Cracking cuticles around the nails is a frustrating problem that many of us face. Although it seems like a minor issue, it can cause discomfort and even pain. At Easy Nails, we fully understand how important it is to take care of nail and cuticle health. That’s why we decided to share our knowledge and experience in this field. We have prepared some proven methods for dealing with cracking and dry cuticles.
Causes of Cracking Cuticles
Before we proceed to treatment, it’s worth understanding the source of the problem. Cracking cuticles can be caused by various factors, such as:
– Dry skin – Lack of moisture leads to dryness and cracking of the cuticles.
– Mechanical injury – Frequent biting or tearing of the cuticles can lead to their cracking.
– Allergies or intolerances – Some cosmetic ingredients can cause allergic reactions and skin irritations.
– Systemic diseases – Conditions such as diabetes, hormonal disorders, or vitamin deficiencies can affect skin condition.
Home Remedies
Before reaching for professional products, it’s worth trying a few home methods. Here are our suggestions:
1. Cuticle oil – Regularly moisturize cuticles with baby oil or coconut oil. This will help maintain their elasticity and healthy appearance.
2. Paraffin hand baths – Dip your hands in heated paraffin, then wrap them in plastic wrap for 15-20 minutes. This will intensely moisturize the skin and cuticles. You can add a few drops of essential oil, such as lavender or almond, to the paraffin for a better effect.
3. Honey masks – Honey has moisturizing and soothing properties. Apply it to the cuticles and leave for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. Your skin will be soft and nourished.
Professional Products
If home methods do not bring the expected results, it’s worth reaching for specialized products. At Easy Nails, we recommend:
1. Urea creams – Urea effectively moisturizes and softens hardened skin. Our creams contain the optimal concentration of this ingredient to safely and effectively regenerate cuticles.
2. Cuticle oil – The cuticle oil available for purchase in our salon consists of a complex of vitamins, plant oils, and extracts that nourish and strengthen cuticles. Regular use will help prevent their cracking.
3. Masks and paraffin treatments – Our professional treatments also provide deep hydration. Paraffin for hands is one of the best ways for intensive skin regeneration. It involves dipping hands in warm paraffin, which has moisturizing and nourishing properties. After applying paraffin, special gloves are put on the hands to retain heat, allowing the paraffin to better penetrate the skin.
We often use cream masks containing active ingredients that intensely nourish the skin and cuticles. You can use them at home or schedule a treatment at our salon.
