We've all been caught at some point in our lives with our fingers in our mouth, either nipping at a hang nail with our teeth or tearing at the skin on our fingers. Well next time, think before you put those fingers near your lips. Biting your nails or skin is just asking for germs and bacteria. Not only does it look awful and embarrassing (coming from a former nail biter) but it is hazardous to our health.

Don't neglect your feet just because it isn't sandal season. During the cold winter months, the blood moves away from the outer limbs, such as the fingers and toes, in order to maintain a constant body temperature. The skin on the hands and feet can become excessively dry causing cracking and splitting.
