Cuticle care - essential oils used for moisturizing and cuticle treatment

Cuticles play a major role in protecting our nails from external influences. They present a barrier to infections that are easily spread on nails and skin that surrounds them.Taking good care of them stands as a base of proper nail care.

Dipping fingers in warm water for a few minutes greatly reduces the effort of pushing them back.

They should not be cut using scissors or a cuticle remover. They should be pushed back, always, using a wash cloth. Only the excess skin should be cut.
