Brittle nails that peel or split into layers affect as much as 20% of the population.
Although both fingers and toe nails splitting and peeling could be the sign of an underlying health condition, if only your fingernails are affected the cause is likely to be external. In most cases, moisture is the cause of splitting nails. Repeatedly wetting and drying your hands can cause the nails to dry out, leaving them brittle and more likely to split easily. Too much moisture can also weaken the nails, softening them and causing them to peel.
What can you do to help? Wear gloves while hands are immersed in water to prevent nails softening and use products that contain forms of Essential Fatty Acids to relieve dry and brittle nails.
