What to do if you get skin on your nails?

• Keep your hands well hydrated every day: One of the main causes of skin that appears on the nails is due to having dry skin. To prevent this from happening, it is important to moisturize your hands regularly. Use one moisturizing hand cream after washing them and before going to bed, so that it stays acting all night. You can also use coconut oil, olive oil or urea to moisturize your nails and cuticles. 
• Don't bite your nails: The fact of biting the nails is one of the main causes of skin on the nails. If you bite your nails, you are going to have to stop doing it if you want to stop having this problem. To do this, you can resort to a bitter nail polish or try to keep your hands busy doing other activities. 
• Do not cut the cuticles: As you know, the cuticles are the skin that surrounds the base of the nail. Cutting them can cause infections and other nail problems. Instead of cutting them, what you can do is push back the cuticles with an orange stick or nail brush. You can also soften them with oil and then gently push them back. If you go to a beauty center to do a manicure, ask that they not be cut.
• Always wear gloves when cleaning: If you work with chemicals or cleaning products, always wear gloves to protect your hands and nails. Chemicals and water can dry out your skin and nails, which can lead to breakouts and other problems that you can easily avoid with a little caution. 
• Do not use old nail polish: You may not know it, but the truth is that old nail polish can dry out and damage your nails and cuticles. If you use nail polish, always choose one in good condition and of quality. It's also important to remove nail polish regularly to prevent it from building up and causing damage to your nails. 
• Don't use your nails for what you shouldn't: certain customs such as using the nails to open cans or even as a tool, can cause them to be damaged and more skin to come out. Avoid following these types of practices.
