I'm a serial nail-biter. How do I stop?! I can never seem to stop!
Tips?
Remedies?
Anything?

Hah, the mere thought of germs does not deter me, but the thought of possibly having a skin infection does!
But I'd still unconciously bite my nail/skin!

get acrylics.
they will look so good and be so hard that you won't want to bite them. plus, the money you put into it will deter you from biting.
i always said, if i woke up one day and had beautiful nails i would stop biting them. then i shelled out $30 for a set of acrylics and another $10 for a great nail color and haven't bit them since.

I wear a slightly oversized ring and figit with that a bit. While switching it from my midle finger to my thumb there isn't any time to think of biting my nails.

erm try to use something to distract yourself from biting your nails? like chewing gums....it's really unpleasant to see people bite their nails...I do have friends who do that and i guess the best way to stop is really to keep reminding yourself or write on your fingers to remind yourself or something....hahaz

Try gum. And wear something around your wrist that you can play with. It sounds kind of silly but it works.

i share the same problem.
the best thing to do is to eat something so you won't want to bite your nails.
have a sweet or mint in your mouth when you are upset or nervous. =)
hope that helps!

wear gloves. seriously. i put lotion on my hands and nails and wear a pair of thin gloves whenever i can. works great on dry, chapped hands. start by trying this at home.
