How do you help dry nails?

I need some help please. My nails get dry and crack and I don't know how to help it. Is there some sort of oil or something i can do to help restore moisture?





Thanks.How do you help dry nails?
Dry, Brittle Nails Nutrition Tips





1. Use nail polish remover no more than once a week.





2. Avoid nail polish removers with acetone and remove nail polish at most once a week.





3. Wear gloves.





4. Avoiding prolonged exposure to water, such as swimming.





5. Avoiding exposure to chemicals that irritate the skin and nails.





6. Use hand lotion on your nails, too. Rub it in after you wash your hands or take a shower.





7. Several vitamins and minerals have been proposed for the prevention of brittle nails.





8. Use a glass file or an emery board instead of a metal nail file.


Also, make sure you file only in one direction.





-Petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline) or a thick, water-washable cream acts as an emollient; it holds in moisture around and under your nails





-Put a thick layer of petroleum jelly on their hands when getting ready for bed, then wear cotton gloves overnight. This is especially helpful in winter, when hands and nails dry out quickly.





-Use a half-cup of warm olive oil and soak your hands for 15 to 30 minutes. Olive oil is the best because it's natural.





-Beware of nail polish removers, polish removers that contain acetone are drying.











Best of Luck. :)How do you help dry nails?
