Cuticle Oil 101

We’ve all heard about cuticle oil, but do you really know what it does and why it’s a game-changer for your nail health? 

Whether you're a nail art newbie or a seasoned pro, cuticle oil is a must-have in your nail care routine.

Let’s dive deep into the magic of cuticle oil!

What is Cuticle Oil?

Cuticle oil is a nourishing treatment designed specifically for your cuticles and nails. Made from a blend of hydrating oils, vitamins, and sometimes essential oils, cuticle oil works to moisturise, protect, and strengthen your nails and the surrounding skin.

How Does Cuticle Oil Work?

Moisturises and Hydrates

Cuticle oil penetrates deep into the nail bed and the skin around your nails, providing essential moisture. This helps to prevent dryness and cracking, keeping your cuticles soft and supple.

Promotes Healthy Nail Growth

Regular application of cuticle oil stimulates blood flow to the nail bed, which can encourage faster and healthier nail growth. Strong, nourished nails are less prone to breakage and splitting.

Protects Against Damage

By creating a barrier, cuticle oil protects your nails and cuticles from environmental damage, such as harsh weather conditions and frequent hand washing. It also helps to seal in moisture, preventing your nails from becoming brittle.

Improves Nail Appearance

Healthy cuticles make your nails look neat and well-maintained. Applying cuticle oil regularly can enhance the overall appearance of your manicure, giving your nails a natural, healthy shine.

How to Use Cuticle Oil

Using cuticle oil is super simple and can easily be incorporated into your daily routine. Here’s how:

Clean Your Nails

Start with clean, dry nails.

Apply the Oil

Use the dropper to apply a small amount of cuticle oil to each nail, focusing on the cuticle area.

Massage It In

Gently massage the oil into your cuticles and nails. This helps to stimulate blood flow and ensure the oil penetrates deeply.

Repeat Regularly

For best results, apply cuticle oil daily, especially before bedtime, to allow it to work its magic overnight.
