We like to consider cuticle oils one of the underdogs in bodycare: while hand lotions and body oils tend to get the most love and appreciation when it comes to all-over hydration, the best cuticle oils can provide a targeted treatments to enhance the strength, moisture, and high-impact shine of your nails. “The cuticles are incredibly prone to dryness, so hydration is key,” Tenoverten co-founder and head of product Jaclyn Ferber tells BAZAAR.com. “Since a typical body lotion isn’t as emollient as a cuticle oil, it won’t penetrate the skin as effectively.”
Although cuticle oils are created to nourish and soothe dry, rough nail beds—which can apply to your toes, too—Ferber advises skipping a treatment or two if you’re dealing with broken skin. “The cuticle area is super prone to infection. I wouldn’t recommend using a compounded formula like a cuticle oil as a treatment to speed up healing,” she says. “There are specific oils, like tea tree oil, that are ideal for treating a wound. I also recommend doing a warm water and epsom salt soak to help treat cuticle wounds at home. Once a wound starts healing, a cuticle oil can help nourish the skin back to health and prevent future damage.”
