I’m a stickler for cuticle care. Other than washing and moisturising my face twice daily, the only other beauty task I do regularly is protecting my cuticles. Let’s face it, it hurts like a *^%$& when I you damage them.

If your nails and cuticles are not looking their best the this article is for you! Here is a little info about cuticles, why they are important and a few tips I use everyday.

Cuticles are the thin layer of skin that surrounds the base of your nails. They protect your nails from bacteria and other harmful elements. Therefore, it is crucial to take care of your cuticles to maintain healthy and beautiful nails.

Here are some tips for cuticle care:

1. Moisturize your cuticles: Dry cuticles can lead to cracking and peeling. Therefore, it is essential to keep them moisturized. You can use cuticle oil or cream to keep them hydrated. Apply the moisturizer to your cuticles and massage gently. This will improve blood circulation and promote healthy nail growth.

2. Avoid cutting your cuticles: Cutting your cuticles can lead to infections and other nail problems. Instead, push them back gently using a cuticle pusher. This will help to keep your cuticles neat and tidy without damaging them.

3. Don’t bite your nails: Biting your nails can damage your cuticles and lead to infections. It is a bad habit that you should avoid. If you find it difficult to stop, you can try using a bitter-tasting nail polish to discourage yourself from biting your nails.

4. Protect your cuticles: When doing household chores or other activities that involve water, wear gloves to protect your cuticles. Water can dry out your cuticles and make them more susceptible to damage.

Taking care of your cuticles is an essential part of nail care. By following these simple tips, you can maintain healthy and beautiful nails. Remember to moisturize your cuticles, avoid cutting them and protect them. With proper care, your nails will look and feel great in no time.
