By any chance, how do you manage the side effects of getting gel nails for a long time, where your nails become paper-thin and tear? ㅠㅠ
2026.05.17 17:23
For the past few months, I've been getting gel nails non-stop just to cheer myself up. However, when I had them soak-off two days ago and looked at my bare nails, the surface was all scratched white and the thickness had become almost paper-thin. They started bending and tearing whenever I applied pressure to my fingertips. It's so stressful because my nail beds sting and throb just from water touching them. Should I just endure this by applying over-the-counter nail strengtheners (like keratin) until they grow out? Or do I need to go to a dermatologist or a professional nail salon to get absorbent nourishing care to make them stronger quickly? I'm not sure, so I'm asking for advice. Please, anyone who has successfully regenerated their nails, share some tips in the comments.

- 02CommentsIt's easy to neglect moisturizing the shins, and it's surprisingly difficult when they're itchy as well.260026.11.04
- 03CommentsI sympathize with you saying that when your arms are rough, you want to rub them, but you want to know their condition first haha.220026.11.04
- 01CommentsIf it stings even after applying moisturizing cream, it might indicate that your skin barrier is weakened rather than just being dry. If it were me, instead of getting a skin booster right away, I would consider reducing the use of irritating products for a while, stabilize your skin condition with soothing care, and then think about the procedure.400026.10.30
- 02CommentsIt must be inconvenient if your lips dry out again even after applying lip balm. Would it be helpful to review your moisturizing method if you could list the lip products you are currently using and when the stinging occurs?410026.10.30
- 03CommentsIf it is difficult to go out without lip balm, it must be really miserable every change of season. I sympathize with your curiosity about whether it is simply dryness or if there is another cause.310026.10.31
