Keeping your nails strong and healthy is one of the keys to a beautiful-looking mani, and cuticle oil is a really handy product to have in your gel nail arsenal. But have you ever questioned what the real benefits of cuticle oil are, and whether it actually works?
Cuticles are the dead bit of skin that grows from the bottom of the nails over the nail bed. The bit of skin at the end of the nail is actually called the proximal fold – this is what most people think is the cuticle.
The skin is very delicate, so it's important to take care of it and do what you can to keep it healthy.
Always keeping your nails hydrated and moisturised helps to protect them from drying out or cracking. It also means that as your nail grows out, they’ll be healthier as they grow, too.
Cuticle oil is designed to do exactly that – keep your cuticles hydrated and nourished.
As the name states, this product is a mixture of oils, sometimes with added vitamins, like vitamin E, which you apply directly to your cuticles to add moisture to the cuticle skin and nails.
