    What is cuticle oil?

    Cuticle oil is a moisturising product (usually made up of – you guessed it – oils) that is applied with a brush, cotton ball or pen on the cuticles.

    Why should I use cuticle oil?

    According to Sally Hansen nail expert Alison Bowhill-Hayes, cuticle oil is the go-to product if your cuticles are looking a little damaged. So if your cuticles are a bit cracked, dry or broken, it’s probably time you started applying the nourishing oil to your nails. Keep an eye out for vitamin E as an ingredient – it works wonders to help repair any damaged or torn skin and will keep your cuticles soft and supple.

    When should I use cuticle oil?

    Alison recommends applying cuticle oil every night to keep your nails and cuticles nourished and protected against drying out and splitting. Using the product regularly will smooth cuticles and restore them to health. Just remember: persistence and consistency.

    How do I use cuticle oil?

    Apply a few drops to both your nail and cuticle to help soften and hydrate. Massage it into your skin for about a minute to help stimulate the blood supply.

    Which cuticle oil should I try?

    Any one of these should do the trick!

    1. Sally Hansen Vitamin E Nail and Cuticle Oil
    2. Revitanail Nourishing Oil
    3. OPI Avoplex Cuticle Oil To Go
    4. Manicare Cuticle Therapy
    5. Mavala Cuticle Oil

    I have got some cuticle oil, but I prefer to use Burt’s Bees lemon cuticle butter. I massage it into my cuticles at night last thing before I turn the light off. It makes a huge difference to the condition of my cuticles.

    Sweety7 28 Jun 2019 1:01 PM

    Simone Gee 14 May 2019 1:11 PM

    I've been wanting to try out a cuticle oil for such a long time now. Would be interesting to compare it to a lotion!

    ThisIsMe 14 Dec 2018 12:13 PM

    That is one thing I always forget to buy and use! Cuticle oil!

    Love Sally Hansen cuticle oil ! Hubby even puts it on for me ! And doesn't mind wearing it too

    erinkay94 19 Sep 2018 6:09 PM

    I don’t think I own a cuticle oil! Will have to check it out

    Popsicle 19 Sep 2018 4:09 PM

    I use the OPI cuticle oil when I remember!

    Ellyce 18 Sep 2018 9:35 PM

    I use CND solaroil, and loccitane hand cream. Best combo ever! Someone told me that Jojoba oil is the best for cuticles, will be what I try next when I finish this bottle.

    Popsicle 19 Sep 2018 4:11 PM

    I've heard rosehip oil is good as well.

    Sootyhere 18 Jul 2018 9:03 AM

    clearcrystalwater 25 Jun 2018 4:22 PM

    I should use mine more often - I find it makes such a huge difference to the strength of my nails.

    hthorpe 21 Jun 2018 10:58 AM

    I've always noticed when I get my nails done that they use oil and my cuticles feel so nice after! Never thought to actually use it myself

    clearcrystalwater 25 Jun 2018 4:25 PM

    I have only had my nails done a couple of times in my life (and I loved it!!). Once for my wedding day and another time.

    Harmony Queen 20 Jun 2018 4:07 PM

    I tried the Burt Bees Lemon oil and it smells delicious as well lol.

    Sootyhere 18 Jul 2018 9:03 AM

    Sootyhere 18 Jun 2018 8:11 PM
