Steps to take care of your nail cuticles

The cuticle is the inert layer of skin that sits just at the root of the nail. It acts as a natural protective shield against dirt, bacteria, fungi and possible infections. Thus, taking care of the cuticles is essential for maintaining strong and healthy nails.

The steps for taking care of your nail cuticles

Don’t eliminate them: Given their necessary barrier function, you are absolutely prohibited from eliminating them. If you do this, the matrix can be damaged and the nail will become deformed, in addition to causing the appearance of inflammations, depressions and dots or white lines.

Trim them carefully: To obtain clear and long nails that better showcase the enamel, simply trim the cuticles as little as possible. Apply an emollient gel for cuticles to soften them and leave on. Then gently push the dead skin towards the base of the nail with a cuticle pusher. Finally, use special craving pliers to cut them gently and without overdoing it.

Moisturize them daily: Once you’ve gotten rid of the most damaged parts, the only thing you will need for cuticle care is excellent hydration. Using products specifically formulated to nourish, soften and strengthen them and, in turn, promote healthy nail growth.
