Remedy

Remedy

Add 2-3 tbsp of olive oil in a bowl. Soak your nails in this for 10-15 minutes. Do this every day to make your nails strong and stop brittle nails.

Lack of moisturisation on the skin leads generally leads to dry skin. If not taken care of properly, this can lead to other skin-related issues like redness and itchiness on the skin.

Remedy
