Common conclusions

You should start wearing gloves while washing dishes because wearing gloves while washing dishes by hand will protect your nails from peeling or breaking. You could try Playtex Living Rubber Gloves, Clorox Ultra Comfort Gloves or Mr. Clean Bliss Premium Latex-Free Gloves.

You need to know that for care, drinking enough water is important, and nail health will be no exception. If you are dehydrated it can result in brittle nails which chip and break easily.Drinking ample water helps them to preserve moisture and remain solid, so you should strat drinking at least eight glasses of water per day.

B Vitamins are really necessary for keeping your nails strong and healthy. Biotin-rich foods (such as organ meats, eggs, fish, sardines, avocados, banans nuts and certain vegetables) and supplements may help strengthen your brittle fingernails.

Acetone-containing nail polish remover should be avoided as it can damage nails. You should look for non-toxic nail polishes and seeps, as well as polish removers that are acetone-free. You also need to know that constant use of polish, even nontoxic polish, can weaken your nails.

Chemicals that can weaken the nail are found in many cleaning items (disinfectants and detergents) or cleaning wipes, so in order to prevent contact with these substances, gloves support you.

You should start eating a healthy and varied diet because if you do not get the nutrients your body needs, it might be reflected in your nails.

Great! You should continue eating healthy and varied diet because a deficit of an essential vitamin or mineral may result in some nail problems, such as horizontal ridges around your nails or brittle nails.
