I try to avoid DMSO and any oil that are pretty drying because my nails are already brittle and dry. I do have turpentine and clove too, but not too sure i want to use them. Turpentine is drying. Clove is to be used with utmost care. It is pretty strong too. I think another cause could be the dish detergents. We changed, i now boil soap nuts then put borax , baking soda, vinegar and H2O2 in our dishwashing solution. It is strong for the hands. I know i should wear gloves, but i keep forgetting too and it is so cumbersome to wash with gloves. Melly
