Why do nails fall off easily in winter?

In summer and autumn, the metabolism of various organs of the body is relatively fast, and nails grow faster at this time. On the contrary, it is slower in winter.

Nail is a specialized hard cutin group, which is formed by nail matrix located at the root of nail and grows in the direction of fingertip on nail bed. In fact, nails are dead cell tissues, and their appearance has been decided. Therefore, only a healthy nail matrix can have beautiful nails, and the maintenance of nails must include the maintenance of the skin around the nails in addition to protecting the nails themselves. We can see that in summer, although the weather is hot, our skin will not crack because of high air humidity. In winter, the air will become dry and the water in the body will be sucked away by the air. Therefore, no matter the skin or nails, the water will be less, and the cells around the nails will also be affected.

But the nail capacity is not easy to break, for many reasons. Affected by age, health status (such as nutritional status), season, mechanical stimulation and other factors.
