What? 

Cuticles. Cuticles are non- living skin that happens to develop over time around the nails and toenails like sleep crude around the eyes when you wake up. 

Why? 

Cuticles form naturally, especially when the epidermis layer (skin) is dry. Skin is a barrier that protects the muscles, membrane, veins, bones from the outer elements (air, moisture, humidity, etc.) 

Cuticles are also indicators to inform you on how the skin is properly hydrated from the inside out and outside in. Both are important factors. 

Cuticles are meant to be removed gently with proper tools with skill and not to be mistaken for living tissue. When you begin to identify skin there’s a difference. 

Cuticles can not be revived by any type of solution. Cuticles are like leaves that fall to the ground in the fall. Hair that needs to be trimmed or clipped.1) Nipping off with nippers 2) Serum solution thats cream base for gentle removal without nipping 

3) Efile with a safety bit with low speed will exfoliate in a removal process Cuticles are pretty much still attached to living skin, and just need to be removed a few ways, 

How? 

Cuticles is non living tissue that forms around the eponychium. Eponychium is the thick layer of the skin at the base of the fingernails and toenails. 

That is the prime location to ensure proper hydration and moisture for the benefit of proper nail health for growth. 

The cuticle will form in various textures based on the amount of times nail oil, hand creams, overnight masks, cuticle creams are used for seamless removal.

To oil or Not? Should we oil our cuticles, and if we do what happens to it? Does it return to its original form or what happens to it? This course will help answer those questions and to understand the importance of NOT oiling the cuticles. Cuticles are DEAD and meant to be removed properly. 

Hydration is key. 

Hydration to skin on hands and feet will determine what products are used, when its used and the consistency of the product usage. Many times we starve the skin, cause the skin to dehydrate and wonder why we are “Flaky, itchy, blotchy, and just stressed. 

Give clients an effective way to eliminate those hangnails, dry skin that produces cuticles. By introducing products, services with skill that will increase your product knowledge, service sales, and promote client loyalty.
