Master YOUR Cuticle Care

what are cuticles?

Thin layers of skin that form a protective barrier between your nails and skin. Their primary purpose is to shield nails from infections and bacteria while promoting healthy nail growth.

4 Keys to Cuticle Success

Knowing how to care for cuticles isn't hard. We've narrowed down the easy essentials!

No. 1

hydration

Just as your skin needs hydration, so do your cuticles. Keeping cuticles well-moisturized prevents them from becoming dry, cracked, and prone to tearing.

pro Tip

Consistency is key. Weekly or bi-weekly maintenance ensures your cuticles never get so overgrown that they're difficult to maintain.

No. 2

say no to cutting

Cutting cuticles with clippers can lead to infections, pain, and even misshapen nails.

Instead, push your cuticles back gently after softening them with cuticle oil.

If you have a TAYLOR MADE glass nail file, the rounded handle end makes a convenient and gentle push back tool!

NO. 3

gentle removal

If you find yourself dealing with stubborn, excess cuticle buildup, a gentle cuticle remover is a safer alternative to nipping or cutting.

pro tip

After using a cuticle remover (TAYLOR MADE has a great one), we recommend using the our organic hand scrub to exfoliate and slough off the dead cuticle skin for extra smooth and nourished cuticles.

no. 4

regular Moisturizing

Apply cuticle oil at least once a day. Consistency is key to maintaining healthy cuticles and preventing them from becoming dry and cracked.

pro tip

We also recommend "oiling" treatments. These are intense moisturizing sessions for your nails and cuticles, where gloves are worn after applying a heavy application of oil. Wearing the gloves helps lock in the oil! Read more about it here.
