Time required 15 Minutes. Salon price. DipWell price. We'll show you how to remove your entire cuticle. Did you know that nails have both visible, and invisible cuticles? It's true! And if you don't fully remove the invisible cuticle, it can cause your dip mani to lift. Stop lifting in its tracks by following these steps.
Whether you're prepping your nails for a manicure or you're practicing self care, removing the invisible cuticle is essential! Step 1. Syreeta Aaron, educator at LeChat Nails , says pushing back cuticles is the best tactic; you should never cut off any living tissue, aka eponychium , she says.
If you have cuticle nippers, a warm towel, and cuticle remover, you should be good to go. We only include products that have been independently selected by Bustle's editorial team. However, we may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. For starters, Aaron says to soften your skin by adding a small amount of cuticle remover around your cuticles, then soak them in warm water, a steamed warm towel, or a hand warmer for 3 to 5 minutes. She says whichever method you use will have the same effect, so feel free to wrap your hands in warm towels if you want a full spa experience.
Pro tip: Be extra careful when you use the cuticle remover. Instead of clipping them off, Aaron suggests patting the cuticles dry and then pushing them back with a cuticle pusher or orange stick. It is a stainless steel one so it would retain its sharpness for a very long time. Lemon contains citric acid which can be used to weaken your cuticle skin cells allowing them to be easily removed.
I recommend pushing your nails into the lemon and letting it soak for 30 seconds then apply some oil and then use a cuticle pusher to neaten up your cuticles. Now if you dont have lemon juice you can use apple cider vinegar. Which contains acetic acid that also weakens the cuticle skin making them easier to remove.
I recommend soaking your cuticles in some apple cider vinegar for 30 seconds. Then apply some oil and then you can gently push and shape your cuticles. Both lemon juice and apple cider vinegar also kill any bacteria or microbes on your cuticles which will help to prevent any infection from forming. Exfoliants are special chemicals used to remove dead skin cells.
They are found in acne treatments, face washes, and other skin treatments. So if you have an acne face wash that contains Salicylic acid you can apply some to your cuticles and let it soak in for 30 seconds then use your hands to vigorously wash it. Finally, apply some oil and use your cuticle pusher to shape up your cuticles.
Now if you have an abrasive exfoliant you can do the same except you would have to more vigorously wash. Baking soda is an affordable and natural exfoliant that can be used to soften your cuticles to make them easier to remove.
Now baking soda will also make your cuticles extra dry so I recommend using it in conjunction with honey which acts as a moisturizer. But baking soda can be used by itself. Just take 1 tablespoon of baking soda and add 1 tablespoon of honey and stir into a paste. Then apply the paste on your cuticles and let it rest for 30 seconds. Then use a cuticle remover to push and shape your cuticles.
One of the best ways to make and keep your cuticles looking strong and healthy is to keep them well-nourished and hydrated.
And one of the best ways to do so is to use a cuticle oil pen. A cuticle oil pen contains specially formulated oil to promote both nail and cuticle health and it comes in a portable and easy to use applicator.

By working and shaping your cuticles allows your nail polishes and acrylics to look more smooth and uniform. You see each one of your cuticles grows at a different pace for each one of your nails.
Some grow out more whilst some are pointed and even shaped differently.
