My finger nails keep splitting, I have tried lots of products on .the market without result. Any help please?

I know that water is causing my finger nails to split and peel, because I had a nasty accident and I couldn't do any housework, so for 4 months I had beautiful nails. As soon as I started some work in the kitchen my nails started to peel again. I do use gloves when doing the dishes. Any suggestions please?My finger nails keep splitting, I have tried lots of products on .the market without result. Any help please?
If you use gloves then maybe it's not the water cuz your hands haven't been in the water to do dishes. Your nails might have been long because you were on medication due to your accident too. Which medication worked? Ask your doctor. Low thyroid levels cause splitting of the nails as well.....a simple blood test. Ask the doc and good luckMy finger nails keep splitting, I have tried lots of products on .the market without result. Any help please?
It's all about your diet, also if your using illegal drugs it will really hurt you. I worked in detriot for 6 weeks and my nails have never been stronger, maybe move to there.
have lots of calcium.


I have also heard that soaking your nails in milk helps, but I think this is an old wives' tale
try eating and drinking milk cheese and yogourt (sp )


the calsium will help on only your nails but you skin ,hair and teeth it will take time but those will work best if you have a problem with milk try calsium tablets but consult your doc first





where rubber gloves when doing house work and try geting a manicure as well they can realy help
Definitely get a dishwasher!!





The Spanish rub garlic and olive oil into the cuticles. I'd certainly try the olive oil, but not the garlic!! (I'd end up sucking my fingers all day)!





Good nutrition is essential too, or a multivitamin to boost you up.





There are nail formula supplements out there too, but I think it's more important to eat well.





Keep your nails shorter too, then you won't be disappointed when they split and break.
Sounds like you have Onychoschizia





The best treatment is to avoid repeated wetting and drying of the nails. Try to wear cotton lined rubber gloves when performing household chores that involve getting the hands wet.


Rub lotions containing alpha-hydroxy acids such as Neostrata or lanolin containing lotions such as Elon into the nails both before and after getting the hands wet.


Watch people who have beautiful nails. Notice how they use their hands or finger pads to do simple chores rather than use their nails. Never dial a phone with the nail tips; use a pencil. Nails should never be used as tools. Get in the habit of using your fingers as if they have wet polish on them.


If you can鈥檛 avoid trauma to the nail tips, keep the nails cut short.


Always wear gloves during cold weather and when you do chores which may traumatize the nail tips.


Never peel or scrape off nail polish.


Shape and file the nails with a very fine file and round the tips in a gentle curve. Daily filing of snags or irregularities helps to prevent further breakage or splitting. Never use metal instruments on the nail surface to push back the cuticle because this scrapes away the microscopic protective cells of the nail surface.


When (and if) the nails are ';buffed,'; do this in the same direction as the nail grows and not in a ';back and forth'; motion because this can cause nail splitting.


Nail polish can protect the nail surface. The almost daily application of a ';top coat'; will keep the nail tips protected. Nail polishes with nylon fibers in them may add strength and protection to fragile nails. Use nail polish remover as infrequently as possible because it dries out the nails.


One study has shown that biotin (a vitamin) 2.5 mg a day taken by mouth is beneficial. Do not do this if you are pregnant.


Some patients are convinced that one pack of Knox Gelatin mixed with orange juice and taken by mouth each day will restore nails to a youthful state. There is no scientific data that supports the use of unflavored gelatin to strengthen nails.


Taking colloidal minerals and a multivitamin each day has been shown to increase the speed of nail growth which in turn leads to healthier nails.
Try to eat healty food: peanuts, vegetables and fruits and don麓t forget to add some vegetable oil in your diet. Remember to eat calsiumtablettes. Use some strengtening naillack, handlotion, massage oil and protecting base for nails like Trind - in these products i麓m sure that you麓ll get your beaufiful nails back.
Eat a cube of jelly every day. Make sure you have enough calcium in your diet, rub any edible oil into your fingernails before you begin to prepare food %26amp; at night moiturise your hands %26amp; nails %26amp; wear cotton gloves to bed.
dont worry about the products to use on them,feed your body proper food!!! Like milk for calcium which is why they are peeling %26amp; splitting. I suggest you buy health tabs ABC vitamins plus some zinc as this is what you are lacking to stop that. Ohterwise just eat the right foods which supply these elements.
Sounds like a dietary problem to me. Too much of this and not enough of that.





The healthiest diet is vegetarian, with lots of fruit, some green leaved vegetables, nuts and seeds. If you have a juicer, drink lots of freshly made fruit and vegetable juice, like carrot and apple is good.





Avoid plastic foods, like frozen stuff and canned stuff. Avoid preservatives, MSG, aspartame, and all sodas. Eat as natural as possible.
My nails kept splitting and breaking easily so i started to take multivitamin every day, so that i would be getting everything my body needs....and my nails are really strong and long now, they hardly break or split.....i recommend Sanatogen Gold Tablets
Get your hubby to do the dishes.
EveK is right. Calcium Plus Zinc is what your body is lacking. Go to Vitamin World and get you some good Multi's or a Cal-Mag-Zinc. Also, massage your cuticles and nails with a cream that contains vitamins A.
