For the anon from yesterday(?) asking about nails

(Anonymous) 2026-04-06 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
I meant to reply and then didn't, so hopefully you'll see it today. I have never had strong nails, but last summer mine just got to a horrible state. Peeling, flaking, just absolutely awful, and I tried to use a nail strengthening polish on them, which worked great for a few days, then when the polish started to come off, my nails were left in the worst shape of my entire life.

I searched and found that jojoba oil is fantastic for nails. I got a bottle of some, just a cheap no-name brand, and used a drop or two on my nails multiple times a day.

I also discovered that the brand of hand soap you use seems to have a really huge effect on your nails. My nails were improving, then over Christmas someone gifted me a bottle of Bath & Body Works foaming hand soap. I don't buy theirs because I had noticed it dried out the skin on my hands in the past, but when I started using it, it also messed up my nails! I stopped and went back to my regular gel hand soap (Mrs Meyer's is the brand I use) and it helped a lot.

I also stopped using hand lotion that is mainly meant to smell nice, and started using some that is more serious hydration. I don't like my hands being greasy so I use it at night. It's Gold Bond healing brand, and it really works well.

At this point, my nails are probably in the best shape they've ever been in for my entire life. They still aren't exactly thick and beautiful, but they are not peeling and flaking and they don't split when I look at them cross eyed. I was at work a day or two ago and I realized that they had, on their own, gotten long enough for me to want to cut them, without them being damaged. Usually I am forced into cutting them because they start to peel or split, and I have to cut them short before the damage gets too bad. But this time they had actually gotten long enough that I wanted to cut them just to make them shorter!

I wish you luck, it's honestly a small thing that probably shouldn't matter, but it really irritates me when my nails are messed up.

Thank you for following up with this. I don't have issues with my fingernails (thank goodness, knock on wood). Just the big toenails. The fungus has gotten in the bed, which makes them harden and discolor and sometimes crack.

It might be worth looking into jojoba oil, regardless, so I appreciate your input and hope yours continue to be healthier.

nayrt but I think you may be a different anon? Someone yesterday was talking about weak nails on specific fingers, not necessarily fungus. That said, I don't know if jojoba is recommended for fungus.
