According to Pat Wingert and Barabra Kantrowitz of everydayhealth.com, taking care of our nails as we age require some adjustments. Here are the tips they gave in maintaining a healthy nails.
Nails are living tissue, just like skin. In fact, they're composed primarily of the skin protein keratin. As your skin gets drier with age, your nails do, too. But that doesn't mean you have to resign yourself to a lifetime of ugly nails. You just need to treat them with more kindness and gentleness.
Don't overuse products like nail polish, nail hardeners, and polish remover.
Keep your nails clean and dry; this prevents bacteria from collecting under the nails.
