Keep your Cuticles Healthy

Want your cuticles to look healthy? Try to soften and soothe this protective skin- naturally. My daughter at the age of 5 loves to push her cuticle backward and break it away and cut or biting her nails using her teeth. It might be her past time but it was not good to be a hobby either. I tried to divert her attention in other things but still she can't control or maybe forget all the reminders that I have with her. That barely noticeable bit of skin that goes around our nails may not look like much, but it's actually an important little membrane that deserves respects. Once break or tear that cuticle, bacteria, fungi and water can get in that could potentially cause an infection. A friend that works in a saloon says, that keeping our cuticles pushed back is the key to keeping them healthy and pretty. This will not only keep them neat but also reduce the need for trimming and that will reduce the risk of infection. The best time to push them back is in the shower, when they are soft. It can also be done during post shower push-back with a pumice cuticle stick. It is also recommended to apply oil to your cuticles every night before bed to keep them soft and pretty. Fro this tips that I have learned, it is easy for me to apply it to my daughter so that she can have her nails and cuticles looking good and healthy.
