Lesson Overview

1.5 – Nail and Skin Hygiene: Fingernails and skin tell a silent story about your health and habits. Keeping nails trimmed, filed, and clean prevents dirt, bacteria, and painful breaks. Washing hands often stops germs from spreading and keeps skin smooth and healthy. Moisturizing protects against dryness and cracks, especially in cold or dry weather. Proper care also prevents infections like hangnails or fungus. Using your own clippers and sanitizing them reduces risks from shared tools. Healthy skin supports confidence because touch—like a handshake—feels pleasant and clean. Taking time each week for nail and skin care is simple prevention that saves discomfort later. It teaches attention to detail, patience, and body respect. When your skin glows and nails look cared for, you send the message that you value hygiene, health, and self-presentation equally.
