Causes of dry nails

Nails are protected by moisture and oil (sebum) in the same way as skin and hands.

Due to lack of water and oil (sebum), nails become dry and trouble occurs.

① Soap, hand soap, detergent, disinfectant

It is necessary when washing hands and dishes, but washing too much can also remove the necessary sebum.

②Ultraviolet rays

UV rays are one of the causes of dry skin, and they can dry out your nails as well.

③ Nail polish remover

Acetone, a component of nail polish remover, can remove nail polish, but it can also strip your nails of moisture and oil.

④ Anemia

Anemia means lack of nutrients in the blood and dry skin and nails.

⑤ Malnutrition (diet)

Many people think that nails are made of calcium, but they are made of protein.

If there is a shortage of protein and the ingredients that make up the nails, the nails will lack moisturizing power and may dry out.

① When applying hand cream, apply it to your nails as well.

You can replenish water and oil.

2) Wear rubber gloves when doing housework.

It is recommended to layer rubber gloves over cotton gloves.

③ Use acetone-free nail polish remover.

There are also nail polish removers that do not contain acetone.

④ Try to have a well-balanced diet.

Let's take high-quality protein, which is the material for nails, and minerals such as silicon and zinc that make strong nails.

⑤Massage your nails.

Massaging your nails promotes blood circulation and delivers nutrients to your nails.
