Well-kept nails are mostly a matter of gentle habits: filing in one direction, leaving cuticles intact, moisturizing often and protecting hands from water and cleaning products.

The nail health guides explain common changes such as ridges, peeling and discoloration, and make clear when a nail should be checked by a doctor.
