What causes Nails to Split?
If your nails constantly split either horizontally or vertically it’s usually because they are too dry
This can also be worse in winter when the harsher cold weather robs our skin and hands of moisture.
As we get older our bodies produce less oil naturally. In youth this lubrication keeps everything bouncy and fresh, moisturised and plump, in later life natural moisture is in short supply.
If your nails are constantly splitting it's their way of telling you they need more moisture top ups and some TLC from you.
Splitting Nails can also suggest that your filing is not in order and you've been doing too much sawing with a cheap nail file instead of one way shaping with a gentle glass nail file have a look at this one -
Splitting Nails might also be telling you they need more from your diet.
Health problems can also show up in the nails and if you have distinct long term problems you should go to your GP to rule out any underlying problems. In fact if you consult a practioner of Chinese Medicine he/she will always look and take note of your nails before diagnosis.
