Cuticles: Our Infection Protector.

Cuticles are the most abused and misunderstood part of  our nails. Cuticles protect our nail beds from infection, and should NEVER,NEVER, EVER be cut. Did I say NEVER!

When receiving a manicure , your nail tech should be glently pushing the cuticle back with a cuticle pusher and remover solution and then nipping the dead cuticle  that's left after removal of the cuticle remover solution.

A manicure /pedicure should be a relaxing and pleasurable experience. Your fingers/toes should not be bleeding. After thorough cleaning of the nail plate a good quaility cuticle oil (such as CND's Solar Oil) should be applied to the cuticle area and massaged into the cuticle just before that heavenly hand massage.

If you are not receiving a hand massage from your nail tech, find a new nail tech. LOL.

If you can't have a conversation with your nail tech and discuss your concerns, you need a new nail tech. Your hands /feet are very important  and need  proper care.
 That's no laughing matter.
