does anyone know how to fix soft,peeling nails? what causes this?

Question

WHATS THE REMEDY?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Protect your nails from water. Wear cotton-lined, rubber gloves when doing household chores, such as washing dishes. Between uses, turn rubber gloves inside-out to dry to prevent germs from growing in them.

Apply moisturizing lotion to your nails, especially the skin around the nail, after exposure to water. Even a minor cut alongside your nail can allow bacteria or fungi to enter and cause an infection.

Wear gloves in cold weather and during activities that might harm nails, such as gardening.

Keep your nails short to prevent breakage. Trim your nails only when they're well-hydrated so they'll be less brittle when clipping. File nails in only one direction — not back and forth, which also can split nails.

Moisturize your nails after using nail polish remover, which dries your nails. Look for an acetone-free formulation.

Don't push back or cut the cuticles, which protect new nail growth.

Don't pick at hangnails. Instead, clip them close to the skin surface with sharp, clean cuticle scissors.

Answer 3

If you mean soft nails that break easily, split and will bend on any contact, there are a number of things. Believe it or not, Gelatin is one thing, yeah, the jello we all eat. There's also a number of Vitimans you can take to make your nails harder. I understand there is a substance thats applied as well, the way you describe your problem. I would look for something along the vitiman line, your body may be lacking in that certain vitiman or mineral. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
