Is it bad to remove nail cuticles?

It depends. Removing the cuticle excesses that protrude over the nail, outside the finger, is not harmful. However, it is necessary to have limits, because the real danger is in removing them in excess.

It is explained: the cuticle acts as a protection. She is a layer that protects the entrance to the nails and your fingers. These places are easily infected, as they tend to carry many microorganisms.

The cuticle, then, is responsible for protecting the region. She is the one who prevents microorganisms from staying there. In this way, removing cuticles is only harmful if done in excess. And this excess is usually illustrated by bleeding, for example.

On the other hand, the removal of excesses is not harmful. After all, she projects out of the finger, over the nail. Thus, it is nothing more than a piece of dead skin that no longer performs functions. However, this only applies to excesses!

When to remove the cuticle?

Removing cuticles is a painstaking process that requires care. And these don't just refer to materials and quantity. They also influence the intervals between one withdrawal and another.

Experts in the area of manicure indicate that the removal of excesses only starts from 14 years of age. Thereafter, it should occur whenever the skin overlying the nails is bothering you.

This can vary from person to person. After all, each one has a rhythm of nail and cuticle growth. Likewise, what may bother some people may not even call attention to others.

However, there is a minimum interval between one removal and another. It is 07 days, ideally at least 15 days. In addition, experts indicate that the intervals are as large as possible. Therefore, the longer you can postpone removing the cuticle, the better!

We brought you some special tips for you to ensure always beautiful and cut-free cuticles. Check out what they are below!

Use a cuticle softener

First, always use a cuticle softener instead of a pot of water and moisturizer. This is the correct way according to the National Health Surveillance Agency, Anvisa. Therefore, this is the method that gives regularity to the manicure professional.

Plus, it hydrates your nails while softening your cuticles. With it, just pass the spatula and then remove the dead skin part that has lifted. That is, it accelerates and improves your cuticle removal process.

avoid removers

Our second tip is to avoid using removers. They differ from softeners in that they don't just soften dead skin. They completely release it from the nail, as if melting it.

However, there are numerous reports of accidents. Among them, hand allergies, burning and redness and swelling of the area. This is due to the fact that this cuticle remover has very strong materials. They, in turn, harm human skin.

Moisturize your cuticles

Another tip is to always moisturize your cuticles. This helps in beautifying the hands and nails. It also facilitates the subsequent removal of these skins. Therefore, always pass hydrating vegetable oils or creams in the region and massage well.

Remove only what you lift with the spatula

Also, it is essential that there are no “steaks” when removing the cuticle, isn't it? For this, in addition to using a softener, stick to the part that comes off the nail. That is, first pass the spatula in the region at the root of the nail. Then, remove only what is loose, upwards.

With that you don't pull little skins that aren't dead. Also, avoid “digging” into your nail and removing undue parts.

Sanitize the pliers even when for home use

Finally, the pliers should always be up to date with hygiene. Professionally, this requires the use of an oven or other sterilizing device. At home, though, just tie it up for personal use. Also, wash with running water and neutral soap and dry with a paper towel.
