What is it when your nails are peeling? IS it like dry?

dry???or lack of calcium???What is it when your nails are peeling? IS it like dry?
1. Climate Changes


No, we鈥檙e not talking about carbon emissions. Your nails are not suffering from global warming the way the polar bears are. It鈥檚 just that sudden changes in the weather, or extreme weather conditions, might be affecting your nails. Usually the culprit is cold, dry weather that dehydrates the nail plate, causing layers to separate and flake off. To solve it, try rubbing in a rich lotion or moisturizer every morning and evening鈥擟uticle Cure from Nail-Aid is the perfect solution.





2. Dietary Issues


Many people will say that if your nails are peeling, it鈥檚 a lack of protein that鈥檚 the cause. This is really unlikely in North America or Western Europe, even if you鈥檙e a hard-core vegan. Usually, if diet鈥檚 to blame for your fingernail problems, it鈥檚 a lack of biotin, sulfur, or B-vitamins (which is a concern for vegans). A good supplement, along with a few extra servings of raw vegetables and fruit, should alleviate the chipping.





3. Prescription Medications


Some medicines have a drying effect on the skin and nails. If your peeling nails became an issue after you started taking a certain drug, you should head to the manufacturer鈥檚 website to double-check side effects. We鈥檇 never recommend quitting any physician-prescribed drug just for the sake of your fingernails. Instead, try improving your diet, as in step 2, and moisturizing, as in step 1. If that doesn鈥檛 work, pick a good nail strengthener (see step 8).





4. Psoriasis, Yeast Infections, or Other Skin Conditions


If you鈥檙e suffering from a skin condition such as psoriasis or a yeast infection, there could be knock-on effects for your nails. Many psoriasis patients also report chipping and peeling nails. If you鈥檝e been given a prescription ointment or cream for what鈥檚 on your skin, try rubbing it on your nails, too.





5. Chemical Exposure


Lots of people don鈥檛 take proper precautions when cleaning the house or conducting pest control. For the sake of your lungs, ventilate the room. For the sake of your nails, wear gloves. Chemicals and solvents present in many cleaning products can dry out or damage your fingernails, leading to peeling.





6. Immersion in Water


Water swells and separates the layers of the nail plate. If you keep re-wetting the nails, they never dry properly, leading to flaking and peels. If you鈥檙e in a job where you soak your hands or have to wash them regularly, you鈥檙e going to have nail problems unless you take evasive action. Wear gloves wherever possible, and moisturize at least twice a day, if not more.





7. Post-Fake Nail Trauma


Really well-done acrylic nails look great, but it鈥檚 pretty much inevitable that your nails will be paper thin and damaged once you have the fakes taken off. You鈥檒l have to be patient, and stimulate new growth with diet, moisturizers, and nail strengtheners. But don鈥檛 just pick any nail strengthener鈥?br>




8. The Wrong Kind of Nail Treatments


Nail strengtheners and peeling nail solutions contain a lot of chemicals. Most of them are designed to make your nails bond back together to prevent breaking and peeling. Some of them may actually be making the problem worse. Formaldehyde, an ingredient in several popular strengtheners, can cause drying and irritation of the skin and nails鈥攏ot to mention being a suspected cause of breast cancer. Switch to a nail care product that鈥檚 free of formaldehyde (including formaldehyde resin), toluene, and dibutyl pthalate, such as Nail-Aid鈥檚 Peeling Nail Intense Repair Gel. Your entire body, not just your nails, will thank you.
