Nail care through every change

Your nails are changing too.

If your nails have become drier, more brittle, prone to peeling or more noticeably ridged during perimenopause or menopause, they may need a gentler and more consistent kind of care.

What may be happening

Menopause can affect you right down to your fingertips.

Your nails are made primarily from layers of keratin. During menopause, declining oestrogen may contribute to increased dryness, while natural ageing can also affect nail growth, thickness and strength.

Menopause may play a role, but natural ageing, gel and acrylic treatments, repeated exposure to water, nutrition and underlying health concerns can also affect your nails.

Less moisture

Nails may feel drier and less flexible, making them more prone to breakage.

More fragility

Peeling, splitting and rough edges may become more noticeable.

Slower growth

Nails can take longer to grow and recover from everyday damage.

 

More than 65%

of women in one study of 463 postmenopausal women reported noticing a decline in nail quality during this stage of life.
