Women Skin Care and Beauty

Some people are born with brittle nails, and others’ lose strength as they get older, but experts are unsure exactly why this occurs. And while nails need certain vitamins, minerals and protein, most people get the essentials from their diet.
But there are simple things you can do to keep your beauty and healthy nails :

Avoid wraps and artificial nails. While wearing them doesn’t make nails weak, peeling them off does; it removes layers of natural nail.

Use polish remover no more than once weekly. All polish removers (even the non-acetone variety) contain strong solvents that can dry out nails if used too frequently – particularly if yours are already fragile.

Apply polish that’s good for your nails. Nail color that contains ingredients like fluoride, protein and calcium may help keep nails strong, according to manufacturer studies.

Brush on clear hardeners or strengtheners. These help protect nails and fill in week spots.

Massage in hand cream. Creams help trap moisture, act as a barrier and replace lost oils, making nails more flexible.

File trouble spots. This keeps splits or jagged edges from catching and tearing, which can make the problem worse.
