How Can I Get Healthy Nails Quick?

Q: I bite my nails. How can I get healthier, longer nails quick?

A: Stop biting. And that includes picking and peeling and any other nervous habits that completely destroy your nails. Once you've kicked the habit, a combination of vitamin supplements and nail treatments can produce serious results - and fast. Sally Hansen Nail Nutrition is a brush-on formula full of antioxidants and proteins that keep nails strong. Biotin, a B-complex vitamin, is the only supplement known to improve nail and hair growth if taken regularly (find it at health food stores, plus Sally Hansen has a version at drugstores). Also, be sure to slather on some cream after washing your hands. The additional moisture makes a big difference when it comes to keeping your cuticles healthy.
