How to Prevent Your Nails from Breaking: Tips and Effective Solutions

Have you ever noticed that your nails break or split easily? The health of our nails can reflect our overall health, and the causes of nail breakage can range from internal factors to the use of harmful products. In this post, we’ll explore the reasons why your nails might be breaking and how you can strengthen them with natural solutions.

1. Dehydration of the Nails

Dehydration is one of the most common causes of brittle nails. Just like the skin, nails need to be well-hydrated to remain strong and flexible. Constant use of harsh chemicals or frequent hand washing without adequate hydration can contribute to dehydration.

Solution: Our Nail and Cuticle Oils are formulated with a base of organic sweet almond oil, jojoba, and vitamin E, which provide the deep hydration that your nails and cuticles need. Apply the oil by massaging it into each nail twice a day to keep them well-hydrated and strong.

2. Nutritional Deficiencies

A diet lacking essential vitamins and minerals can impact the health of your nails. Nutrients such as calcium, biotin, and vitamins A and E are crucial for nail strength.

Solution Our strengthener As Tough as Nails it is enriched with calcium pantothenate and vitamin A, key ingredients to promote the growth and strength of your nails. Add this treatment to your care routine to repair weak and damaged nails.

3. Exposure to Chemicals

Many nail care products contain harsh chemicals that can weaken the nail structure over time. Constant exposure to these products can cause nails to become brittle and prone to breaking.

Solution: Opt for non-toxic and eco-conscious nail care products like those offered in our line. By choosing products that prioritize health and wellness, you are helping to protect your nails from the harmful effects of harsh chemicals.

4. Use of Glass Nail Files

Glass nail files provide gentle and effective care for your nails. Unlike metal files, glass files help seal the edges of the nails, promoting a smooth and even surface that reduces the risk of breakage.

Benefits: Use our Mini Nano Glass Nail File + Shiner to keep the edges of your nails smooth and well-maintained. These glass nail files not only prevent chipping but also provide a shiny finish to your nails, keeping them in optimal condition.

5. Trauma or Excessive Use

Frequent use of your nails as tools or physical trauma can cause them to split or break. Additionally, improper use of manicure tools can affect the integrity of the nails.

Solution: In addition to using strengthening products such as our As Tough as Nails, it is important to handle your nails with care and avoid using them for tasks that could cause damage.

6. Health Conditions or Disorders

Sometimes, brittle nails can be a sign of underlying health issues, such as thyroid deficiencies or dermatological conditions.

Solution: If you notice drastic changes in your nails or continue to have problems despite using treatments, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional or a specialized nail technician. They can provide a precise evaluation and personalized recommendations to address any underlying issues.

For a comprehensive solution that addresses all of these aspects, we recommend our Pure Renewal Bundle. This bundle not only includes our Nail and Cuticle Oils, our strengthening treatment As Tough as Nails, and a Mini Nano Glass Nail File + Shiner, but also represents a commitment to sustainable beauty and health.
