🦶 Prevent nail fungus: 7 simple habits to adopt

Nail fungus affects many people and is often difficult to treat once established.
👉 The good news? With a few simple daily actions, it is possible to significantly reduce the risks and maintain healthy nails.

Here are 7 effective habits to adopt now.


1. Wear breathable shoes

Breathable shoes

Humidity is the best ally of fungi responsible for mycosis.
Choose shoes airy and breathable (canvas sneakers, sandals, perforated leather, etc.) to limit perspiration and keep your feet dry.


2. Dry your feet thoroughly after showering

Dry your feet with a towel

After showering or bathing, always dry your feet carefully, especially between the toes.
👉 Residual moisture creates an ideal breeding ground for mushrooms.


3. Wear clean cotton socks

Cotton socks

Choose cotton socks or natural fibers, which allow the skin to breathe better.
Change them every day (and more often if you sweat a lot).


4. Alternate your shoes

Don't wear the same pair two days in a row. Leave them ventilate and dry before putting them back on, especially after a hot or sporty day.


5. Cut and maintain your nails regularly

Cleanly cut nails

Keep your nails clean and well cut.
👉 Use your own nail clippers and do not share them, to avoid contamination.


6. Avoid walking barefoot in public places

In swimming pools, changing rooms or shared showers, always wear flip flops or sandals.
These damp places are nests for fungi and mycoses are easily transmitted there.


7. Nourish and protect your nails regularly

Natural foot care

Regularly apply a natural care helps strengthen the nails and protect them against external aggressions.
