Even though ridges may be part of aging, there are several ways to care for your nails to minimize their appearance and improve their overall strength:
1. Moisturize Regularly
Use a hand cream or nail oil that’s rich in ingredients like vitamin E or shea butter, especially after washing your hands or using cleaning products.
2. Stay Hydrated
Drinking enough water each day is essential for nail health. Dehydrated nails are more prone to brittleness and visible ridges.
3. Focus on Nutrition
Eat a balanced diet with a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Pay special attention to:
- Vitamin A and C (for healthy nail cells)
