Tips For Mending Brittle Fingernails

If you have brittle fingernails, it could be the result of a variety of factors including nutrient deficiencies, environmental conditions, cosmetics, soaps, lotions or exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals. You may need to include more whole grains, soybeans, leafy greens and alfalfa sprouts in your diet. These foods contain plenty of silicon—a mineral that helps your body produce collagen. To protect your nails while you clean or wash dishes, use protective gloves. Also check your soaps and lotions and try to find ones formulated for sensitive skin that don’t contain dyes or fragrance. All of these tips can help improve the strength and flexibility of your skin, hair and nails.
