Learn how to apply The Hand Cream to target dry cuticles, with a simple step-by-step routine that fits into your nail care regimen.

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.

Why The Hand Cream works for cuticles

Dry cuticles are often a sign that the skin around your nails is lacking moisture. The Hand Cream is formulated with 99% natural ingredients, including bio-retinol and ceramides, which help restore the skin barrier and lock in hydration. Its light, fast-absorbing texture makes it suitable for frequent use without leaving a greasy residue.

When to apply for best results

For persistent dryness, apply The Hand Cream after every hand wash and before bed. Nighttime application allows the ingredients to work while you sleep, and you can enhance the effect by wearing cotton gloves over your hands.

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.
