This condition happens when natural oils or their moisture content has been exhausted from the nails or the hands. Here are some other reasons why this happens and ways to get rid of it:

  • One is the extreme weather condition that can affect the nails. Very cold or dry weather causes the nail plate to dehydrate that results in the layers splitting and flaking off.
  • To rehydrate the nail plate, apply some moisturizer right after washing one's hands. And to protect the nails from severe dryness and coolness make it a habit to wear gloves.
