What is a cuticle tool?
A cuticle tool is a small, usually metal instrument used to gently push back and remove cuticles. It can also be used to remove dirt and nail polish residue from under the nails. Some cuticle tools also have a blade to remove dead skin cells.
Why is a cuticle tool necessary?
-
Helps Prevent Infections: Cuticles are the soft skin that covers the base of the nails. They protect the nail from infection and help it grow. When cuticles grow too far over the nail, it can lead to infection and inflammation. Gently pushing them back with a cuticle tool will prevent them from overgrowing and causing infection.
-
Improve nail growth: Cuticles play an important role in the growth of healthy nails. By gently pushing them back with a cuticle tool, you stimulate blood circulation around the nail root, which can improve nail growth and strength.
-
Helps remove dirt: By regularly pushing back your cuticles with a cuticle tool, you can remove dirt and nail polish residue from under your nails. This ensures a cleaner and healthier nail environment.
-
Gives your nails a well-groomed appearance: Pushing back the cuticles with a cuticle tool can give your nails a neater and more well-groomed appearance. This makes your nails look healthier and more attractive.
