Nails are a fun part of our daily skin routine, but just like everything else, they can be a major source of stress. Our nails are fed with nail polish remover, a broken nail can be severely painful, and for some people, a weak nail is a dangerous sign. Before you start making dramatic changes to your nail look, follow these simple and effective tips to make sure your nails last all winter.
Give Your Nails Time to Heal: If a cut is the culprit of a weakened nail, which may not heal for a long time, never cut a new nail before they heal from the cut, which takes at least three to five days. Pinch Fingernails: If a nail is very thin, pinching it can take away much of the tension, so don’t pinch a nail more than a few times per day. If your nails look like casts, they may be the culprit for a weak or broken nail, so instead of over-exposing your nails to the salon, add a double layer of nail compound like something like GemCurl and let it dry for a few hours. Know What’s Hurting Your Nails: Here’s something you probably didn’t know before: Weak nails can signal a whole host of different problems, such as infection, nail plates collapsing, infection, and other skin conditions. Treat them! Stemomyal Stemigo illness: A) Short fingernails can result in the buildup of nail plate cells and debris on the nail bed, which can cause a painful pinch. It can also trigger atopic dermatitis and eczema. Be sure to always check out your nail color in stores for any red or purple discoloration. B) It can be very dry and brittle, leading to razor blades or blunt objects slipping through. C) Your nails have gone dry, a telltale sign that you’ve been using too much nail polish remover. See the tip for a simple way to use less polish and avoid, or at least reduce, the high concentration of remover we often overdo. E) When your nails dry out, they become weaker, so applying baking soda or sulfur to them can increase renewal and help rejuvenate nails. Losing Vitamin B: If your nails start to look pale, discolored, or weak, they may be in fact losing vitamin B, especially in the nail beds. You can, however, make use of vitamin B, even without rubbery nail cream, by applying the vitamin before your lunch break every day. It’s a natural remedy, so don’t let a lack of natural vitamin B phase you. Tired Nails: The real culprit behind weak nails, tired nails, is low iron. Minerals are the main food source for this important and rapidly-protective component of red blood cells. You can replenish iron in only a few minutes with a quick iron-based moisturizer like the Eye BZ. The BZ goes on layer by layer, gradually working its way into the cracks of your nails, and is taken daily for a good few weeks to replenish the iron in your bones. Scouring With Waxy Oil: Rubbing off excess polish with a putty knife is not only bad for your nails but also the cuts your nail salon uses. Waxy products, like the moisturizing gel Bobbi Brown Painless Nail Care, actually do wonders for your nails. If your nails are dry and brittle, adding a little bit of a smoothing oil like Bekant’s Tahitian Shellac Oil (or the Bekant Mineral Oil shown in the picture above) helps to keep your nails looking natural and healthy all winter long. It’s a great product to have at your home because you don’t have to spend hours scrubbing your nails off.
