This helps keep nails strong and minimizes the chances of damage or snags.
Moisturizing is especially necessary in certain circumstances, like when the air is dry and after removing nail polish.

These acids gently exfoliate dry, rough nails while adding moisture.
This can help protect your nails from breakage.
