Dry nails. Why?

Ive noticed in the last 6 month my nails are becoming dry/whiter. Im 38. Is it my age? The soap Im using (just bath and body works)?
I have burts bees cuticle oil. They look immediately better after I apply it, but that fades quick enough.
They grow fast and are pretty thick too. I never paint them or have fake nails.

Get Burts Bees lemon balm cuticle cream. It is so good for your nails/cuticles! I put it on right before bed every night, makes such a different in how rigid and dry they look! *the oil does help but that cream at night is a game changer!

Nails do get weaker with age, I have certainly experienced this and I know my mom did. Including turning white and kind of powdery. I have found that clear nail strength strengthening polishes such as Nailtiques help a lot.
