Cuticles are totally the most neglected part of nails. No one ever pays the care and attention that they need. It doesn't matter if you paint your nails with the perfect color for you, if your cuticles are a horrendous mess, then your nails are just not going to look good at all.
If you're gonna care for your cuticles the right way, then you're going to need a cuticle remover. My personal favorite is Pro FX cuticle remover. It is basically a gel that is applied to the cuticles and then you soak them for about two minutes. After you have soaked your nails in it, you use a dry rag to gently remove the gel. Use a soft towel in order to push your cuticles back. This is a great product and it can easily be found in stores like Wal-Mart
Sally Hansen also offers a cuticle remover that is a lot more intense and strong that the pro FX remover. It also acts as a callus remover. If you opt for this product, I would definitely suggest only using it every month. It's really strong and you don't want to do more damage than good.
Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle cream is a really cool product for making your nails nice and soft. I basically use this product on my nails every night before I go to sleep. It leaves my fingers feeling so amazing and fresh. It's great for keeping your nails healthy and strong.
When tending to your cuticles, it may be tempting to trim them off, but this is not good. This can often lead to infection, and having cuticles is important for protecting your nail bed. Gently push your cuticles back rather than trimming them. The cuticle remover gels will make this process really easy and painless.
