Nail Conditioners

Thank You Hayley644 for your advice will definitely look into getting a Almond Oil conditioning Pen sounds great.

I take a Swisse supplement for hair skin and nails and have also taken Q Silica which helps with nail growth, I also use a Body Shop Almond oil nail pen which conditions nails and cuticles.

Margi59, Burt’s Bees makes a product called Lemon Butter Cuticle Crème, and it receives good reviews. Don’t think that you have to buy a commercial nail care product. You can use something like jojoba oil, almond oil, rosehip oil etc for your nails and cuticles.

I have very fragile nails that break easily. My nails do not tolerate some mainstream brands with more harsh chemicals. My nails are much better if I use nail polishes, nail polish remover etc from brands that formulate products with less harsh chemicals. (So far, there is no such thing as nail polish without man-made/synthetic chemicals.)

Mainstream nail polish removers can really strip the moisture from my nails, but they are much better if I use a remover such as Fresh Therapies Nail Polish Remover or a soy-based remover from another brand. I also highly recommend that you use a crystal nail file which is not so harsh on fragile nails.

There are an increasing lot of brands making nail polishes that are kinder to nails:

Also, look out for some great indie nail polish brands that are not so well-known.

You may also wish to take a supplement for hair, nails and skin from brands such as Blackmores. Many people claim that biotin is beneficial for healthier nails.

Thank You cityglenda for your reply and for your advice much appreciated have thought about buying Sally Hansen 7 in 1 nail conditioner maybe that might help.

Will definitely consider that I may also need a Calcium Supplement.

I have been applying Sally Hansen Cuticle Massage Cream for years plus I use hand cream often thought the day and then I apply a heavier cream when I go to bed.
My Mum uses Revitanail Hand & Nail Cream but I just use whatever I have in the cupboard at the time.
You might try getting more Calcium in your diet or taking a supplement.
