An excellent home remedy for weak and brittle nails is to apply, before any nail polish, a homemade nail-strengthening base. See the recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 clove of garlic, finely crushed, 1 colorless base
Method of preparation
Place the cloves and the well-roasted garlic clove inside the colorless base and shake well. Let it rest for a few hours and then apply 1 layer of this strengthening base to the nails per day, for 7 consecutive days, making one layer on top of the other. After the 3rd day, and, consequently, the 3rd layer, you can remove this enamel and start from the beginning so as not to leave a very thick layer.
Cloves and garlic have antimicrobial properties, and in addition, they strengthen the nails.
This homemade strengthening base can be used every time you paint your nails, and thanks to cloves, the smell of garlic will not remain on the nails after applying the nail polish.
Before using any nail medication, consult your dermatologist to assess your case, as brittle nails can be caused by various diseases, such as lack of vitamins, anemias, thyroid diseases, psoriasis, and even some types of cancer.
