If you cut the cuticle incorrectly, problems with nail growth may begin. About this “Moscow 24” said dermatologist, trichologist, beautician Tatyana Egorova.
According to him, it is better to trust this procedure to professionals who will treat it with special oils and compounds to pre-soften the cuticle. At the same time it is better to visit only proven salons.
“If you cut it yourself and do it carelessly, you can damage the matrix (growth zone), then the nail will grow unevenly. If you use untreated scissors or tools after someone else’s, you can contract various infections such as HIV, hepatitis, etc. through contact with blood. Streptococci and staphylococci can also enter through wounds,” Egorova explained.
If cutting the cuticles will be done at home, you need to purchase personal manicure tools that no one else will use.
“There are special sticks to push the cuticle back, there are oils to soften it. So, it is best to use sticks and oil at home,” the doctor concluded.
Dermatovenerologist, formerly from the private medical clinic “Invitro” Svetlana Vorozhbit said “socialbites.ca” says that sterility of tools and gentle treatment of the cuticle area is the key to a safe manicure. According to him, when choosing a salon, you should pay attention to what tools the professionals use and how they sterilize them.
