Nails that are peeling from excessive hand washing, chemical exposure, or wear and tear from nail polish can be embarrassing. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to heal your nails and prevent peeling. Stop wearing nail polish or manicure for a while and focus on restoring moisture to your nail beds with oils and lotions. Take precautions, such as wearing gloves when cleaning, using tools like a paper cutter to open packages, and taking supplements to strengthen nails.
Steps
Treating peeling nails
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/30/Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop- Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/30/Stop-Your-Nails-from- Peeling-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Remove nail polish with an acetone-free nail polish remover. If you find your nails are peeling, you need to stop applying nail polish for a few weeks to help the nails heal. In the meantime, you’ll need to purchase an acetone-free nail polish solution (acetone dries out the cuticles, so it’s best to avoid) to wash your nail polish off. [1] X Research Source
- Do not peel or pick up nail polish. Doing so can be very damaging to the nails, and the act of peeling or picking often peels off a layer of the nail.
- Use a cotton ball or cotton swab to remove nail polish. Gently wipe each nail until the paint is clean.
- For gel or shellac nails, you’ll need an acetone nail polish remover to clean.
- Always moisturize after removing nail polish. Even acetone-free solutions can dry out nails.

Trim your nails after showering to prevent your nails from cracking. To help your nails heal, you’ll need to keep them short for a few weeks. After showering, trim your nails to the length of your fingertips. Trim your nails like this once a week until the nails stop peeling. [2] X Research Source
- Nails will be softer after bathing, so this is the best time to clip them and help prevent further breakage.
- Remember to use clean nail clippers. You can disinfect tools before use with warm water and dish soap.

File your nails round so they don’t get tangled up. Place the file parallel to the tip and file from the edge of the nail to the center of the nail, and from the middle of the nail continue to file down the opposite edge. Always file in the same direction (do not pull back and forth – this increases the risk of nail breakage or further peeling). Continue filing until the nail is rounded instead of square.
- Always file after nail clipping to smooth out rough edges.
- Use a fine-grained file to smooth the nail surface. If you want to shorten your nails, you will need to use a coarser grain file before smoothing the nail with a fine grain file.

Rub a moisturizing oil into your nails and cuticles every day. There are a variety of nail oils that you can choose from. The best type is cuticle oil available at cosmetic stores. You can use natural oils that are also available at home, such as olive oil, coconut oil or argan oil. Use a dropper to apply 1 drop of oil to each nail, then massage into the nail bed. [3] X Research Sources
- The oil will hydrate the nail, so the nail is also less prone to peeling.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/07/Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop- Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/07/Stop-Your-Nails-from- Peeling-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Apply hand cream regularly to rehydrate damaged nails. While dealing with peeling nails, don’t forget to keep your hands and nails moist as well. Use moisturizer several times a day, especially after washing your hands. [4] X Research Sources
- Get in the habit of carrying lotion around all day to keep your nails moist at all times.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/02/Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop- Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/02/Stop-Your-Nails-from- Peeling-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Stop applying nail polish, apply acrylic nails and gel nails. Maybe you really want to hide your peeling nails under a fresh coat of polish, or simply enjoy getting your nails done at the salon, but you should stop for 2-3 weeks from applying any nail polish. Your nails need time to moisturize and heal, and nail polish, nail polish, and gel nails take longer to heal and can do more damage. [5] X Research Sources
- Once you’ve started painting your nails again, make sure you don’t peel off the old polish.
Take preventive measures
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ee/Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop- Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ee/Stop-Your-Nails-from- Peeling-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wear gloves to protect your nails when cleaning and doing household chores. Nails can become dry when exposed to a lot of water and cleaning chemicals. Next time, every time you wash the dishes or clean the house, put on rubber gloves before you start working. [6] X Research Sources
- Gloves aren’t just good for your nails – they also protect your hands from dryness or irritation from cleaning products.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/84/Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop- Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/84/Stop-Your-Nails-from- Peeling-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Dry your hands every time they get wet. You might associate water with moisturizing, but water actually takes away moisture from your skin and nails. Do not let water stand on the skin. Every time you wash your hands or they get wet, you need to dry them with a clean towel.
- Apply moisturizer after drying to keep hands and nails moist.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/32/Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop- Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/32/Stop-Your-Nails-from- Peeling-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use something to open the package instead of a fingernail. Don’t use your fingernails to scrape labels, pick up tape or stickers, and avoid using your nails to open boxes, peel envelopes and other packaging. Instead, you should use a paper cutter, box cutter, or scissors to open the package. [7] X Research Sources
- Even opening a soda can can damage your nails. Use your finger, coin, or other object to open it whenever possible.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/8d/Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop- Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/8d/Stop-Your-Nails-from- Peeling-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Try not to pick or peel the nail polish. If you have nail polish, don’t peel or pick up the old polish. Even if the paint starts to peel off, don’t pull it off, as this will peel off a layer of nail polish along with the polish. Instead, use an acetone-free nail polish remover to remove the polish.
- Especially if you apply shellac or gel nails, you absolutely should not peel them off. It can take several months for your nails to recover from this type of damage.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/07/Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop- Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/07/Stop-Your-Nails-from- Peeling-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Take a supplement like biotin, iron or zinc. Biotin can help strengthen nails (and is great for hair, too), zinc can help with patchy discoloration, and iron can help thicken the thin parts of your nails. Choose a supplement to take daily and maintain for 3-4 months to see how your body reacts. [8] X Research Sources
- You can also get extra nutrition by eating iron-rich foods, such as spinach, legumes, red meat, and pumpkin seeds.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/0f/Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop- Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/0f/Stop-Your-Nails-from- Peeling-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Stop-Your-Nails-from-Peeling-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Avoid polishing your nails too much while taking care of your nails. Nail polish can strip away layers of the nail, strip away essential oils, and can even get stuck in peeling parts of the nail. If polishing your nails, you should only polish each nail 6-8 times and do not press hard.
- The buffing step can give shape to your nails and give them a glossy finish, but if your nails are peeling, you should skip this step for a few months until your nails get stronger.
Advice
- Take care of your hands and nails after they have to do heavy lifting like climbing, gardening or painting.
- If your toenail is peeling, you can also use the above methods to treat and prevent further peeling.
