Weak or damaged fingernails
f your nails are prone to splitting, it can be difficult to keep them looking well-groomed. Fair-skinned people often have weaker nails and may require more care compared to those with darker skin, who typically have nails containing more keratin.
Symptoms of weak or damaged fingernails
- Weak, thin, and flaky nails that break easily
- Ridges on the nail surface
- Nails that appear opaque and dehydrated
How to treat weak or damaged fingernails
Keep your nails short and protect them by wearing gloves when using detergents and cleaning products. Regularly replenish moisture with our Nourishing Hand Wash and Intensive Hydrating Hand Lotion.
Keep the Nourishing Nail and Cuticle Serum Pen handy – in your handbag, on your desk, and/or in the car. Frequent use can work wonders!
Be cautious with nail polish and gels, as these can further dehydrate your nails. Instead, opt for our Nail Strengthening Treatment.
Margaret says: “You will find that your nails will grow much quicker than normal when using our Nail Strengthening Treatment, so it is a good idea initially to keep your nails short to allow the distal end of the nail to strengthen. Initially, as the nail lengthens and grows you may find that the free end of the nail is splitting as the nail grows and strengthens from the proximal end, forward and as you continue to use the treatment and the nail continues to grow through, your nails will get stronger and stronger until you find that you can keep your natural nails at a nice length without them splitting or breaking.”
Persevere with the Nail Strengthening Treatment for strong, healthy, natural nails.
The hemp seed oil and seaweed extract in our formulations are key to their effectiveness. Hemp seed oil contains all 20 amino acids necessary to stimulate collagen and elastin production, while seaweed extract is rich in antioxidants, including palythine, which protects the skin from oxidative stress, cell damage, and premature ageing. Keep these products accessible and use them regularly.
