How to Care for Cuticles

You may not think about your cuticles much, but there are some great reasons to groom them regularly. Dry cuticles are the main cause of hangnails, and overlong cuticles can stunt nail growth. Learn to properly care for your cuticles, and you can get polished-looking, healthy hands.

Instructions

1. • 1
     Moisturize your cuticles by applying a hand cream, lotion or oil and rubbing it into the cuticle. The delicate skin on your hands needs moisturizing daily. Keep a hand moisturizer with you to use several times daily.
   • 2
     Purchase a good cuticle remover (to soften, but not actually remove the cuticles). Apply the cuticle remover and allow the cuticles to soften. Using a cuticle stick (also called an orange stick), gently push back the cuticles, being careful not to damage them.
   • 
     
   • 3
     Remove dead or flaking cuticle skin by moving the orange stick in tiny circles around the base of the nail. Remove the whitish residue from the nail as well. Repeat this process on each nail several times.
   • 4
     Use a sharp cuticle clipper to trim any remaining hangnails. Make sure that this tool cuts cleanly.
   • 5
     Wipe the nail clean with a cotton ball and moisturize again.

How to Wax Arms and Underarms

Instructions: 

      Wax Your Arms

    1
Use a spatula to spread the heated wax in the direction of the hair growth. Hair on your arms can grow diagonally or straight up and down. 

   

    2
Cover the wax with a piece of hair removal cloth and pat it down, in the direction of the hair growth.

   

    3
Pull the cloth up, firmly and quickly, in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Make sure you pull the cloth diagonally if the hair growth is diagonal. If you pull straight up and down all the time, you'll miss hairs and have to wax again.

   

    4
Reuse the hair removal cloth a few times until it no longer picks up hair. Once the cloth stops picking up hair, reapply a layer of wax to the arms and use a new cloth.

  

    Wax Your Underarms

    5
Lie down with your arm raised above your head. If this isn't possible, find a position where you can keep your arm raised without bending it.

6
Spread a layer of wax to your underarm. Pull the hair removal cloth up and down when waxing your underarms. Start by spreading the wax on in the direction that's easiest for you.

 7
Rub the hair removal cloth onto the wax, in the direction you applied the wax. Firmly and quickly pull the cloth in the opposite direction. Reapply the cloth and pull the cloth in the opposite direction than before, to remove stray underarm hair.
