A messy cuticle can ruin even the prettiest manicure. Make it a rule to take care of your nails daily with oil or cream.
Feature of cuticle products
The cuticle will look neat if you take care of it daily.
The goals of cuticle care products are simple:
moisturize the nail bed;
minimize the subsequent growth of the skin around the nail.
Just in case, we recall what is called the cuticle. This is a thin skin around the nail, tightly adjacent to its base. It consists entirely of dead cells, and if they are not removed in time, they tend to grow on the nail, which greatly spoils its appearance. And on the cuticle, burrs and cracks can form. And then it is not only ugly, but also painful. In order for the cuticle to be in perfect condition, it needs regular (read, daily) care. Ideally, morning and evening. To do this, use a variety of means.
Cuticle remover.
Oil for its nutrition and hydration.
Cuticle moisturizer.
Balm for hands and nails.
Nourishing cream for hands and nails.
Special products for nails: restorative systems, varnishes.
Composition
What ingredients should be in the composition of the above funds?
Well-established moisturizers: aloe juice and extract, allantoin, glycerin, squalane.
Substances that contribute to the restoration and nutrition of the nail bed: extracts of chamomile, cornflower, pomegranate.
Shea butter, jojoba, olive – to nourish the skin.
Types of cosmetics
All cuticle care products can be divided into groups.
1. To remove
Usually cuticle removers are used to remove the cuticle. When applied to the skin, they literally dissolve dead cells. Just 3-5 minutes – and the remains of the cuticle can be easily removed with an orange stick.
2. For softening
To soften the cuticles, various oils, balms and creams for hands and nails are used.

How to choose an effective remedy
Hand creams often contain cuticle care ingredients.
Choosing a cuticle care product is a separate pleasure. Oils, creams and balms give only pleasant impressions and a feeling of comfort.
Try to use the product daily, morning and evening.
Keep hand cream always at hand: on the office desk, on the bathroom shelf, on the bedside table, in the car, in the bag. Use it as soon as you feel the tightness of the skin, as well as after contact with water. It is important.
Remember that hand cream is also an effective nail and cuticle care.
