All women want to look beautiful. We carefully select the wardrobe, apply the makeup correctly, do the hair. There seemed to be such a trifle - a manicure.

But for some reason the nails grow poorly, the color of the nail plate has changed - it has become an unhealthy, gray-yellow shade. Often flake plates are peeled off at the tips, from which, and so, a thin nail becomes even thinner, and as a result, it breaks down from the slightest physical contact. The skin around the nail plate is hardened, burrs appeared. All of the above problems arise when you, for one reason or another, have become dry fingernails.

Causes of dry nails

Our nail consists of translucent keratinous plates protecting sensitive tissue, which is located at the tip of the finger, from damage. Sign healthy nails  is natural gloss, smoothness, lack of white spots and exfoliation of the tips. If the nail is still not healthy, consider the main possible reasons  the occurrence of this problem.

Household chemicals.  Often we, doing the cleaning and washing the dishes, do not think about protecting our hands. After all, cleanliness in the house requires the use of aggressive detergents. Washing the plates from fat, the stove from soot, and disinfecting the bathroom, we simultaneously wash calcium and grease from our nails and skin. Make it a rule not to contact with detergents and cleaning agents, if the hands are not protected by gloves. If you need to work in rubber gloves for a long time, then spread your hands with a thick cream, put on gloves made of natural fabric and only then rubber.

Manicure. “Beauty requires sacrifice” - we say to ourselves and once again apply varnish on the nails, well, if not cheap. And then we remove it with nail polish remover containing acetone, which penetrates deep into the porous structure of the nail, dries it and destroys it. As a result, the nail exfoliates, does not grow, and resourceful women go to build up their nails. So the problem is even more aggravated, since the nail plate is significantly damaged when building. Save on is also not worth it. Tools of poor quality will not give the expected result, they can even damage the skin on the fingers and the nail itself.

Diseases of the endocrine system.  Dry nails can be caused by more serious reasons. It may be due to malfunction of the thyroid gland. Before you begin treatment, be sure to consult your doctor for advice.

Nutrition to eliminate dryness

Food with dry nails should be balanced. An overabundance of some useful substances will not replace the shortage of others. In order for the nails enough moisture, it is necessary to drink plenty of fluids during the day. However, do not abuse coffee, as it has a diuretic effect, which contributes to the removal of water from the body. Useful are fruit and vegetable juices, cooked on their own. You should not make them in reserve, as vitamins are oxidized and destroyed during storage.

To keep your nails firm and not flaking, provide the body with the necessary amount of vitamin A, E and B vitamins. Many vitamin A contains green onions, carrots, spinach, peaches, apples. Carrots are preferably mixed with vegetable fat, so keratin is better absorbed in the body. Salad from Bulgarian pepper with tomatoes and olive oil will be useful. Vitamins B5 and B6 help to absorb calcium and fatty acids. We can get them by eating legumes, cabbage, sprouted wheat grains, carrots, potatoes, liver, pork.

In pursuit of the ideal figure, women often limit the consumption of fats and carbohydrates. Of course, if you eat them in large quantities and with low physical activity, the risk will be great. Inadequate consumption of bread, meat, oil, vegetable fats and nuts leads to dry nail, as it is the fats that help the nail plate to remain elastic and retain water.

Dairy products will provide the body with calcium, if it is not enough, then brittle nails will not give an opportunity to grow a beautiful manicure. Cottage cheese, sour cream, milk, yogurt, hard cheeses - these products must be constantly included in your diet, if you care about your health. Calcium is also found in nuts, fish, sea kale, shrimps.

Eating seafood strengthens the nail, as there is contained in a large amount of iodine. And if vertical grooves have appeared on the nail, it is necessary to include products containing sulfur in the menu, for example, cereals, green onions, beef.

Folk remedies against dry nails

And nails can often be solved at home without turning to specialists. The main thing is to provide regular nutrition with special oils. Also, do not forget to lubricate the skin at the base of the nail cuticle cream.

Nail growth wax

Crush beeswax and heat it on the steam bath. In the warm wax, add the heated, stir. Oil need to take two times less than wax. In the mixture, add five drops and three drops of vitamin E, which helps strengthen the nail. Pour the mixture into a small container, let cool and harden. We apply a small amount of the prepared mixture on the nails and rub in it carefully. No need to flush.

Argan-lemon mask

If you often grow your nails or paint them with gel polish, then unrefined will help you to restore the damaged plate. olive oil, a small amount of  which we put on small cotton pads impose on each nail. Tear off small strips from the foil, and put cotton wool to the nail. Twenty minutes later we shoot and enjoy the result.

If the coarsening is not associated with infection, then in the initial stages you can independently treat yourself with home remedies.

Methods to combat dehydration should be comprehensive, if the cause of dryness of the epidermis is associated with internal factors.

When exposed to external conditions should be focused on proper care  with a choice of suitable products, taking into account a particular skin type. Treatment includes:

• power correction;
•   , wraps and baths;

With insufficient intake of vitamins with food, you need to change your diet. The skin does not receive the substances it needs to maintain a healthy appearance, therefore it peels off in the future.

During the day, carrots, tomatoes, pumpkins or greens must be present in the diet. They are sources of vitamin A. Eggs, cheese, potatoes and corn are a good source of many nutrients. They are considered the most valuable because of the presence of vitamin E in their composition.

In addition to nutrition, enriched with vitamins, it is important that sufficient water flow into the body (2-2.5 liters per day).

If it bothers you to drink a tasteless liquid, then ginger, lemon juice, honey or mint is added for a change.

Get rid of the problem at home

In the evening, you should daily moisten the epidermis of the fingers in a bath with natural remedies. A dry cuticle softens when you add vitamin E, lemon juice, milk, or various oils. It is recommended to do baths in the evening for 15-20 minutes.

  The remains of oils are cleaned with a napkin and complete the procedure by applying nourishing cream  taking into account the type of skin. Special attention is paid to the areas around the nails.

To prepare the mask, use milk, boiled potatoes, rye bread, eggs, various oils and honey. The components are mixed in equal proportions to obtain a thick consistency. If desired, no ingredient is added.

The mask is applied with a thick layer on the hands and fingers. Particular attention is paid to flaking areas. The duration of the procedure is no more than 20 minutes, and it is recommended to repeat it daily.

Use of pharmaceuticals

Additionally when running forms  Radevit ointment is applied. It is rich in nutrients, such as:

• vitamin A;
• glycerol;
• fatty acid;
• sunflower oil;
• vaseline oil.

If the plots crack, but the treatment does not help, then Actovegin injections are used as a wound healing drug. Sometimes you can pamper yourself salon procedures  (paraffin baths, oil hot manicure).

Professional cosmetics combines all the necessary components of the epidermis. After applying the product to problem areas, the skin becomes soft and velvety.

In most cases, the skin around the nails on the hands flakes, dries with a deficiency of vitamins and improper care. Nutritional cosmetics are best prepared at home. The main thing is to stock up on oils and combine them with components useful to the skin.

Our manicures often resemble intergalactic star rain, precious pearls extracted from the day of the sea ... They can make you think of a bright red gloss or of a cheerful spring meadow. But sometimes this “bad frame” spoils this beautiful picture. So, despite all personal efforts, the cuticle is often dry. And this is especially noticeable in cold weather.   either in intense heat.  Today's SOS article on the cuticle dries: what to do in this case. 10 commandments of gentle hands.

The first commandment. Conduct orange chopsticks

Are you still using pliers and scissors to cut the skin around your nails? And she rebels, responds with severe dryness, cracks, the formation of burrs. After all, such items often hurt her. Especially if the manicure is done by an inexperienced master.

It is important to know! Dry cuticle is not only ugly, but also the cause of brittleness, diss loing  nails, as well as inflammations of the skin of the hands. Indeed, often the periungual peel cracks, burrs, wounds appear. And this leads to inflammatory processesThe deterioration of our nails.

What to do? Go for unedged (European) manicure. Nippers and scissors perfectly replace special means for removing cuticle, orange sticks, europalm (euromanicure bar). By the way, from the individual experience of the author of the article, with an unedged manicure, the cuticle not only pleases with a good look, but also does not “overgrow” so quickly. But even if you prefer a traditional manicure, do it only with a highly qualified specialist. The master knows how to handle “classic” manicure tools in order to minimize skin damage.

The second commandment. Remember the gloves

Cold winds, frost is not the best effect on our pens, including the skin around the nails. Affected and dry indoor air - the most common cause of dehydration of the skin. That is why the cuticle often dries in winter and autumn.

What to do? When the yard is minus, fashionable mitts are set aside and wear “classic” warm gloves or mittens. Fingers should be protected from freezing. And this, you see, concerns not only the care of the cuticle.

And to her - and the third. Without familiarity with the sun

But the other extreme - the heat, ultraviolet radiation unbalances integuments. Turning to the Sahara desert regime, we often observe peeling of the skin, the formation of new wrinkles. And ... a dry cuticle with "appendages" in the form of burrs.

Our actions. Do not dive headlong into the sun baths, sunbathe sensibly - until 9: 00-10: 00 in the morning and from 16: 17-17: 00 in the evening. Plus pay attention to moisturizing the skin - and the face, and body, and hands.

The fourth commandment. Take care of health

The cuticle often dries, when our state of health is not all right. Dry skin is observed in disorders of the liver and kidneys. But there may be problems with the nails - for example, a fungus (also known as mycosis). Often, this condition is accompanied by other signs - for example, a change in the color of the nails (they can turn white, yellow and even purple and black), and grieve with a bundle ..

What to do? At the slightest changes in the nails -status, one should consult a dermatologist. If a fungus is found, undergo a course of treatment. It is useful at least once a year to be examined by a doctor to check the condition of the liver and other organs. And, of course, the main defense of beauty is a wizard named HLS.

Fifth Refuse phosphates

Nails and cuticles, as well as the skin of the hands come to panic from aggressive cleaning products, dishwashing products, washing powders with phosphates and other amenities of civilization.

What to do? Under Tsar Pea, it was recommended to wear rubber gloves - and then it was the only means to save the beauty of the hands. Now, in the 21st century, sparing household chemicals without phosphates have appeared, with mild surfactants that protect both skin and health. It makes sense to go to them. Moreover, rubber gloves, according to dermatologists, also have a bad effect on our swans.

Plus sixth. Down water

The cuticle dries because of water procedures with chlorinated hard tap water.

Output. Ideally, wash your hands with soft water only. Or use a special high-quality natural soap, which includes softening additives.

The seventh rule. Stocking apples and pears

Often the cuticle dries due to lack of vitamins. Avitaminosis can be a consequence of the same liver disease. It is often observed at the end of winter - early spring, because we do not have enough vitamins in the diet.

Guide to action. If the cuticle dries, you need to pay attention to your daily menu - it should be balanced. For the beauty of nails are all important substances. Especially - vitamins A, E, group B. Settled on a platter of foods rich in these substances. These are vegetables, fruits, vegetable oils, cereals and other gifts of nature. You may need to take synthetic vitamin complexes - but only after consulting a doctor.

Rule eighth. Eat!

Vitamin deficiency can be  and all-season - when we, for example, are fond of rigid mono diets for weight loss. In this case, distress signals give not only the cuticle dries, but also nails, skin and hair suffer. The whole body!

What to do? No strict weight loss diets! We look at the previous paragraph and remember the balance of substances in the diet. We keep the figure at the expense of playing sports and adequate portions, but not switching to a hungry ration.

The ninth commandment. Remember the time

But, sometimes, the cuticle dries due to genetic predisposition or .... age. Over the years, our body loses moisture, there are signs of skin dehydration - including around the nails.

What to do? Pamper your hands with quality cosmetics, take care of them - and they will be grateful to us.

And the tenth. Pestuy and cherish

Territory care.  The diamond rule of gentle hands - daily care of them. Whatever the cause of the dryness of the cuticle, it is realistic to bring it back to normal - if you use a special caregiver. Your hands will look great even if there is a snowstorm outside, and there is hard water in the tap. And the more cosmetic beauty assistants are needed if dry skin is caused by failures in health. After all, with the same lack of vitamins, we help our fingers, bringing to them the important nutrients from these tick-jars and bottles.

What to do?

Dries cuticle? You should regularly use hand creams with nourishing and moisturizing ingredients. And be sure to settle on your shelf a special means to care for smoker. After all, cosmetic creams alone are not enough to restore it. Paraffin wraps help - both salon and home waxes for nails. Known effective remedy  - Thimbles of natural beeswax. But also industrial nail-wax are on sale. However, they can be on synthetics.

There are special forces for the care of periungual skin - for example, peeling, oil for cuticle. And, of course, if the cuticle dries, our rescuers are natural oils!

The Internet is replete with tips - lubricate fingers olive oil. However, the beauticians with whom I spoke, doubt about this popular method. Of course, the gift of olive is good for the skin - but in combination with other components. After all, olive oil only retains moisture on the surface of the skin, but does not moisturize the skin. Therefore, when the cuticle dries, such a tool can only be auxiliary, but not essential.

Our galy bylovy: marigold and skin around them, give exotics. For example, almond oil, shea (carite), apricot, coconut. In my personal experience, almond oil works great. It is a miracle but it cures not only the cuticle, but also the nails. And in general, behind the skin of the hands - it becomes extremely soft. Like me and shea. The jewel from the garden is rose oil, or rosehip oil. (I haven't tried it yet, but I really want it!). These rescuers perfectly moisturize. Castor oil can also become a superman. Yes, there is such a method of its use in the beauty industry!

So, if the cuticle dries, you need to apply oil on it daily - for this you can use cotton swabs or even thin makeup brushes.

With these beauty treatments, manicurists advise making salt baths, enriching them with the same oils. You can make a mixture of dining out of the base (fatty) oils and a few drops of essential.

There is one more - but already very exotic! - means for beautiful handles. This is snail therapy. After all, mucin (mucus) of snails is a pantry of useful substances, saving from dry skin. However, as the comments to my article on such a method showed, far from everyone dares to take this innocuous land mollusk into the hands.

And what do you do when the cuticle dries? Share your experience!
