Soft nails, dull, brittle, striated... When they do grey, it is often the result of external aggression or internal imbalance. And if your semi-permanent varnish doesn't hold anymore, it's time to take care of it! With a little attention and good reflexes, your nails can regain their full shine. We'll explain how.
Why are your nails fragile?
Before seeking to consolidate them, we must understand what weakens them. Yes, knowing the cause is half the job already! The balance of your nails depends as much on your environment as on your health and general condition. So, what's behind these little signs of fragility?
The impact of the environment on your nails
Did you know that our nails are made to 90% of keratin - What? This natural protein, produced by the nail matrix (also present in hair and skin), acts as a protective barrier. But this defense is not infallible... and our daily life does not always make it easy.
Climates and seasons
Over the seasons, between dry air and cold in winter, heat and sun exposure In summer, your nails are subject to significant changes in temperature and humidity. Their keratin suffers, causing dehydration and breakage. They need you to help them adapt... Help!
Water and household products
Our nails are not waterproof. One Recurrent exposure to water, household detergents or aggressive chemicals weakens them and promotes split nail type frailties or soft nails. Reflex to wear protective gloves or opt for more natural household products. Your hands (and your manicures) will thank you.
Bad gestures
Se eat nails, chaining the semi-permanent varnishes or false nails without pause, trim or scratch the nail plateWe've all done it, admit it! But all these gestures have an impact on the nail matrix and can alter their renewal.
Temperature differences lead to hard life for your nails.
Nails, reflections of our internal imbalances
The natural beauty of the nails also comes from inside. Passive fatigue, nutritional deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals or hormonal imbalances can affect nail growth.
Fatigue and stress
An exhausted organism reserves its energy for vital functions, at the expense of nails that lose vitality, hair that tarnishes, as well as skin.
Food deficiencies
We don't think much about it, yet a Unbalanced diet and low in essential nutrients can damage your nails. Deficiencies in iron and other mineral salts such as zinc, calcium or vitamins B (including vitamin B8 or biotin, which are essential for keratin production) and C often result in nails, striated, soft or split.
Hormonal imbalances
Some changes in age or pathologies can alter keratin production and disrupt nail growth.
Moral of the story: by pampering your nails, you choose yourself. So there's no longer to hesitate, it's time to take action!
Taking care of your nails is taking care of your general well-being.
