Most common questions used to investigate
Do you moisturize your nails?
Are you taking supplements like biotin and fish oil?
Do you cut your cuticles?
Are you getting acrylic nails?
Common conclusions
Just as with skin, it is necessary to protect the humidity in your nails for both men and women. You should try dabbing almond, jojoba or avocado oil on your nail beds and cuticles before going to sleep to prevent them from becoming dry, brittle, or flaky. Vaseline is also a good moisturizer so you should rub a small amount of petroleum jelly into your cuticle and the skin surrounding your nails every evening before you go to bed or whenever your nails feel dry.
Biotin supplements claim to give you better hair, skin and nails. You should start taking Biotin because being deficient in biotin can cause brittle nails. Biotin-rich food may also help strengthen your brittle fingernails so you shoud start eating more organ meats, eggs, seeds, nuts, etc. You should start taking fish oil supplements too, because your nails will become stronger and less brittle. You should eat more salmon, tuna, sardines, etc.
You should stop cutting your cuticles. Instead, add a cuticle-removing solution to the perimeter of your nail pad, and then use the flat tip of an orange stick or cuticle pusher to force your cuticle out. Then, to expose a hangnail-free, clean-looking nail bed, gently scrape the free-up dead skin with a tissue or the softest side of a buffing block.
Great! Acrylic nails are bad for your nails' health.
You should avoid getting acrylic nails and opt for press-ons instead.
