Dry and Brittle Nails

As you age your nails dry out, losing their natural moisture which holds the nail layers together. Natural moisture is extracted from your nails when exposed to water, harsh soaps or cleaning products. At first, your nails begin to fray on the edges, becoming brittle. Eventually, nails break, tear or split. The most common cause for many nail problems is dry nails, and can often be recognized by dull, splitting or peeling nails, often with white marks due to dehydration or even with a yellow tint across the nail.

Brittle and Splitting Nails

Brittle nails are in a weakened state and tend to break, tear, split or peel easily. The most commons causes are exposing your hands to chemicals, such as detergents, cleaning fluids, harsh soaps, etc.), long and frequent use of artificial nail products, nail polish and rough work. External factors damage the keratin protein in the nail and draws natural moisture from your nails. There are other reasons, such as vitamin deficiencies or a medical condition. If your brittle nails cannot be contributed to an external or internal cause, one technique is to compare your fingernails to your toenails. If your fingernails are brittle but your toenails aren’t, this indicates an external cause. However, if both your fingernails and toenails are brittle, then this indicates an internal cause.
