Why are my nails suddenly breaking, brittle, peeling?

There are 4 general areas that contribute to what feels like sudden changes in yoru nails… and it most likely started 4 months ago.

Here are some things to pay attention to that may help you figure out what’s going on with your nails.

The Four Quadrants

Let’s go through the 4 Quadrants questions to see what’s going on in your life that may be contributing.

  1. Home… do you have kids? Pets? Other demands at home that could be putting a strain on your nails?
  2. What do you do for work? Are your hands in water or in contact with paper or cleaners or need frequent hand washing?
  3. Health… have you had any changes in your health lately? Any new medications or other changes?
  4. Stress… stress is always a challenge. Especially in the world we live in. It can be good stress, too, like moving or getting married or in a new relationship or having a baby. 

Hobbies… gardening, animals, rock climbing, arts and craft stuff, pottery… there are lots of hobbies that can affect your nail health. 

Remember, it takes 4+ months for your new nail cells to grow out to your nail tips.

So it will take 4 months to really start seeing a difference in your nails. Be patient with yourself! 

I take a Biotin supplement for my nails and find it helpful. Remember a healthy diet and drinking lots of water gives your body the nourishment it needs to devote more energy to building healthier nail cells.
