For the best results, Gale recommends soaking your nails twice a week. She remarks that the nail soak not only makes your nails grow in faster and stronger, but it also makes your skin silky smooth.
Meghan Carlson of Julep says that in addition to nail soaks, you can strengthen your nails by wearing gloves when washing dishes, drinking lots of water, and avoiding alcohol-based hand sanitizers. You can also try a nail strengthening soak made from 1 tablespoon honey, 1/4 cup milk, and 2 beaten egg yolks, as recommended by Natural Nail Care Recipes.
