5 Reasons Cuticle Oil Is a Must for Your Nailcare Routine
It is a meme, the nail professional struggling to convince their client to be faithful cuticle oil users because they know the role it plays in keeping nails, cuticles, and surrounding skin healthy and hydrated. And the struggle is real, because clients forget this good advice the minute, they walk out the salon doors.
We asked Dr. Brooke Jeffy, a board-certified dermatologist in Scottsdale, Arizona, and the founder of teen/tween skin-care line BTWN, to give us the medical message about why cuticle oil matters and we followed up with a bit of extra information. Hope this helps!
The act of massaging cuticle oil into the nail and cuticles increases circulation which may stimulate nail growth
The gentle massaging action stimulates blood flow to the nail bed and surrounding tissues. This improved circulation delivers essential nutrients and oxygen to the nail matrix, as a result, the nails receive better nourishment, which can promote healthier and potentially faster nail growth.
Cuticle oil can help extend the length of your manicure by protecting your polish
One of the main causes of nail polish chipping is dry, brittle nails. Applying cuticle oil keeps the nails and surrounding skin hydrated, which helps support flexibility and resilience. This reduces the likelihood of nails becoming brittle and breaking, which can lead to chipped polish.
Healthy moisturized cuticles protect the nail from infections
Cuticles function as a seal around the base of the nail, preventing bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens from entering and infecting the nail bed. When the cuticles are dry or damaged, this barrier becomes compromised, making it easier for pathogens to infiltrate and cause infections.
Strong moisturized nails are more resistant to trauma
Moisture helps to nourish and hydrate the nails, promoting overall nail health and resilience. Healthy, well-moisturized nails recover better from minor traumas, such as bumps or knocks, without sustaining considerable damage. They are more likely to bounce back to their original state quickly.
Cuticle oil keeps the nails, cuticles, and surrounding skin looking their best
Overall, the moisturizing, nourishing, and softening effects of cuticle oil contribute to a more attractive appearance for the nails, cuticles, and surrounding skin. With regular use, cuticle oil can help keep a well-groomed and polished look.
