Restoring thin, rigid nails comes down to one thing: reintroducing moisture. “Using an ultra-hydrating moisturizer rich in vitamin E or tocopherol — the fat-soluble vitamin that's an excellent antioxidant and moisturizer — will even [out] your nail plate (hard part of the nail),” says Mary Lennon, founder of Côte. Brittle nails (medically referred to as “onychoschizia”) is a common dermatological complaint, says Dr. Ahmad Chaudhry, who spoke to Elite Daily for this article. He says the best nail oils for brittle nails contain vitamin E ( which can also help prevent the yellowing of your nails), jojoba oil, almond oil, castor oil, clove oil, sunflower oil, and/or olive oil.

Another Naissance product we adore is their Virgin Avocado Oil, which is rich in vitamins and minerals and is cruelty-free and GMO-free. Sesame Oil It can eliminate yellowing of the nails. If you’re constantly switching between polish colors, you may notice your nails switching to a yellow tint. While holding off on polish for a few days can help the shade fade, Green says that applying vitamin E oil can also help. “However, excessively yellow nails may be a symptom of a fungal infection, which vitamin E does not rid,” she adds. “If your nails are in this condition, first see a doctor before deciding on how to treat them.” A more recent literature review found that evidence about whether vitamin E improved or worsened scarring was inconclusive. In the past, you’ve probably focused more on the style of your nails — making tough decisions like squoval or almond-shaped, gel manicure or press-ons, and which buzzy nail trend is worth the salon trip. (We’re fans of colorful French tips ourselves.)

Jin Soon Choi knows a thing or two about nails. One of the most influential nail artists in the industry, she’s been named the “Nail Guru” and has worked her magic on the nails of celebrities and runway models, and has even been featured in several magazine cover shoots. Drawing from her many years in the limelight and her experience owning four spas, she created a line of nail products, like this one, that is good for you and the planet. The JINsoon oil is definitely a luxury product, but we thought the results made it well worth the price tag. Since starting to use the oil, we’ve had far fewer hangnails and haven’t had any nails break, plus it seemed to offer some protection from acetone and other harsh ingredients during a manicure.Cuticles are literally and figuratively the root of nails, so it’s important to keep them happy and healthy, and cuticle oil is the best way to do that. “It keeps the nails flexible so they bend but don't break, it prevents the layers of the natural nail from peeling, and it prevents hangnails,” Kandalec says. “And if you wear enhancements, like gel or acrylic, it prevents them from curling away from the enhancement, which can lead to lifting and allow bacteria to get between the nail and enhancement.” The ingredients are the most important part,” says Julie Kandalec, a nail artist in New York City. “You should make sure the ingredients have molecules that are small enough to penetrate the skin (versus something with a large molecule that just sits on top and doesn't actually help).” L’Occitane’s beloved cuticle oil may be simple, but it is mighty. With a blend of shea butter, almond oil, castor oil, and avocado oil, it’s deeply hydrating and leaves nail beds nourished and soft. The brush tip applicator makes it easy to apply the cuticle oil with no mess or wasted time. Plus, it smells absolutely heavenly. Vitamin E may alleviate the dryness, itching, and flaking associated with eczema, or atopic dermatitis. At least one study has linked topical vitamin E to a reduction in psoriasis symptoms. Even better, the study showed that there were no serious side effects.
