Your cuticles are the keepers of your nail health. Take care of your cuticles and they’ll reward you with strong, healthy nails. Oriwa Naturals can help in the care of your nails. The following diagram shows you where they are on your nail in case you didn’t know!  Cuticles provide a natural barrier to fungus and bacteria. They’re like little goalies, stopping the bad stuff from entering the nail bed and causing infection. If you break this natural barrier, they can become inflamed and ragged. At the very least this'll detract from the perfection of your manicure. At worst, you could end up with the kind of infection that permanently damages your nails. So, whatever you do, don’t cut them! Cuticles are formed as the nail grows - it rips the underside of your eponychium (the skin at the base of your nails) and takes it with it. It grips hard to both the nail plate and the eponychium. This is what creates such a great seal. If that grip is too strong it starts to pull the skin tight and stretch it out. It can also get a bit unruly at the base of the nail. So we remove them. Just NOT by cutting them. A step-by-step on cuticle care Step 1: Remove nail polish Use a nail polish remover to remove any traces of remaining nail polish that are on your nails. Avoid using a remover that contains acetone. File and shape your nails to your desire before the next step. Step 2: Apply cuticle moisturiser Cuticle Moisturise and help massage away any dry cuticles or dead skin cells. It gives the nails an even, radiant and smooth finish and also helps to improve the skin’s suppleness. It also strengthens nails and keeps them healthy. Any of our Oriwa Naturals Moisturising Balms work well for this step. Step 3: Push cuticles back Soak your fingers in some soapy lukewarm water. This helps with the softening of the cuticles and also cleanses any impurities that may be underneath them. Gently pat dry your nails and start to carefully push them back with a cuticle stick. Once you’re satisfied with them, you can use a nail buffer to smooth down any long or overgrown cuticles. Step 4: Moisturise Again Rub in Oriwa Naturals Moisturising or Massage Balms into your cuticles. This helps keep them healthy, and keeps your nails healthy and strong. Our Moisturising and massage balms come in 50ml tins, which are great kept in your handbag or car glove box or on the table next to where you watch TV or read your book. When you find yourself at an appointment, waiting in the car, or reading or watching the news, grab the tin and massage the balm into your cuticles and fingernails. When you do this on a regular basis you will be amazed how strong and healthy your nails become.
