How To Care For Cuticles

Regular manicures and pedicures will keep the cuticles in tip-top shape. At home maintenance can include moisturizing, filing, and pushing cuticles back with an orangewood stick. It is not advised to “cut” the cuticles at home. If done improperly, the skin may be cut open and can cause an infection. Massage cuticle cream, oil or moisturizer to the cuticles before bed so the cuticles soften overnight.
