The main role of cuticle cream or oil is to deeply moisturise the cuticle. The cuticle plays an important role in protecting the nail from infection. If this becomes cracked or damaged, the likelihood of infection is increased as bacteria and fungi can enter through the opening. Cuticle creams and oils prevent dryness, and ultimately prevent infection.
It is possible to get a high quality cuticle balm for under €5. MummyPages recommends Avon NAIL EXPERTS Cuticle Balm which promises to leave the nail moisturised and less ragged. It contains a blend of almond oil and shea butter and feels lovely on your nails!
