Here are a few tips to protect your nails:
1. Keep your nails dry: Moist conditions can cause your nails to weaken and become vulnerable to breakage. Avoid keeping your nails wet for long periods of time and wear rubber gloves while washing dishes or doing household chores.
2. Don't use your nails as tools: Using your nails to pry open packages or jars can cause them to break or split.
3. Eat a healthy diet: Your nails need proper nutrition to stay healthy. Eat a diet rich in vitamins and minerals such as biotin, zinc, vitamin E, and iron.
4. Avoid harsh chemicals: Exposure to harsh chemicals, such as nail polish removers or cleaning agents, can weaken your nails. Use gloves if you're using these chemicals.
5. Keep your nails trimmed: Long nails are more likely to snag and break. Keep your nails trimmed to a reasonable length to prevent damage.
6. Protect your nails from the sun: The UV rays in sunlight can damage your nails. Wear gloves or apply sunscreen to your hands to protect your nails.
