don’t you hate those hang nails that always hurt? or that over-grown cuticle look? well, here are steps you can take to avoid these things.
WHAT R CUTICLES??? π€
cuticles are not the underskin of the nail. This is the dead skin and wont affect it but is uneeded and can make the nail look more clean. The lunula looks like a half moon kinda. The eponychium is the skin that keeps bacteria from getting under your skin. The cuticle is the dead skin part of the eponychium.
CUTICLE CARE <3
i do cuticle care about once every two weeks since my cuticles grow really fast. if yours grow slow i would recommend one a month. So i first start off with my favorite cuticle remover. This is the Sally Hansen cuticle remover. This is about $5. Then I use a cuticle pusher to push them down. Then i use a scraper to scrape the rest of the dead skin *This shouldn’t hurt*. There is this kit on amazon that has everything you need its $8 https://www.amazon.com/OWill-Manicure-Clippers-ProfessionalThen if you feel comfortable, you can cut off the rest of dead skin using cuticle nippers. Once you do that you can file your nail to your desired shape.
CUTICLE OILL β¨
My favorite cuticle oil to use is the NCLA cuticle oil with the scent horchata. Its a little more expensive at a whopping $18 but i totally recommend the splurge because it is so worth it! it also comes in a lot of different scents.
And this is how you can take care of your cuticles! of course you can customize this routine however you want! put on a show, watch tv, Listen to music, or whatever you want! see you guys next time bye besties!
