7 Ridiculously Easy Hacks That Will Heal Your Damaged And Dry Nails – M2woman

Whether your nails are suffering due to the cold weather, or you just have actually a bad habit of peeling off your gel manicure (yes, me!), having dry, damaged and peeling nails is never fun.

No matter how several times you paint your nails, damaged paws are hard to conceal and really the only way to go is to do everything you can to reverse the damage.

So how exactly should you go about doing this? Thanks to SheKnows we have actually 7 super easy hacks that you can do at house to help get your nails back into shape.

1. Take multivitamins  

If you are lacking in vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium, chances are that your nails are probably dry and brittle. Take a multivitamin and a calcium supplement every day to help give your body back the vitamins it is desperately crying out for.

2. Drink plenty of water 

While this one may not be surprising, drinking plenty of water is key if you want to have actually healthy hair, nails and skin. Aim to drink 8 glasses of water per day to help ensure that your nails are well hydrated.

3. Massage your nails 

Massaging your nails will help to stimulate blood flow to the area, helping to ensure that nails grow long and strong. When massaging, use a good hand cream and make sure that you massage hands, cuticles and the nails themselves.

4. Limit use of nail polish remover 

Try to avoid using nail polish remover more than once or twice a month and if you have actually to use it, opt for acetone free removers that will not dry your nails.

5. Stop painting your nails 

While it’s hard to go bare when you’re a fan of pretty nails, quitting nail polish for awhile will do wonders for your damaged nails. Exposure to sunlight will help to heal and regenerate the cells in your nails, so avoiding nail polish for awhile will allow vital sunlight to reach your nails and speed up the healing process.

6. Soak nails in olive oil 

If you have actually weak or dry nails, soak your nails in extra virgin olive oil for 10-15 minutes every day for a month. Doing this will help to strengthen and fortify your nails.

7. Wear gloves for chores 

Household tasks such as washing the dishes and gardening can dry your nails hugely. Try wearing plastic or garden gloves when performing these tasks and protect your nails from harmful products.
