Description: Using a cuticle pusher is actually quite beneficial for your nails from both an aesthetic and health perspective. Here are the benefits of pushing back your cuticles.It makes the nails look longer and more elegant by reducing that overhanging skin.Pushing back the cuticles correctly prevents hangnails since there’s no excess skin that’s prone to ripping or getting dry.It prepares the nails for manicures by giving more space for nail polish.Pushing back the cuticles guarantees that gel manicures and nail extensions will last longer since it removes any excess skin from the nail plate that can compromise adhesion.If you’re a nail biter, pushing back the cuticles will help you resist the urge to bite or pick at your cuticles, keeping your hands overall neater and healthier.Unlike removing the cuticle, pushing the cuticle back has fewer risks when it comes to cutting yourself or breaking the skin. How to Push Back Cuticles with a Cuticle PusherOnce you get the hang of it, using a cuticle pusher is quite easy! Here are our tips for a successful and hygienic process.Wash Your HandsTo start, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. This will remove any germs or bacteria that can cause issues should you cut yourself in the process.Soften the CuticlesNext, if you wish, you can soften your cuticles with a 2-5 minute warm water soak (just remember that this might damage polish adhesion later on), or you can apply a liquid cuticle polish remover to dissolve some of the cuticle. Both of these practices are totally optional, but they’re very helpful if your cuticles are naturally a little tough!Clip off the HangnailsNext, if you have any hangnails (little strips of torn skin or cuticle from biting or dryness), clip them off gently with a cuticle trimmer, being careful not to nick the actual skin.Push Back the CuticlesNow you’re ready to actually push back the cuticle! With your cuticle pusher, carefully and gently push the cuticle down into the eponychium to reveal as much of the nail as you can. If you feel any pain or if you feel like you’re scraping against the nail, that’s a sign that you’re pushing too hard and you need to ease up. Keep your pressure light and gentle. Get Rid of the ResidueFinally, you may notice a little bit of white residue left at the base of the nail. This is the connective material that attaches the cuticle to the nail plate. Gently scrape it away with the cuticle pusher, or else it’ll prevent any polish you apply from adhering.Do Your ManicureWhen you’re done pushing back the cuticle, you can finish off your manicure as normal. If you’re not doing a full manicure, just apply a light, nourishing layer of hand cream or cuticle oil.Tips for Healthier Nails and CuticlesPushing your cuticles back isn’t the only thing you can do to keep your nails and cuticles thriving. We have a few more tips to help you with that!Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Hand creams and cuticle oils help to keep your cuticles soft and supple, so they look nicer, and they’re also easier to push back. Moisturizing will also help strengthen your nails by keeping them more flexible and less prone to breakage. Make sure to moisturize your nails (and your hands while you’re at it) at least every night.When using a cuticle pusher, never go too deep or apply too much pressure to avoid scraping the nails or cutting the skin. The rest of the time, wear gloves when doing dishes or working in the garden to keep your nails and hands protected from water and harsh chemicals. Make sure to file your nails regularly to keep their tips smooth. This will prevent breakage, help you resist the urge to bite or pick, and it will keep your nails looking nice. When you file, use a softer grain, and always go in one direction to avoid putting pressure on the nail plate.
