I have been bitting my nails for as long as i remember. I have tried several times to stop bitting them but i just cant stop. Lately i have noticed one of my pinky nails had a white tip so i stoped bitting it,but now i only have one fingernail that is actually almost passes my skin. Can u give me advice of how i could stop bitting ALL of my nails.
lots of love, any advice can help

I used to bite my nails and cuticles, bad.
This is what I did, try keeping your nails painted as much as you can, for some reason the tempt is not as bad when they're painted, even if just with clear polish. Cuticle oil also works.
Hand creams might help, just because they taste awful when it gets in your mouth.. another thing is carrying a nail file with you, that way you wont bite any hang or broken nails, which wont tempt you.

The best way i can think of is try distracting yourself by doing something you enjoy and ignore your fingernails. Sorry if this doesnt help! [ Janie93's advice column | Ask Janie93 A Question ]
