Nail Fungus - Ugh

Nail fungus (onychomycosis) is most often seen as a white or yellow spot under the nail. Not to be confused with athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), which infects the areas between your toes and the skin of your feet. Nail fungus can also affect fingernails, but it is more common in toenails.
As the nail fungal infection progresses deeper, it may cause your nail to discolor, thicken, and crumble at the edge. It can also affect several of your nails.
Not sure how you contracted a nail fungus infection? Here are some common causes:
  • Sharing nail clippers with others
  • Walking barefoot in public showers or locker rooms
  • Visiting a nail salon that does not sterilize their instruments
  • Not keeping your nails clean and dry
If your nail fungus is painful and has caused thickened nails, medications may help. But even if treatment is successful, nail fungus often returns. Here are some symptoms of nail fungus. It is time to take action if one or more of your nails are:
  • Distorted in shape
  • Foul-smelling
  • Brittle, crumbly, or ragged
  • Thickened
  • A dark color, caused by debris building up under your nail
  • Whitish to yellow-brown discoloration
Fungal nail infections are unsightly. If you want to be rid of this condition by Summer, check out our special promotion below!

Coconut - naturally anti-bacterial

Coconut oil has powerful anti-bacterial and antifungal properties, which means it may help fight bad breath and gingivitis. One study showed that swishing with coconut oil (aka oil pulling) for 10 minutes reduced bacteria in the mouth as well as antiseptic mouthwash; another found that daily coconut gargling can reduce inflammation and plaque in participants with gingivitis. Moisturizing skin Thanks to its fatty acids, coconut oil is very moisturizing, and it’s safe to use on your body and face for all skin types. It absorbs quickly and gives off a more glowy, dewy effect compared to traditional lotion. The pleasant tropical scent doesn’t hurt, either—you’ll be using it as lip balm before you know it! Keep in mind, coconut oil is comedogenic, so it's not recommended for acne-prone skin.

Your Healthy Feet - Clean and Dry Every Day

If your feet are challenged by peeling or callused skin or odor, give them the TLC they deserve. Your feet spend most of every day trapped inside a pair of shoes. All the moisture and sweat provides fertile ground for bacteria to grow, and the spaces between your toes are even more hospitable for bacteria and fungi. When you don't wash your feet, you're letting that stuff accumulate from day to day. That leads to unpleasant foot odor -- and eventually to fungal infections and other skin problems. You don't need a special foot wash to clean your feet. Just make sure you give them a thorough soaping, especially between your toes. After your shower, it's equally important to dry your feet (between the toes again) to prevent trapped moisture from letting all that bacteria hang around. Foot powder can keep them dryer longer, too.  For areas that are dry, apply a quality moisturizer, but avoid applying lotion between the toes. Keep that skin dry. If you do have a mor...
