What is the reason for peeling nails?

If any of your friends find that the skin around their nails is peeling, they should pay attention to whether their body is getting enough nutrition and whether they are lacking in trace elements. You can add some exercise and supplement vitamin C in your life to enhance your body's immunity.

Classification of total peeling on the edge of fingernails:

1. Peeling around the finger edges

Are there always hangnails around the edges of your fingers, and dead skin that comes and goes? This is a sign of poor blood circulation at the end of the nail! There are many micro-capillaries gathered at the base of the nail. When the blood in the body becomes thicker, it is difficult for it to pass through these tiny micro-capillaries, causing the skin at the base of the nail to peel or curl up due to poor blood circulation.

Tips: Increasing the amount of exercise is the main way to speed up blood circulation. At the same time, supplementing nutrients such as vitamin C and protein can promote the synthesis of collagen.

2. Horizontal or vertical lines appear on the nail surface

A normal nail surface should be smooth, without obvious vertical or horizontal lines. The surface of the nails is not smooth and has vertical lines. This usually happens when you overwork or overuse your brain. When you lack sleep, these vertical lines will appear very clearly. If vertical lines persist, it may be a sign of poor heart function; if horizontal lines appear, it indicates insufficient Qi and blood.

Tips: For vertical lines, you need to adjust your work and rest schedule and get enough sleep. If it is horizontal lines, consume more blood-enriching foods, such as red dates and donkey-hide gelatin, to ensure sufficient qi and blood.
