my nails are really thin and layers peel off. how do i stop this?How to i keep my nails from peeling?
Sounds like some sort of vitamin deficiency. Try taking Vitamin E and a Vitamin B complex to help strengthen them (Vitamin A wouldn't kill you either I'm sure).
Until then, try using a clear top coat meant to strengthen (Sally Hansen has some great products).How to i keep my nails from peeling?
cure the underlying problem. It might be a brittle nail:
Brittle Nails are characterized by a vertical splitting or separation of the nail plate layers at the distal (free) edge of the nail plate. In most cases, nail splitting and vertical ridges are characteristic of the natural aging process. This nail problem is also the result of overexposure to water and chemical solvents such as household cleaning solutions. As we age, the nail bed's natural flow of oils and moisture is greatly reduced. This oil and moisture is the cement that holds the nail plate layers together and gives the plate its inherent flexibility. At the first signs of splitting or peeling, re-hydrate the nail plate layers with a good quality cuticle and nail oil that contains Jojoba and Vitamin E as two of the botanical oils. Jojoba oil has a very tiny molecule which can penetrate the nail plate surface, open up the layers and draw the Vitamin E in after it. The molecular structure of Vitamin E is too large to penetrate the nail plate layers or the surface layer of the skin without the benefits of Jojoba oil. Oil the nail plate and surrounding cuticle at least twice daily; more if you have your hands in water a lot. Wear gloves whenever working with household cleaning solutions, and remember: water is considered the 'universal solvent', and is indeed a 'chemical'.
Try taking prenatal vitamins also keep them out of water as much as possible
You can buy some nail strengthening polish, at bartells or at Target. Or you can just put base coat on your nails.
