of Collagen. It helps soften fine lines and strengthen weak nails. As well as thickens hair, reduce bone loss and boosts muscle mass. 

Well re-knowned wholistic plastic surgeon Dr Anthony Youn says. Results from clinical trials has shown Collagen improves up to 60% moisture and tone of your skin. Go for top quality Collagen supplements with Verisol as the main ingredient.

As we get older you find you start adding serums and night creams. By taking a a daily Collagen supplement you can reduce all these extra beauty treatments

Which Collagen type gives you a glowing skin, nails and hair

Collagen type 1 & 3 is for skin, hair, nails and bones. Minimizes fines lines. Improves dryness, increases elasticity. Slows hair loss and helps correct weak nails. Also helps bone structure and build lean muscle. 

Whereas collagen 2 is for joints and cartilage. Increases protein and collagen for knees, back, jaw and joints

What vital ingredients should be in your Collagen supplement

Verisol should be the main ingredient in your Collagen supplements. Studies show that Verisol can slow the natural process of sagging skin. Which leads to less wrinkles, sagging skin and lack of moisture. 

Also include Hydraulic Acid which helps plumpen up your skin. Add on Biotin for brittle nails and hair loss. Include all 3 ingredients for the best results. Also check out which 3 skincare anti-ageing ingredients give the best results 

You can easily take Collagen in the form of tablets, liquid or powder. By using the powder you can also add it to smoothies, muffins, cereal or coffee.  Best to purchase a flavourless powder

simple home beauty tip

Another great home beauty tip that Beauty Salons use

Is Micro-Needling your skin. It can help increase collagen and thicken your skin. Also soften fine lines and wrinkles. As well as decrease acne scarring.

But you can do it at home easily. By purchasing a  0.5mm – 2.5mm Micro -Needle Roller. With its very fine needles it prickles the top layer of your skin. This helps your moisturisers and serums penetrate deeper into your skin. Up to 10000 more times into the depth of your skin. Which means your skincare product works much more effectively. 

Simple to use 1 – 3 times a week. After moisturiseing roll your Micro-Needler in different direction. Some redness may occur for a short period so do at night. Wonderful for smoothing lines and improving skin texture. Dont use over any redness or infected areas

Or whether you have wide or narrow nail. Will determine which is best for you. For  the best professional salon, mobile or home manicure tips on longer lasting manicure. 

For Short and Slim Fingers 

If your hands are on the small but petite side. Then you want then to stand out a bit more. Especially if you have a small nail base. Try going for an Almond, Round or Oval shape. Or other pointy nail shapes.

Now the best nail colours to make your nails longer are Nude to Yellowish Beige or Pale to Peachy Pink . Or if you already have long nails try Metallics or Bright colours

Nail Shaping for Home Manicure

For Short and Wide Fingers

For hands that are still small but wide fingers. Espeically if you have a wide nail base you will want them to look more slender. Go for more rounded shapes like Oval, Round or Squoval. If your nails are really short you might consider fake nails. Acrylics or Gel tips are great for a special occasion

Going for Nail colours that are a matching your shade of your skin will elongate your hands. You can’t go wrong with Nudes, Beige, Caramel or Toffees. Or if that’s to boring just stay away from bright colours for your next Manicure

For Long and Slim Fingers

Those with lovely long and thin fingers you need a wider shape. Just about any nail shape will suit your hand size. Try going Rounded, Almond, Square or Squoval. Knowing the right nail shape will really make your home manicure look professional and fantastic

Nails colours like Metallics Silver or Gold and Neon Orange or Pinks look fantastic . Ageing hands should stick with Pearly Whites or Metallic Pinks. For very dry hands Collagen Hand Treatments really leave your hands silky soft 

For Long and Wide Fingers

Neutral tones will give your fingers a longer slender look. Like Nude Beiges or Pinkish Nude. If you love your dark colours then leave 3 or 4mm from the side of the nail. This will create a slimmer nail look.

Did you know Summer causes more Back Pain

Main causes of Back Pain in Summer 

Traveling – Back pain can be caused by sitting in a car for long hours. Or sleeping on a different mattress or pillow. 

Sporting Events and Activities – Sitting on stadium seats for long periods. Walking and standing for long hours at Amusement Parks

Summer thongs and Strappy dressesWearing flat thongs doesn’t give your poor back any support. Or wearing those pretty summer strappy tops or dresses without a bra is not ideal. Especially if your a cup C or higher this can cause you constant back pain

Gardening – Being hunched over gardening for hours wont help your back either 

back-pain-massage-brisbane

Solutions for Back Pain when Traveling

If you’re sitting for long hours make sure you take a break frequently and stretch. A rolled up towel is very helpful for your neck or lower back. Just roll up it up very tightly and secure with at least 6 rubber bands. Also to prevent further back pain I always use my favourite spikey massage ball it works wonders. Fantastic if your Pregnant just position between your back and the car seat. Then just roll up and down for your own mini Pregnancy Massage 

As well sleeping at relatives or hotels on a different mattress can play havoc with your back. If a mattress is too hard, then easy just put some blankets or quilts over the mattress. For soft mattresses you could try a few more rolled up towels. Otherwise last resort might just be the floor.

I never go anywhere without my own Hilton Memory Foam Contour Pillow. I need a very firm pillow and mattress. So if the pillow your lying on is too soft use a rolled up towel for under your neck it will definitely help. But if you wake up with a stiff neck or back pain now is a good time book yourself a Mobile Massage 

Sporting Events and Gardening be aware

If you find sitting for Sporting Events for long periods causes back pain then bring something along for support. If you can bring your own fold up chair, pillow, tightly roll up towel or spikey massage ball. Of course get up often as you can and walk around and stretch.

Going to Amusement parks walking long hours, you need to take breaks. Standing in a queue if it takes too long maybe just give it a miss. Or take turns waiting in lines. Also watch your neck in some of those super fast rides like a the roller coasters.

Be careful gardening in the same position for long particularly if you already suffer with lower back pain. Vary what you do from weeding, planting or raking, So your constantly changing positions. If you do pull a muscle rest as soon as possible with heat or cold and muscle cream. Or get yourself booked in for a Deep Tissue Massage

back-pain-massage-brisbane

Summer Thongs and Strappy Tops you need Back Support there too

Make sure you have thick supportive thongs. Otherwise don’t walk for long hours in thin thongs. Sinking into those thin thongs puts extra pressure on your back and legs.

Even wearing thin strappy dresses or tops without a bra is no good for your back. If you’re a C cup or more make sure you always wear a supportive bra for preventive back pain.  You should have medium to thick straps with no gaps between your cups and chest. Also your bra should not be digging into your skin but sitting comfortably. 

Years of not wearing a supportive bra can cause Chronic Back pain.  Try Remedial Massage combined with Chinese Cupping for Chronic areas. For in between Massages  use your spikey Massage balls

Collagen Manicure the Best Treatment – For Dry Cuticles or Hands

So how does a Collagen Manicure help you’re Dry or Aging or Hands?

When you have Collagen Manicure Treatment included is nourishing Collagen Gloves. Which deeply penetrate the skin, hydrates and smooths out wrinkles. 

Collagen basically is the glue that holds the body together. Making it’s so vital for our skin and bones. So whether you suffer from dry cuticles, chapped dry hands or aging hands.  At the end of your Collagen Manicure your hands will feel amazingly soft.

One of the best moisturising Gloves is Voesh Collagen Gloves. It’s full of Phyto Collagen (this type of Collagen helps with external environment like the Sun and Pollution). As well as Vitamin E and Peppermint. Which also give such great results for ageing hands

Why Collagen is so vital for our skin?

Basically its the stuff that holds our body together It’s made up protein and elastin in your skin, muscles, tendons and bones.  As we age naturally our Collagen production slows down. By increasing your Collagen you help fight wrinkles and fine lines. Also keeps your skin nice, plump and hydrated. 

[CBOX_PRO id=14700]

As we age its recommended to take Collagen supplements. Not only does it soften and smooth out your skin but also strengthens your nails and hair. When you have your Collagen Mobile Manicure a great way to keep up your after home care is buy some Collagen Gloves for home. You could even leave your gloves on as long as possible or overnight if your hands are very dry.

What’s included in our Collage Mobile Manicure?

We start with applying  your gloves and massaging the collagen into the cuticles. Then we pull the tips off the gloves and shape your nails. Next we push your cuticles back. Then we apply your favourite polish. Followed by more massage for your  hands and leaving the gloves on until your polish is dries.

Another fantastic Hand treatment with your manicure for dry hands is Paraffin Wax. By covering your hands with warm wax and hand gloves. The wax is very softening on the hands and the warmth of the heat is good for the joints. 

Oh and we haven’t forgotten about your poor feet. If you do suffer with dry feet too you could also try a Collagen Pedicure. Or if they are very calloused or cracked we have many foot treatments available

By following pathways of the body called Meridans. The Chinese have 12 general Meridans which each focus on important organs of the body. The Hand Yin Meridans (heart, lung and pericardium) flows down to the hands. The Hand Yang Meridians (small intestine, large intestine and triple burner ) flows back up to the head 

Then the Leg Yang Meridians (bladder, stomach, and gallbladder) flows down to the feet. While Leg Yin Meridians (kidney, spleen, or liver) back up to the chest area
