Common Mistakes to Avoid
Common Mistakes to Avoid When it comes to nail care, there are a couple of common pitfalls that Dr. Stern highlights as major no-nos. Firstly, it's crucial to pay attention to the ingredients in your nail care products, just as you would with your skincare routine. Avoiding harsh chemicals like formaldehyde is paramount, as they can exacerbate brittle nails rather than improve them. Instead go for glycolic acid as it helps to remove dead superficial cells.

But it's not just about what you put on your nails — it's also about the tools you use. Emery boards, while seemingly harmless, can actually do more harm than good. They create tiny crevices at the nail tip, leading to dreaded split breakage and peeling. Dr. Stern's solution? Switch to a glass or crystal file instead such as Chillhouse On the Mend,, $20. Its crystal nail file's smoother, cylindrical surface not only prevents damage but also ensures a more precise and effective filing experience. Whereas, the nail serum helps to deeply nourish the skin and helps to restore nail bed with a healthy shine.
