4 top ways to strengthen weak nails
We all want strong and beautiful nails, but simply going about our lives can become a minefield of potentially nail-damaging situations. Anything from taping on the iPad a little to ferociously or taking the rubbish out can easy end in breaks that can, sometimes, be quite painful.
If you’ve found the years haven’t been too forgiving on your nails, you can use these nifty tricks to strengthen them.
1. Olive oil
Massage your nails thoroughly with some warm olive oil, focusing on your cuticles and covering both the top and underside of your nails.
2. Tea tree oil
Put a few drops of tea tree oil into a small bowl with warm water. Soak your nails in this solution regularly to gradually strengthen them. Aim to do it for five mines, three times a week.
3. Vitamin E oil
This is a good remedy for stronger nails. Its moisturising properties help keep your nails hydrated.
4. Green tea
Simple make a cup of green tea how you normally would. Once its cooled down a little, soak your nails in the brew for 10 to 15 minutes, two times a week.
