Dry , brittle cuticles - any Os hints

larmy16

Hi

wondering if anyone can suggest anything for the above. My cuticles grow really thick (I am bad cos I don't wear rubber gloves for cleaning) and they are so sore, ragged and dry.

Anyone got any hints to help with the problem. I know I should wear gloves but forget all the time. Because they are so sore and ragged I tend to pick at them and make them worse.

Help!

Try rubbing almond oil or olive oil into the cuticles and then wearing a pair of cotton gloves overnight.

i second the olive oil, Thats waht i do and it makes my hands so, my cuticles conditioned and my nails nice and strong. Just a little bit on a cotton wool pad and rub it over your hands and nails, then massage in for as long as you can. i normally only last about a min before i get bored.

I'm also in agreement with the olive oil, there are also parafin wax dips you can buy which are gorgeous, but olive oil is much cheaper

I use vaseline then gloves (or socks!!!) - works a treat and a bit cheaper than olive oil.
