Help! Trying to fix my cuticle problem
favorite_border4 Likesbookmark_border BookmarkshareSharechat_bubble_outline8 Comments
Hey everyone, I could really use some advice.
I always have cuticle issues 😠Dry and peeling. I already use hand cream and cuticle oil every single day, and I hydrate a lot (water bottle basically glued to me), but it doesn’t seem to fully fix the problem.
I’m also pretty new to doing my own nails. I used to go to salons a lot, but I’ve stopped for now because my cuticles aren’t in great shape. I still want to do some simple, easy manicures at home, though.
So I wanted to ask. like what nail shape works best for me if I wanna do some simple nails for myself, and also really need some advice on my cuticle.

Heyy 🥰
Dry/peeling cuticles are super common. Try using a thicker cream or balm at night (with cotton gloves if you can), gently push back cuticles instead of cutting them, and use gloves for cleaning/dishes. That usually helps a lot. 🙈
For easy home manicures, go for short round or squoval nails, they’re low-maintenance and less likely to break.

For beginner manis, soft square or round is the easiest. Also, don’t cut cuticles, gentle pushback only!

I feel like short round or soft square shapes are usually the easiest and gentlest on cuticles. As for the dryness, do you wash your hands with soap frequently or touch anything chemical? Try to use hand cream and cuticle oil every time after you wash you hand to see if it's getting better.
