Some people associate manicure with the application of nail polish and painting pictures or designs on the nails. However, a good manicure also includes filing and shaping the nails and taking care of the cuticle. To make your cuticle look neat, you need to clip or push it, as well as use special creams or oils to prevent dehydration and hangnails. There are a lot of cuticle care products that can help you with this.
The cuticle is a semi-circular layer of dead skin cells covering the back of the visible nail plate. It protects the nail from infection. The cuticle is usually removed during a manicure. The easiest way to remove the cuticle is to clip it with a special tool, but this is generally not recommended because there is a risk of cutting the eponychium (a band of living cells) and getting an infection. Besides, when you cut the cuticle, it may grow back quicker and become rougher.
The best way to get rid of the cuticle is to apply a cuticle remover and then gently push it with a special wooden stick. You also need to moisturise the cuticle and the skin around your nails to prevent hangnails. Here are several cuticle care products that will help you to take good care of your cuticle.
