What is cuticle oil and why do you need it?
Cuticle oil is a superfood for your nails. This nourishing oil hydrates, protects, and strengthens your cuticles and nail plate. The formula often contains essential oils and vitamins such as vitamin E, jojoba oil, almond oil, and sometimes even natural botanical extracts. These ingredients work together to keep the skin and nails hydrated, supple, and healthy.
5 Reasons why cuticle oil is a must-have
Cuticle oil may seem like a small detail in your nail care routine, but its impact is significant. Healthy cuticles form the foundation for strong, flexible, and beautiful-looking nails.
Fewer manicures needed
Regular use of cuticle oil helps clients enjoy their manicure for longer. Additionally, it gives you, as a nail technician, the opportunity to finish their nails even more beautifully and meticulously.
Long-lasting product adhesion
Cuticle oil promotes healthier nails, allowing gel polish, nail polish, or other gel systems to adhere better and last longer. It helps prevent the product from lifting or coming off prematurely.
Prevents aging of the nail plate
Regular use of cuticle oil helps prevent nail aging, reduces ridges, and gives the nail plate a beautiful shine.
Cuticle care
As the name suggests, cuticle oil cares for and nourishes the cuticles. This not only makes the cuticles look better, but also keeps them supple, healthy, and free from redness or dryness.
Hydration of the natural nail
Just like hair needs extra hydration, the keratin in the nail plate does too. Older parts of the nail can quickly become dry and may start to chip or split without sufficient moisture.
How to use cuticle oil like a pro?
💡 Pro tip: Advise your clients to include cuticle oil as a regular part of their routine – their nails (and you as a nail technician) will thank you!
Apply 1 to 2 times daily
Advise your clients to apply a small amount of cuticle oil to their cuticles daily and gently massage it in. This maximizes the benefits and helps keep nails beautiful and well-groomed for longer.
After every manicure
Always apply cuticle oil after a treatment to hydrate and protect against dryness caused by nail products.
Night care
For extra nourishment, cuticle oil can be applied at night. This gives the cuticles enough time to repair and restore themselves.
