5 Habits That Can Damage Your Natural Nails and How to Avoid Them
Healthy nails need care beyond regular gel polish, acrylics and salon appointments. Simple habits can cause breakage, peeling and dryness over time. Avoid using your nails to open packages, peel stickers or pry objects. Prepare your hands before a manicure by moisturising and applying cuticle oil. Never peel off acrylics or gel polish, as this can strip the top layers of your natural nails. Try to stop nail biting, which can damage the nail and irritate the surrounding skin. Wear gloves when using cleaning products, and limit strong acetone removers to prevent brittle, cracked nails.
