By Pampering yourself with mani-pedis is an unbeatable experience. There’s nothing like a fresh set of nails to brighten your mood! But not everyone has the time or money to get routine manicures. The result is dry, cracked cuticles that you can’t help but peel – and that’s not a good look on anyone. And contrary to popular belief, the more you cut or peel your cuticles, the worse it is!
We turned to you – as we always do – for the best advice on keeping your cuticles healthy and moisturised and here’s what you had to say!
Almond Oil
Almond oil is one of those staples you should always have! It’s full of fatty acids, antioxidants and proteins that will smooth out your cuticles and give your nails some shine.

Vaseline
