For aesthetic reasons, lack of time, due to the strengthening of nails and longer durability, many resort to gel nails or similar. Below you will find tips for strengthening and care of nails to avoid cracks and unsightly appearance of dry nails.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nails are made of keratin, which is why they can absorb more substances than skin. This is only one of the reasons why they are softer after bathing.

These include genetics, weather conditions, poor nail care, too frequent manicures and the use of acetone with alcohol and nail polishes of dubious composition. If you don\u2019t eat healthy, don\u2019t drink enough water or spend too much time indoors, it\u2019s easy for your nails and hair to become weak.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nail peeling, dryness and brittleness warn of deficiency of vitamins A, B and C, as well as iron and zinc. Such fingernails are flexible, brittle and usually have grooves.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, weak nails can be a sign of health problems. They can often indicate anemia or a thyroid problem. If your nails have white spots, it also shows that you lack calcium in your body.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Fingernails\"  class=\"wp-image-6155 pk-lazyload\"  width=\"698\"  height=\"868\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/besserme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pexels-fotografierende-3278768-460x572.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/besserme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pexels-fotografierende-3278768-460x572.jpg 460w, https:\/\/besserme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pexels-fotografierende-3278768-560x697.jpg 560w, https:\/\/besserme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pexels-fotografierende-3278768-800x996.jpg 800w, https:\/\/besserme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pexels-fotografierende-3278768-320x398.jpg 320w, https:\/\/besserme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pexels-fotografierende-3278768-1160x1444.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/besserme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pexels-fotografierende-3278768-1920x2390.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/besserme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pexels-fotografierende-3278768-80x100.jpg 80w, https:\/\/besserme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pexels-fotografierende-3278768-scaled.jpg 2057w\" ><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tipps-zur-nagelstaerkung\"><span id=\"tips-for-strengthening-nails\">Tips for strengthening nails<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wenn-ihr-aceton-verwenden-muesst-verwendet-eines-ohne-alkohol\"><span id=\"if-you-must-use-acetone-use-one-without-alcohol\">If you must use acetone, use one without alcohol<\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Excessive use of acetone can damage and weaken your fingernails.

Since weak nails indicate a lack of vitamins A, B and C, as well as iron, you should eat foods that are rich in these vitamins. Some of these foods are tomatoes, chard, peanuts, legumes, poultry, salmon, tuna, eggs, shellfish and crabs.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mandeloel\"><span id=\"almond-oil\">Almond oil<\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mix 1 tablespoon of almond oil with a little lemon juice and rub into hands and nails.
