Medicine for nail growth. Products for strengthening nails

Strong and healthy nail plates will always look very attractive with proper care at home, even if you don’t like to experiment with different options for fashionable nail design, but limit yourself to a laconic French manicure with an oval or almond-shaped free edge. Unfortunately, not every modern woman can boast of the impeccable appearance of her nails, as over time they can become brittle, flaking, very dull and even slightly yellowish.

Comprehensive nail strengthening will help restore health to your nail plates and stop their further destruction. In this material, we have collected for you the most effective ways to restore the structure of problematic nail plates, as well as procedures for quickly improving their strength under gel polish. You will learn how to gradually strengthen your nails with homemade baths, therapeutic masks and oils, simple gel and biogel, acrylic powder and such modern strengtheners as smart gel or diamond varnish.

First of all, we need to eliminate all the causes that worsen the condition of even very healthy nails day after day. For example, modern dishwashing detergents, washing powders, and cleaning gels contain many chemicals that can cause separation and thinning of the nail plates. Be sure to wear special household gloves before using hard tap water or working with detergents. If the condition of the skin of the hands and nail plates has noticeably worsened after constant household chores, we highly recommend doing paraffin therapy at home weekly, which helps strengthen and grow nails, improves blood microcirculation, and returns velvety and elasticity to the skin of the hands.

But not only external factors negatively affect the condition of the nail plates. Insufficient supply of nutrients to the nail root or a lack of individual elements involved in the formation of onychoblast cells can cause disruption in the development of the horny plate. For example, a lack of the amino acid cysteine ​​reduces the density of the structural protein keratin and nails lose their elasticity and become brittle. Not getting enough zinc, calcium, phosphorus, selenium or copper can also make nails softer, brittle and flaky. What foods should we add to our diet to restore the balance of substances that affect the formation of keratin protein? A high content of cysteine ​​and other substances useful for strengthening nails is present in foods such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli, garlic, bell peppers, and sunflower seeds. It is beneficial to take L-cysteine ​​capsules every day to quickly strengthen weak nails.

The appearance of white spots on the nails indicates that the body lacks calcium, magnesium, and sodium. To prevent your nail plates from becoming dull, brittle and growing well, add to your diet foods such as beans, pumpkin, raisins, dried apricots, walnuts, sprouted wheat seeds, wheat bran, green salad, spinach, parsley.

♦ HOW TO STRENGTHEN YOUR NAILS WITH GEL AT HOME

We would like to note right away that this method does not have a healing or restorative effect on weak nail plates. Strengthening with gel will help to straighten long thin nails that are slightly bunched into a tube and make them more rigid for applying layers of gel polish. If you have a fairly thin but smooth nail plate, it is quite enough to apply a protective layer of base coat under the gel polish and perform polymerization with a UV lamp. After the procedure, your manicure will be quite resistant to chips, cracks and other mechanical damage.

♦ HOW TO STRENGTHEN YOUR NAILS WITH BIO GEL AT HOME

Unlike gel, biogel not only protects natural nail plates from mechanical damage, but also improves the condition of brittle, weakened nails after gel or acrylic extension procedures (often removing extended nails, we gradually disrupt the structure of natural ones). Biogel perfectly smoothes and strengthens the nail, nourishes the plate with the beneficial substances included in its composition, and also moisturizes the cuticle. Under the layer of biogel, the marigolds freely develop a natural protective layer and “breathe”.

♦ ACRYLIC POWDER FOR FAST STRENGTHENING NAILS

Recently, acrylic strengthening of brittle, thin nail plates is gradually replacing gel coating for protection from external influences. Acrylic powder can be sprayed in a thin layer onto the base coat under gel polish or directly onto the last gel polish coat, followed by applying the finishing layer. This finely dispersed polymer powder strengthens the nail plate especially well in tandem with shellac after polymerization in a UV lamp, without increasing the thickness of the nail.

♦ BATHS FOR PEELING, BRITTLE NAILS

Now let’s move on from methods of mechanically strengthening nails to direct medical procedures with long-term effects to improve their condition. Using baths at home with nourishing, moisturizing ingredients that restore the stratum corneum of the nails will help you achieve noticeable results in about a month. It is important that the temperature of the water in the bath with the components dissolved in it is kept at approximately 40°C, so that the active substances penetrate faster into the nail root and plate. The most effective ingredients for medicinal baths include: sea salt, lemon juice, dried chamomile flowers, olive oil, iodine. After the procedure, do not forget to apply nourishing cream to your hands with massage movements. It is enough to perform the procedures several times a week.

♦ MASKS FOR WEAK, CHIPPING NAILS

The masks contain many active ingredients that quickly penetrate the periungual skin and plate, strengthening the structure and accelerating the growth of strong, elastic nails. It is useful to combine the use of homemade masks with medicinal baths, the recipes for which we have posted above. The consistency of the masks for strengthening and growing nails is such that they are not quickly absorbed and you can rub the mixture in for 15-20 minutes (for example, while watching TV).

♦ ESSENTIAL OILS FOR DRY, flaking, brittle nails

The composition of essential oils includes active substances with an increased ability to penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and horny plates. Essential oils can be used as an effective addition to a variety of nail strengthening treatments. In addition, these components not only improve the condition of the nail plates, but also restore rough skin on the hands, returning tone and elasticity to the skin. Add essential oils to medicinal baths, compresses for hands and nails, night and day creams, and include in homemade lotions and masks. The most effective cosmetic oils include ylang-ylang, bergamot, rosemary, tea tree, grapefruit, eucalyptus, myrrh.

♦ VITAMINS AND MICROELEMENTS FOR NORMAL GROWTH OF HEALTHY NAILS

Even if your nails do not break or peel, but look dull, thin and weak, then your body probably does not receive enough nutrients from food. Add vegetables, fruits, herbs to your diet and the condition of your nails will noticeably improve within a few months. Your nails will not only become strong and smooth, but also...

♦ MODERN NAIL STRENGTHENERS

Many well-known brands that produce cosmetic products offer innovative products for strengthening nails. For example, "Smart Gel" restores the natural elasticity and strength of nails, improves their healthy growth over a 4-week course. A balanced combination of Smart Gel components such as collagen, vitamin B5, and silk protein has a beneficial effect on restoring the structure of weakened nail plates and helps improve their protective functions.

Another well-proven product is diamond nail hardener. It contains microscopic diamond particles that enhance the strength of marigolds. Structural microfibers of the strengthener make the plates smoother and denser. If you have very weak and thin nail plates that are prone to splitting and brittleness, then try using diamond polish for a month according to the instructions.

Nails are a real litmus test of our health, so they need to be strengthened both outside and inside. For this purpose, many means and procedures have been invented that can be done not only in the salon, but also at home. Let's talk about external means and more.

First of all, health problems are to blame: nails respond to any problems in the internal organs and their systems with brittleness, thinning or layering. Therefore, first we go to a therapist and get examined, and then we begin strengthening procedures.

Improper nail care is also to blame for the fragility of the nail plates: the use of low-quality manicure devices, sloppy and incorrect manicure. We also forget to take care of the cuticle: the strength of the nail plates largely depends on the condition of the nail bed and cuticle. Nails react negatively to frequent extensions and refusal to wear gloves when doing housework.

Effective ways to strengthen

The fight for nail strength can only be comprehensive. First of all, nails need proper nutrition. Secondly, the menu must include foods high in calcium or phosphorus. This includes not only milk and fish, but also different types of cheese, almonds, and sesame seeds. Also, don’t forget about calcium tablets, dietary supplements and complexes of minerals and vitamins.

Strengthening with gel and biogel

Gel strengthening is more of a build-up than a healing procedure. Two-thirds of the gel consists of proteins (almost the same as in nails) and resins that have a chemical composition similar to nails.

The gel not only corrects the length and strength of the nail plates, but also protects them. How does all this happen? In several stages:

The procedure begins with mandatory disinfection of hands and nails;
then the gloss is removed from the nail plate using a file, the cuticle is processed, and the free edge of the nail plate is shaped;
Now the marigolds need to be degreased, on both sides;
modeling preparation is applied;
the gel itself is applied with a special brush;
now fiberglass is placed on all nail plates, that is, fabric made of silk and linen, which will protect the gel from cracks;
now everything is heated in the rays of an ultraviolet lamp for a couple of minutes;

a model of the nail is formed and the film is removed from it;
All that remains is to file the nail and degrease it again;
the plate is covered with a protective gel.

They need to be adjusted a couple of times a month.

Correction with biogel is simpler, and it does not require a lamp. Therefore, you can strengthen your nails with biogel yourself and at home. It is important to choose the right gel, because there are many varieties:
1. Biogel is transparent. Used as a base coat.
2. Sculptural biogel. Durable and elastic, moisturizes and strengthens.
3. Royal Sealer. Adds shine and whitens the nail plate.
4. S-coating. Quite hard and tough, lengthens nails.
5. Biogel UV. Fixes quickly, ideal for summer manicure.
6. Colored biogel. It is applied in two layers.

The procedure for strengthening nail plates with biogels is carried out in the following sequence:
polish the nails, smooth their surface with a file, treat the cuticle with oil, wipe the plate with polishing paper;
The transparent biogel itself is applied in a thin layer, after which we wait a couple of minutes;
You can put a biogel on top and a fixative on it;
We put a foil cap on each finger, which will help the gels absorb, wait a few minutes. All is ready!

Before doing the procedure, carefully study its implementation on video or go to the salon.

Nail baths

They can be from different components. It is important to use the cream after the bath and wear cotton gloves at night: after the bath, the skin on your hands may become dry. Read more about this procedure below.

Strengthening with acrylic powder

Acrylic is not considered the most useful thing for nails, but in fact, when adding extensions, the nail plates suffer more from filing than from this material. But acrylic is very durable, so acrylic powder is also used in combination with gel. To do this, you need a base gel (adhesive UV gel necessary for adhesion of the nail and artificial materials), odorless acrylic powder and an antiseptic. And we act like this:

1. We treat the plates and hands themselves with an antiseptic.
2. Now degrease the nails and treat them with a polishing buff (soft file).
3. We select tips, apply them, and sand them.
4. Cover each plate with primer and wait three minutes.
5. Apply base gel to already dry nails from the tips to the center of the plate.
6. Dust with acrylic powder and shake off any remaining residue.
7. We wait another half a minute. cover with a second layer of gel, without reaching the cuticle.
8. Powder again and dry with an ultraviolet lamp.
9. You can apply the gel with powder a third time, but not necessarily
10. Grind the nail plates.

It is important to know: all instruments, as well as hands, must be sterile clean during the procedure!

Homemade recipes for strengthening nails

There are really a lot of options here: baths, oils, and masks. The main thing is to treat your nails with care when performing a manicure and check all products for allergies.

Oils

Nails are similar in composition to hair, because they are also horny formations of the skin. Therefore, oils are also suitable for strengthening them.

Base oils
The best for nail plates are olive, grape, almond and jojoba wax. They can be either rubbed into the nail plate or used for baths. In both cases, the oils are heated, and in a water bath. By the way, you can even use oils for eyelashes - they also have a positive effect on the condition of the nail plate.
To prepare an oil bath you need olive oil, raw egg and honey. We heat everything up (slightly so that the protein does not curdle) and hold your hands for a third of an hour. No cream needed here.

Essential oils
They are needed as an addition to olive or almond oil, because aromatic oils can enhance certain effects of the base oils.

Lemon and bergamot
They whiten nails great. Rub in a couple of drops, combining with the base;

Ylang-ylang and patchouli
Patchouli oil strengthens the cuticle and nail plates and gives them shine. Ylang-ylang oil is not only an aphrodisiac and hair remedy, but it is also suitable for nails: it strengthens, polishes, and relieves inflammation. It is used with jojoba wax in a 1:1 ratio. Both patchouli and ylang-ylang stop nail splitting. Rosemary and lavender are suitable for the same purposes.

tea tree
Fungal remedy. In addition, it relieves inflammation of the cuticle and generally the skin around the nail plates.

Important! For too depleted and thinned nails, vitamins in the oil are added to the oil mixtures: tocopherol and vitamin A.

Baths

There are many options. It is enough to stop at a few recipes.

Sea salt bath
Sea salt can be found in cosmetic stores, pharmacies, and simply in the supermarket. Dissolve a tablespoon of this product in a liter of water and hold your hands for half an hour. Afterwards, don’t forget about the cream or the same oil, which can be applied to the skin of your hands. We do a third of the month and take a break of a couple of weeks. And again we treat with salt!

Iodine baths
Nails need iodine for splitting. Add 6-7 drops of iodine to the same solution of salt and water (and in the same proportions) and hold your hands for half an hour. The water should turn brown after adding the product. You can also coat your nail plates with iodine once every seven days.

Lemon baths
Yellow citrus not only whitens, but also saves too fragile and depleted nails. In addition, this citrus fruit slows down the growth of the cuticle. We take a larger fruit, cut it into two parts and dip the upper phalanges of our fingers into them! We wait a quarter of an hour, wash our hands and smear the cuticle with cream or oil.

Wine baths
No need to be surprised, there are such ones too and they have a beneficial effect not only on the nails themselves, but also on the skin of the hands. We need 200-250 ml of wine (both red and white are suitable). Heat and add all the same sea salt (teaspoon). We keep our hands in the wine for about a third of an hour.

Nail masks

To create them, they use red pepper, the same oils, cinnamon... Some masks not only strengthen the nail plate, but also stimulate its growth.

Nail mask for the night
It is made from lemon juice and olive oil that we already know. You only need a tablespoon of oil. Heat and mix with a few drops of lemon juice. We apply all this to the nail plates (lightly massage them) and put on gloves made of natural fabric. We do this once every 3-7 days.

Nail mask with mustard
Pour mustard powder (15 g) with warm water and mix with 5 g of honey. Apply it carefully to your fingertips and put on rubber gloves on top. We endure a third of an hour. We do not touch our face with our fingers. In the same way, we make a nail mask from honey and red pepper.

Cinnamon oil mask
It whitens and stimulates growth at the same time. Take 15 g of clay (white) and add milk. The mixture should have the consistency of toothpaste. Add a drop of cinnamon oil.

Wax mask
Melt natural wax (20g). Add the yolk of a hard-boiled egg and peach oil (5g) to it. This nail mask is suitable for use every day.

Preventive medicinePpolishing nails

Even if everything is in order, you need to take care of your nails. To prevent them from becoming fragile, vitamin and mineral complexes are needed. Here are just some options:
Edelstar BIO-01 Actinail;
Arkopharma Forcapil Vitamins for Hair Loss;
Doppelherz aktiv;
LADY-S FORMULA;
Phytophaner.
In addition, any vitamin and mineral complexes for pregnant women help. Supplements with chitosan also have not the worst reviews. It is also recommended to consume eggshells.

How to save results

To ensure that you enjoy strong and healthy nails for a long time, follow a few rules. Use nail polish to a minimum. Only special, strengthening ones are allowed.
Also, do not use acetone, and apply special medicinal products from pharmacies under any varnish. Forget about metal files. It is better to find one with a crystal coating.

Nails and hands are always visible. That is why it is worth paying attention to them and doing everything to make them beautiful. Well, healthy too. There are many possibilities, so just don’t be lazy and make masks and baths. Also, eat vitamins and healthy foods.

The condition of nails is a very important indicator of the normal functioning of the body; just like skin and hair, it can signal illness or lack of vitamins. Nails begin to peel and break; often even a good nail technician will not be able to help. To find a way out, let's look at the main causes of fragility and possible options for avoiding problems.

Causes of brittle nails

1. Constant contact with chemicals - varnishes, products containing acetone, various household chemicals, solutions and acids. It is worth periodically giving your nails a rest, not using varnishes, and wearing gloves when working with chemicals. When choosing a varnish, do not focus on color and drying speed; bright, quick-drying varnishes are the most harmful.
2. Lack of microelements. Deficiency of potassium, iron, vitamins A, E, D causes brittle nails. Review your diet and consult a specialist who will help you choose the right vitamins.
3. Heredity, presence of diseases. Several human diseases are determined by the condition of the nails. The most common diagnoses are thyroid diseases. Nails become brittle during pregnancy and breastfeeding, because beneficial elements from the mother’s body are partially lost to the child.
4. Nutrition, depression.
5. Dry air. Nails suffer from too dry air, especially in winter when the temperature is constantly changing. Make sure there is enough humidity in the house, wear gloves in winter before going outside.
6. Cuticle problems. The cuticle protects the nail from the external environment, germs, bacteria and transfers beneficial elements from the body to the nail plate. Any damage, disease, fungus causes brittle nails.
7. Incorrect care. Few people know that it is impossible nippers, you need to file them with a glass or ceramic file so as not to damage the skin.
