Your nails and the skin on your face are not as different as they seem.
Underneath, both rely on the same support structure: collagen.
It's what helps keep skin firm and nails strong.
Around your forties, your body starts producing a little less collagen each year.
But nails don't wait for the face.
They show it first. And there's a simple reason why.
Because nails have nowhere to hide.
Your face has makeup. Soft lighting. Skin tone and texture that can disguise small changes for a while.
Nails have none of that. They're out in the open.
So when collagen starts to decline, your nails become the first honest mirror you have. That's what those changes mean. It's not really a nail problem.
It's an early glimpse of something that's happening in your face and neck as well.
Your face is on the same path. It's just better at hiding it. ...For now.
