There are several signs for which the age of women is immediately "read": wrinkled skin, pigment spots, dark circles under the eyes. The condition of the skin of the hands and nails is not in the last place in the list. No matter how hard we tried, with age, their appearance becomes objectively worse. True, we have a few secrets for you that will help grow long strong nails.
Lack of iron
Low iron content in the blood can be determined even without surrendering blood tests. For example, the concavity of the nail plate or deepening in some places will definitely indicate anemia. The level of iron in the blood does not directly affect the fortress of nails: hemoglobin is formed from iron molecules, and it transfers the erythrocytes saturated with oxygen in the nail matrix, forming a growing plate. However, we do not advise relying only on our own intuition in health issues - go to the doctor and pass the tests if you doubt the poor condition of the nails. After increase the consumption of rich food products, such as spinach, white beans, dark chocolate. Additionally, we advise you to take vitamin B, E and A, which make the nails thicker, and the skin is more elastic.
Working with keyboard
If you have long nails, at regular work with the keyboard on the nail plate, microcracks are formed. To correct the situation, cut the nails or teach yourself to press the buttons with the pads of the fingers. It is convenient to do when the keyboard buttons are high, not flat.

Insufficient moisturizing
Hand cream is not a marketing stroke, and the present salvation for the health of the skin of the hands and nails. At the expense of glycerol and oils, it forms a thin moisture film on the surface of the hands. It protects the skin and nails from the dirt and chemistry with which you come into contact, and also keeps moisture in deep layers of the skin. Dermatologists advise to apply a drop of cream or lotion to the hands after each washing to restore the pH with alkaline to neutral.
Nail polish
In the development of the coating composition, the technologists include ingredients, helping the lacquer to dry up when applied. Toluene, dibutyl phthalate and other chemicals continue to act even when the coating dries. On healthy nails, the effect will not be noticeable, but a thin nail plate is constantly wearing gel lacquer dried over several months.

Edged manicure
In the courses of Neil-Masters, they teach to remove the cuticle completely to put the lacquer as close as possible to the base of the nail, thereby extending the duration of the socks. However, dermatologists oppose this, considering the cuticle with the protective layer between the living part of the nail and the keratin plate. Abroad, the unedged manicure is popular when the cuticle is moved by an orange stick without cutting. Try this technique, it is possible that it will suit you.
Nail polish remover
Acetone, which is part of the lacquer removal fluid removes natural oils from your nails with varnish, leaving you with brittle nails. Even if the packaging is indicated "without acetone", it will not protect you: instead of acetone, other solvents will be included in the composition. Dermatologists advise to remove the LAC with liquid on the basis of soybeans or the hardware method at the Master of Manicure.
