It seems like everything about our bodies goes through serious changes as we age. And our nails are not exempt. If you’re struggling with brittle nails, ridges or discoloration, you could be dealing with aging hands and nails. And that calls for an updated nail care guide!
“Nails tend to grow more slowly and become dull and brittle with age which may cause them to break more easily,” explains Washington D.C. dermatologist Tina Alster, MD. “Nail color may change from translucent to yellow or opaque (white). Ridging of the nails may also be observed.”
That means your nail care kit should include more than just a strengthener.
We already know that our skin loses collagen as we age, and so do our nails. That can result in weakened nails splitting and breaking. And since we’re looking to renew our manicure, it makes sense to consider solutions for aging hands as well. From creating the perfect stage with the right hand cream to getting your nails the hydration and strengthening they need, your mani needs a more comprehensive approach. Here are our favorite picks for keeping mature nails bright, healthy and strong!
