How to Care for Aging Nails

Here are some simple tips to reduce the appearance of ridges and keep your nails strong and healthy:

  • Moisturize regularly with hand and nail cream, especially after washing your hands.

  • Stay hydrated, since dry nails are more prone to ridges and breakage.

  • Eat a nutrient-rich diet with vitamins A, C, B-complex, and minerals like zinc and iron.

  • Use gentle nail care tools and avoid harsh manicures or over-filing.

  • Consider biotin supplements—but always consult a healthcare provider first.

👉 Bottom line: Vertical ridges after 40 are usually a natural part of aging. Still, paying attention to accompanying changes can help you catch potential health issues early.
