Brittle nails are very common, and there are many triggers - age, diet, stress, climate, and more. Several steps should be taken to improve your nail’s growth and minimize splitting. Most people get stronger nails from vitamin supplements and temporarily using a nail strengthener.

Dry skin (or ashy skin) is extremely common and caused by many things, harsh or scented soaps, household products, cleaning supplies, clothing, as well as dry climates, genetics, medical conditions and medications. Over-the-counter options work really well to combat the dryness.

Eczema (or atopic dermatitis) is very common and worsens in dry climates, in the winter, and when sick. All the extra hand washing and hand sanitizing with COVID have not helped. Moisturizers are an essential tool for preventing and minimizing skin flares. Other tricks help as well.

Keratosis pilaris (KP or chicken skin or goosebump skin) happens when your hair follicles get plugged up on the upper outer arms, outer thighs and bottom, and sometimes the cheeks. This makes the skin feel rough and bumpy. It is easy to treat with the right over-the-counter acid-based moisturizers.
