Cuticle Cream

LuvmyLab — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 20:17:37 GMT

Anyone have recommendations for a good cuticle cream? Not one that removes cuticles, but one that moisturizes, makes them look healthy, not ragged. I've been using Beekman's cuticle cream but it's doing nothing. Thanks.

Jojoba oil. It works for me, fabulously.

I second the jojoba oil. There is also jojoba butter which I find easier to apply without dripping or spilling. I buy a tiny 2-oz jar of the butter and it lasts forever.

I am looking forward to recommendations too.

I have read great reviews of Say Yes to Coconuts hand and cuticle cream but I cannot find it anywhere.

I am having a lot of dryhand issues lately.

Any brand of jojoba oil or is there a specific brand you recommend?

For moisturizing, I use O'Keefe's Working Hands.

I finally found something that seems to be working on the skin around my fingernails. I have two fingers where the skin along the sides gets hard and overgrown. I don't really consider it cuticle, and I don't push my cuticles down or anything. I just wanted to deal with the hardened skin and the hangnails that also tended to show up there.

I finally found CND Cuticle Eraser. It's a gentle exfoliator that has glycolic acid in it. I like it so much I would like to up the glycolic acid. I had hoped to check out the Nassif detox pads a lot of folks here rave about for face & body but my Costco doesn't carry them. I can get them from Costco online, but just wondering if there's something similar that actually has the percentage of glycolic acid listed.

@LuvmyLab

I think they are all pretty much the same. I prefer to use an organic one, Sky Organics. I buy a 4-oz bottle for about $13.

Burts Bees works very well also. Cuticle cream comes in a little tin like can, lasts a long time too.

This! Available in any drugstore, Wal-Mart, Amazon, etc. I use it before night over my nail bed and cuticle. It's not oily or overly greasy so no worries about it staining bedding or clothing. A little tub lasts a long time! ETA: As a bonus, I have very few hangnails since using this!

I've tried all sorts of oils and creams but always go back to my old standby, Avon Moisture Therapy Intensive Healing & Repair Hand Cream. I buy a half dozen at a time on sale so it's cheap. Just takes the most tiny dab.

Another good product to use, and you can buy it right here, is Surgeon's Skin Secret Twist-Up Moisturizer stick. You'll have it forever. I still have the original one I bought eons ago.

Remember having nails put on and how wonderful your cuticles were?

Same theory as heels, need to remove dead skin. Once that is done, oils are nice. And hand cream 24/7.

Gold Bond has a cream for "bumps" and CeraVe has one for "psoriasis" that do wonders for heels and cuticles.

i have been using Via Natural Ultra Care Coconut Oil (available on amazon) and i absolutely LOVE it. i apply liberally about an hour before bed ... (when i am done using my hands for the day) and let it soak in for an hour before i wash my face. any excess comes off at that point so i don't get it all over my bedding, which i did with some other oils last year!

good luck.

I liked beekman cuticle cream. A little goes a long way.

I agree with the recommendation of using oils. It's most convenient for me to use the oil I use on my face...usually argan or jojoba.

It IS less messy to use solid shea butter. I do keep that bedside for hands, feet...especially heels.

I use T.I.P.S sesame oil and love it. I've used the argan oil but prefer the balm for the cuticles.

I actually use Josie Maran's body butter. I use a little dab of that each night before bed.
