Fashion is On

In order to boast healthy nails and cuticles just follow these simple rules and methods:

• After taking a shower or a bath massage your cuticles gently with warm olive oil. Use your finger tips for massaging the cuticles. Alternatively, you can also use a mixture of two teaspoons of Eucalyptus oil and 1 teaspoon of Jojoba oil and massage the cuticles with your finger tips. This will protect your cuticles from getting dehydrated.
• Always use an orangewood stick and a good cuticle remover for softening the cuticles properly. Remember, a cuticle oil or cream is not enough for softening the cuticles and only a cuticle remover is appropriate for this.
• Once you have applied the cuticle remover, push back the cuticles gently with the orangewood stick by moving it in small circles around the base of the nail. This will help you in removing the dead skin around the nails. It is advisable to repeat this process for a minimum of three times for each nail.
• Wipe the dead skin away with a cotton ball and moisturize the cuticles.
• Avoid over grooming your cuticles. Too much of manicure may damage your cuticles leading them to get thick and overgrown.
• Do not use metal instruments while tending to your cuticles as they might be harmful for their delicate skin.
