After Years of Picking My Nails, This Is the Routine That Finally Got Me to Let Them Grow

By

I finally got a good regimen down to keep my hands and nails healthy using products that, in some cases, literally hold my nails together.

I was never a nail biter. Instead of using my teeth, I was a nail picker. Like, with my nails against other nails, which is kind of worse because it's basically nail cannibalism.

It was a compulsion to have my nails be even. It didn't matter if they were short or I gave myself a bunch of hang nails in the process, I would pick and pick at my nails until they were all passably uniform and straight. So God forbid I'd break a nail — I would spend the rest of my day picking at all of them until they were right.

It has taken me a long time to get over this. I didn't do anything dissimilar to what people recommend for nail biters, except I also started keeping a nail file on me at all times so I could iron things out on one nail without having to pick at all of them. Add in a genetic predisposition for weak and flaky nails, I really didn't think I could have nice-looking nails until maybe two or three years ago.

I finally got a good routine down to keep my hands and nails healthy using products that, in some cases, literally hold my nails together. And all of a sudden, they started to grow.

Part of nail care is hand care and that means keeping them clean and moisturized. I keep on my bathroom sink both hand wash and lotion so I remember to moisturize right after washing.

There is a Deborah Lippman quote that pretty accurately sums up my hand washing and lotion routine, and you can extra-trust her because she's Deborah Lippman. Anyway, it goes, "Think of your nails and hands like your face. It wouldn't occur to most women to wash their face and not apply a moisturizer, but they wash hands over and over without applying hand lotion." 

Well said, Deb.

 The apothecary style bottles get me every time.
