Do your nails constantly break or peel? Has it been interfering negatively with your self-esteem and everyday life?

We understand how stressful that can be and know we are here to help.

CAUSES FOR BRITTLE NAILS

Sometimes this nail condition can be avoided with basic knowledge on what can damage and impair nail health. That may include:

  • Excessive Washing

  • Excessive Drying

  • Harsh Dish Soaps

  • Harsh Nail Polish Remover

  • Harsh Household Cleaners

  • Onychoschizia Condition

  • Iron Deficiency

  • Hypothyroidism

  • Raynaud's Syndrome

  • Age

If you know by looking at the above list what is the cause of your brittle and weak nails, the best thing to do, is to stop doing. Now you must be thinking “Do they think I can simply stop washing dishes?” Of course not! We will only suggest practical alternatives like the ones below.

WHAT TO DO

  • Use gloves for Washing the Dishes

  • Moisturize your hand and nails

  • Keep Nails Short

  • Use Nail Polish Remover without Acetone

  • Talk to your Doctor About Supplementation (Biotin)

  • Follow a Healthy Diet

If applying the above solutions does not change the aspect of your nails after a while, consider talking to a doctor in order to find the underlying health condition. However, if this does fix your nail problem (which it should), let us know below!

We hope you enjoyed this article and we will be seeing you next time!
