A tool for strengthening nails is not a luxury, but a “must have” for every woman. Luckily, it’s very easy to make your own.
Nails can become brittle and brittle for many reasons – as Daisy Kalnina, nail technician and creator of her own range of vegan nail polishes, says, “the list is endless”.
Marcela Correa, medical pedicure specialist and salon owner, notes that silk nails and acrylic extensions look great but end up damaging. Also, she adds, it’s easy to damage the nails if a woman works a lot with her hands, and running, playing tennis and just wearing tight shoes are dangerous for the nails.
But there’s good news: “To keep your nails healthy and strong, you don’t need to spend a lot of time combing your hair,” says Correa. According to her, the home remedies take effect in two weeks.

Cooking method: Combine all the ingredients in a cup and immerse your fingertips in it for 10 minutes. “The mask will nourish the nails thanks to the moisturizing and fortifying properties of olive oil and the disinfecting properties of lemon”, explains Sarah Trabasini, manager of the premium spa. Correa recommended adding garlic to the composition of the product: “It contains selenium, which promotes the growth and strengthening of nails,” she explains. The mask should be used two to three times a week.

As Slow Beauty author Shel Pink explains, the key to strong nails is taking care of your cuticles. “If you take care of it, you create the right conditions for the new part of the nail, helping it to grow healthy and strong,” says Pink. Here’s what she recommends doing for your cuticles yourself at home.
Ingredients:
- 15 grams of jojoba oil,
- 1-2 drops of tea tree oil.
Cooking method: mix the oils in a dark glass bottle, close it. In the evening, apply a drop of the mixture to each nail, rubbing the oil into the cuticles – the product will nourish the skin, restore the strength of the nail bed and promote nail growth.
