A well-groomed manicure often starts with the removal of the cuticles. However, if done incorrectly, this step can damage your nails. In this article, you'll learn how to safely and effectively remove cuticles without harming your nails. MONLIS Studio provides you with professional tips and services to keep your nails healthy and beautiful.
Why Remove Cuticles?
The cuticle, also known as the eponychium, protects the area between the skin and the nail from bacteria and infections. Regular care and occasional removal of excess cuticles can help your nails look neat and well-maintained. It's important to do this correctly to avoid injuries and damage.
Preparation
Before you begin removing your cuticles, follow these basic steps to prepare your nails:
1. Wash Hands: Thoroughly clean your hands with soap and water to remove dirt and bacteria.
2. Soak Nails: Soak your nails in warm water for about 5-10 minutes. This softens the cuticles, making them easier to remove.
3. Cuticle Remover: Use a cuticle remover specifically designed to gently dissolve the cuticles. Apply the product according to the instructions.
Steps for Safe Cuticle Removal
1. Cuticle Pusher: Use a cuticle pusher made of wood or stainless steel to gently push back the softened cuticles. Be careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid damaging the nail plate.
2. Remove Excess Cuticles: If you need to remove excess cuticle, use a cuticle nipper or sharp manicure scissors. Only cut away the dead skin and avoid injuring the living tissue.
3. File and Shape: File your nails into the desired shape. Use a fine nail file and always file in one direction to prevent splits and cracks.
After Cuticle Removal
1. Moisturizing Cream: Apply a rich hand and nail cream to hydrate the skin and nails. This helps keep the cuticles soft and supple.
2. Nail Oil: Use nail oil to strengthen the nails and promote growth. Gently massage the oil into the nails and surrounding skin.
3. Regular Care: Repeat this care routine regularly, but not too often. Over-frequent cuticle removal can weaken the nails and irritate the skin.
