How to Use The Hand Cream for Dry Cuticles

Quick answer

Use The Hand Cream as a targeted cuticle treatment by applying a small amount to each nail bed and massaging it in after washing your hands or before bed.

Step-by-step cuticle routine

1. Start with clean, dry hands: Wash your hands with a gentle cleanser and pat them dry. Avoid rubbing, which can irritate already dry skin. Check that your hands are completely dry before applying the cream—water can dilute the product and reduce its effectiveness.
2. Apply a pea-sized amount to each hand: Squeeze a small amount of The Hand Cream onto your fingertips. You need only enough to cover the back of your hands and fingers. Using too much can leave a sticky film; a pea-sized amount is usually sufficient.
3. Massage into cuticles and nail beds: Gently massage the cream into each cuticle and the skin around your nails using circular motions. Spend a few extra seconds on any particularly dry areas. Don't forget your thumbs and the sides of your fingers—these spots are often neglected.
4. Allow the cream to absorb: Wait a few minutes for the cream to fully absorb before touching anything. The formula is fast-absorbing, but giving it a moment ensures maximum benefit. If you're applying before bed, consider wearing cotton gloves to lock in moisture overnight.
5. Repeat throughout the day as needed: Reapply after every hand wash or whenever your hands feel tight or dry. Consistent use is key to maintaining soft cuticles. Keep a tube at your desk or in your bag so you can moisturize on the go.
