Do you recognize this? Nails that suddenly tear and break easily? And that seem much thinner than a few days ago? Then you are dealing with brittle nails. And they are quite annoying and frustrating. Fortunately, there are a number of tricks and tools to make your brittle nails radiant nails again.
Why do you have brittle nails?
Often it is caused by things we do every day, such as using nail polish remover, painting your nails with nail polish full of chemicals or coming into contact with water too often. Even the weather can have an effect. Cold, dry air does not do your nails any good.
But there are also other factors that affect your nails. Do you sleep too little? Or do you get too little biotin, vitamin D, calcium and/or zinc? Then that could also be the reason for your brittle nails.
What can you do about brittle nails?
Are you fed up with your brittle nails? Then try one of these tricks:
Use a base coat
Your nails are not always as happy with nail polish as you are. Especially nail polish with a lot of chemicals can affect your nails. Therefore, protect your nails by first applying a base coat. And the great thing is: with a base coat your nail polish adheres better and lasts longer!
Hydrate nails
If your nail is brittle, it is actually dry. It is therefore important to hydrate your nails well. How do you do that? For example, by using moisturizing nail polish. But you can also massage nail oil into your nails or apply restorative cream.
Wear gloves if you work a lot with water
It may sound strange. But if your nails often come into contact with water, they dry out. You may also notice this if you have been in the bath for a long time; your nails are then flexible and soft. Do you often work with your hands in the water? Then use gloves. Gloves keep your nails dry.
Restore brittle nails with supplements
Did you know that you can also restore your brittle nails with nail supplements ? For example, there are several tools that can increase your biotin, vitamin D, calcium or zinc levels. In this way, you feed the nail with the nutrients it needs to strengthen itself.
Triple A Silicon for beautiful nails
But what is perhaps even more interesting: you can also repair your brittle nails at the source. Brittle nails often occur because you have too little silicon in your body. Silicon is indirectly responsible for the health of your nails. The stabilized silicon of Triple A Silicium repairs your nails where it is most effective.
