Q: How do you use a cuticle stick?
A: Hold it at roughly a forty-five degree angle and gently push the cuticle back, using either the flat or the abrasive side. Work on softened skin after a bath or shower.
Q: How often should you push back your cuticles?
A: Once a week is enough to keep excess growth in check. More often than that irritates the nail fold.
Q: Is it safe to push back your cuticles?
A: Yes, gently and on softened skin. The cuticle seals the nail bed, so the aim is to ease it back rather than remove it.
