Do you suffer from torn fingernails? Do you have white lines or dots on your nails?
Unfortunately, the causes can be very diverse. But the good news is that you can usually fix them relatively easily.
White dots on the fingernails? This does not have to be!
In most cases, the white spots are due to a zinc deficiency. So you either take too little zinc or you eat too much sugar, which 'robs' your body of zinc.
The solution is therefore more zinc or less sugar :-)
Why are beautiful nails important?
Your fingernails have many tasks: Du verwendest sie als Werkzeug, zum Beispiel wenn du eine Dose öffnen möchtest. Sie helfen dir ausserdem dabei, dich zu kratzen. The fingernails serve as a protective shield for our fingers against infections and injuries.
Naturally beautiful and healthy fingernails signal that all is well with your body and are a must in many women's beauty routines. The reason for this is that fingernails are constantly visible in everyday life.
Brittle and torn fingernails?
They not only look unsightly, but can also be very annoying. For example, if you keep getting caught in your new embroidery jumper. Brittle nails are often due to a nutrient deficiency. For example, zinc, biotin, selenium, pantothenic acid and/or L-histidine are often lacking.

Care tricks for beautiful fingernails
Take breaks from polishing
Many conventional nail polishes contain ingredients that stress the natural nail. Give your nails a breather every now and then so that they can regenerate. When buying nail polish remover, make sure that it is free of acetone.
Avoid artificial nails
Artificial nails made of gel or acrylic can conceal unsightly, brittle nails well, but they put a lot of stress on the natural nail. The horny layer suffers and becomes much more susceptible to infection. In the case of a fungal disease, this remains undetected under the artificial nails.
Olive oil cares for the nail
Olive oil contains vitamin E, which supports blood circulation and regeneration of damaged nails. To do this, apply a few drops of olive oil to the fingernails and hands. After gently massaging in, let it work for about two minutes and rinse with warm water.
