@monicakm My cuticles aren't dry, but I do have skin that grows down around the edges of my nails.
I have to keep that skin pushed back or it looks awful.
butter London Melt Away Cuticle Exfoliator is amazing.
I got a set off of Good Morning America Steals & Deals that came with a glass "orange stick" to push back the cuticles.
It really does melt them away.
