A common nail problem among women, brittle nails make nails more susceptible to cracking, breaking, chipping, and splitting.

Brittle nails are often caused by chemicals, detergents, allergens, and frequent polishing and polish removal. Most of the time, they are simply the result of frequent exposure to water.

Though it may seem counterintuitive, frequent dish-washing, hand-washing, or just plain living in a dry environment can dry out the nails. Natural nails typically get drier with age as well, as it is more difficult for the body to retain moisture. Sometimes, however, brittle nails are the result of an iron deficiency or other medical condition.

Thin nails can be similar to brittle nails in that they snag and split more easily than healthy nails. They can also peel or tear at the most inconvenient time.

The same environmental factors that cause brittle nails can also cause thin nails. If your hands are in and out of the water often, your nail cells experience stress as they constantly swell and shrink in size to accommodate the presence or lack of moisture.

Environmental trauma also contributes to the splitting associated with both brittle and weak nails. The nails of those who garden or do daily physical labor like construction or domestic chores are particularly susceptible.

Yellow nails can turn the look of natural nails from fresh to dull and downright unattractive. Although it may not mean your nails are unhealthy, yellow nails can give that impression.

Yellowing of the nails happens over time to frequent polish-wearers as the pigments from polishes stain nails. Another culprit is the harsh acetone found in most polish removers, which can turn once bright, healthy-looking nails dingy.

Medically, yellow nails can be an indication of a fungal infection, an ongoing respiratory ailment, or other medical condition.

Luckily, Perfect Formula has the beauty remedy for yellow nails. If you suffer from the staining effect of polishes or effects of harsh acetone nail polish remover, you can refresh your natural nails with a tailored tonic.
