This can be the result of too little or too much moisture. The former from repeatedly getting the nails wet and then drying them, and the latter from prolonged water exposure during activities like household chores.

Damage, peeling and flaking might also be the result of one-too-many acrylic manicures or ripping your gel mani off.

Weak nails may also be associated with a deficiency in B vitamins, calcium, iron or fatty acids and age.

Nails are porous and absorb water readily. When nails absorb water, they expand, and when they dry out, they contract. Repeated cycles of expansion and contraction weaken the nail structure over time, leading to brittleness and peeling.

Water alone is not the only culprit. Harsh detergents, cleaning agents and solvents often used in household chores can further strip nails of their natural oils and weaken them.

To maintain strong nails, it's essential to strike a balance between keeping them adequately hydrated and preventing excessive exposure to water and harsh chemicals. Moisturising and protecting your nails with Self Love Oil can help mitigate the negative effects of water exposure.

Make sure to apply Self Love Oil before swimming to help protect your nails against water absorption.

Stop using products that dehydrate nails such as nail polish, remover, hand sanitiser and anything solvent or alcohol based. Minimise exposure to water or chemicals by wearing gloves while doing the dishes or cleaning.

Yes, cuticle oil is the number one product to use to prolong your manicures, gels and SNS. It extends the life of your manicure by preventing chipping, cracking and lifting. Simply apply to the cuticles and massage gently, enhancing both health and appearance.

Pamper your nails daily or as often as you can. For best results, make it a part of your nightly routine.

Absolutely! From the delicate to the robust, cuticle oil is a universal love letter to nails of every kind.

Apply a drop to each nail and gently massage in, but don’t forget the underside of your nails.

Cuticle oil is designed with specific molecular weight oils, penetrating different layers of the nail plate and nutrients to target nail and cuticle health.

Cuticle oil doesn't directly make your nails grow faster, but it does promote healthier nail growth by nourishing and protecting the nails and the surrounding skin. Cuticle oil prevents the nails from absorbing water which can cause nail breakages, peeling and splitting. Think of it as the perfect soil for your nails to flourish.
