4. What is a cuticle oil?
A moisturizing product made up of oils, nourishing ingredients, extracts and/or vitamins that is used to hydrate the cuticle (where your skin meets your nail) and nail area.
5. Why should I use cuticle oil?
You use your hands for pretty much everything! And they (and your cuticles) get dry from hand washing, dish washing, harsh weather, and cleaning chemicals, to name a few things. This dryness can cause your cuticles to get crusty, making them brittle, or causing unwanted side effects like hang nails, chips in your nail polish, or broken nails.
You may also be suffering from nail damage from nail enhancements such as acrylic, gel, dip, or nail glue from press ons, which can happen during prep or removal. Nail damage can include breaking, peeling, flaking, bendiness, and other unwanted nail issues.
Cuticle oil may be able to help with some of these issues.
6. What are the benefits of cuticle oil?
It moisturizes and hydrates the nail bed, making it flexible. This flexibility may help reduce breakage if you're trying to grow out your nails, especially if they break a lot from thinning, overfiling, peeling or brittleness.
It won't make your nails grow any faster, but it will help prevent them from breaking, which in turn, will be the main way that will help them grow out. It may also soften the skin and reduce hang nails, which can cause pain if you like to pick at them (guilty!).
7. How often should I use it?
We recommend 2-3 times a day for optimal results, or every time you wash your hands to replenish moisture.
