Let me tell you something - I used to be one of those people who constantly picked at my cuticles. You know the type. Always fidgeting with rough, dry skin around my nails until they'd bleed. It wasn't pretty. And honestly? It was embarrassing when I'd catch myself doing it during important meetings.
Dry, cracked cuticles aren't just unsightly - they're actually your body's way of telling you something's wrong. Think of your cuticles like tiny bodyguards for your nails. When they're healthy, they create this amazing protective barrier that keeps all the nasty stuff (bacteria, fungi, dirt) from getting into the sensitive area where your nails actually grow. But when they dry out and crack? Well, that's like leaving your front door wide open to every germ in the neighborhood.
I've spent way too much money trying every cuticle treatment under the sun. Oils that just sat there looking greasy. Creams that promised the world but delivered... well, not much. It wasn't until my nail tech (shoutout to Maria!) introduced me to professional
