Natural Solutions for Stronger Nails as You Age

As we grow older, our bodies change in many ways—including our nails. For many, like my aunt, aging brings increased nail splitting, which can be both painful and unattractive. While store-bought nail hardeners promise quick fixes, they often come with high price tags and harsh chemicals. The good news? Simple, natural remedies can help prevent nail splitting while being gentle on your body and your wallet.

Why Do Nails Split with Age?

Nail splitting (onychoschizia) happens when the layers of the nail peel or separate. Common causes include:

• Frequent exposure to water (washing dishes, swimming)

• Harsh chemicals (cleaning products, acetone)

• Nutritional deficiencies (low biotin, iron, or protein)

• Natural aging (reduced oil production, slower circulation)

Understanding these triggers is the first step toward healthier nails.
