2. Moisturising & Nail Recovery

1. Apply a aceite de uñas o aceite para cutículas (jojoba or vitamina E–based) diario.
2. Massage into the placa para clavos y cutícula to help restore flexibility and hydration.
3. A nail-strengthening serum o keratin treatment can also help rebind the surface.

3. Avoid Dehydrating Products

1. If you must wear polish, use a nourishing capa base designed for weak or damaged nails.

4. Keep Nails Short & Protected

1. Keep the free edge smooth to prevent catching or peeling.
