Why Nails Become Weak
Nails can become brittle from frequent water exposure, harsh chemicals, or nutrient gaps. The nail plate loses moisture and flexibility, leading to peeling and splitting.
Daily Habits for Stronger Nails
Wear gloves when washing dishes or using cleaners. Apply a nail hardener with keratin or biotin, and avoid acetone-based removers. Keep nails trimmed short to reduce breakage.
Nutrition and Hydration
Eat protein-rich foods, eggs, and leafy greens to support keratin production. Drink enough water and consider a balanced multivitamin. For more guidance, visit the American Academy of Dermatology at aad.org.
