Cuticle care and how I remove it<\/h3>\n

Judging from number of questions I receive about cuticle care<\/strong>, a lot of us has problem with this necessary menace. Let me make something really clear right at the beginning of this post – cuticles are super important<\/strong> for health of your nails, so if you only have teeny weeny issue with it, try to overlook smaller overgrowths. At the same time I have to confess that I can’t stand the sight of my cuticles when they’re dry and all over the place where my first thought is to bite them off right away, so I not judging … really.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

I won’t go behind the theory so I don’t bore you to death, but for the purpose of this post I oversimplified everything and used name cuticle for all the skin surrounding the nail. I have more issues with side skin than actually cuticle anyway. To be perfectly honest, I don’t really see the difference if I remove cuticles with acid or just push them back<\/strong>. My cuticles are almost nonexistent as is, so I’m leaning toward it being possible explanation why I never have issues when I remove most of it. But majority has pretty visible skin protecting nail plate, so I never recommend any of my friends to copy me. We usually make a deal – leave at least little bit of skin so you get vital nail protection. <\/p>\n

Side nail folds are complete disaster. My skin is so dehydrated<\/strong> that I have to work really hard if I want my hands to look presentable. I stick to one rule and one rule only – NO PAIN ALLOWED!<\/p>\n

First I apply something to soften\/remove extra skin. Currently my favorite is Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover<\/em>. This gel quickly softens the skin, so I have easy job of removing excess with bamboo stick. It I have any of those huge chunk leftovers I will use my\u00a0M\u00f6rser Solingen scissors. I cut of only the ugly part and leave the rest alone.<\/p>\n

I finish up with hydrating and nourishing cream<\/strong>. My 2 current favorites are Alessandro Veggie nail creams<\/a> and Coco Mango nail butter. If I’m good girl and use mentioned creams few times a day, my cuticle issues go away. Problem is, I’m never that consistent. <\/p>\n

I made video showing you how I remove cuticles more than 2 years ago. Products changed (Curaprox brush is still the same ) but the procedure itself is still the same … *runs and hides before you lynch me*<\/p>\n
