Cuticle Care Tips
Cuticles contribute greatly to nail health as well as to their tidy
appearance. Keeping your cuticles healthy means healthy, strong nails.
How to Take Care of Your Cuticles
Actually, cuticles act like a barrier protecting us from pathogens that can enter and lead to infections. That is why nipping them is an absolute no-no if you want to maintain healthy nails. Well, put aside your nippers (or better throw away) and learn our tips on how to take proper care of your cuticles.
Moisturize
Your cuticles require good hydration. The matter is that cuticles are
exposed to harsh chemicals much more than your hand skin or nails
because of their extreme sensitiveness that can’t but lead them to be
dried. That is why make it a habit to moisturize your cuticles using any
high-quality hand moisturizer. Rub it into your cuticles at least twice
a day.
Never Nip
As we’ve already mentioned above, cutting your cuticles can lead to
infection. Thus never nip your cuticles, instead push them back using
orange or rosewood stick. But keep in mind that it is NOT advisable to
push back dry cuticles, as it can lead to damage. It is better to soak
your fingers in lukewarm water for several minutes, apply a bit of
cuticle remover and only after do the push-back.
Use Cuticle Oils/Creams
Apply cuticle oil or cream several times a day to make them softer.
Besides it is recommended to massage cuticle exfoliator into the entire
nail on a daily basis.
