Your hands reveal a lot about your health. Just like your skin, nails can lose moisture causing them to feel weak, dry and prone to breakage. Similarly, too much moisture can equally contribute to damage, resulting in soft and fragile nails. This can be due to frequent handwashing, harsh detergents and household cleaners. Though, it’s worth noting that weekly manicures, age and seasonal shifts are also key contributors. But it’s not all bad news. Dry, cracked nails can be restored over time.
