I have been hearing from several sources lately that cuticles should never be cut. It can cause redness and infection. It can also make your cuticles harder. I am posting about this because that is why my nails look "tore up."
What can help your nails is using an orange stick to push the cuticles back. Then, use cuticle oil and gently rub into your cuticles. Make sure you are moisturizing your hands as well.
Trim all the hangnails you want, but not those cuticles!
(Can you imagine calling the doctor and saying, "Doc, you've got to see me stat! I am having a cuticle 911.")
I don't know why that struck me as funny. First World Problems, I guess.
I need to start using a stick. I usually use my fingernail, which I know isn't good.
ReplyDeleteI am sending you an orange stick. That is the type to use.
