It doesn’t matter if you’re a salon appointment kind of gal, or a DIY mani queen, Cuticle Oil and Nail Serum is an essential beauty item that every woman should own. Honestly, we feel it deserves to be considered a hero in the nail world, as it has the ability to accomplish so much more than you might expect.
According to Tayla Kennedy, a beauty salon owner and 10+ year experienced Nail Technician:
"The benefit of cuticle oil includes supporting overall nail health, promoting nail growth, as well as extending the life of all types of manicures, including polish, gel, and enhancements. Cuticle oil drives moisture into the nail bed and surrounding tissue, which leads to nails having become healthy, strong, and flexible, as well as less prone to breakage, hangnails, and chipping."

What are the benefits of Cuticle Oil?

These cuticle oils aren’t just good for promoting strength and repairing damage, they will also drastically improve the appearance of your natural nails by proving a deep hydration and glow to your nail bed.
Repairs nail & skin damage
Cuticles can become chapped, cracked, and dry as a result of excessive cold, sun, salt water, chlorine, or exposure to chlorinated water. There may be times when your cuticle and nail are extremely dry and damaged. When this occurs, cuticle oil can assist in restoring your cuticle and nail to health.

Using cuticle oil can also help to protect your nail and cuticle from getting damaged. This serum can be used as a potent nail growth serum with incredible results when used consistently.

A good quality nail serum will also act as a natural nail strengthening oil. If you paint your nails, cuticle oil can also prevent your polish from chipping and making your polish last longer by adding natural strength to your nails.
Improved appearance and hydration
In addition to providing nail strengthening properties, nail serums will also improve the health of your nails as well as the appearance. You can see the difference between a hydrated nail and cuticle bed, compared to a de-hydrated and weakened cuticle.
What to look for in a Cuticle Oil
There are a number of cuticle oils on the market that are formulated by combining oils and other ingredients, which can be a great thing if you have rough, dry cuticles or thin, breaking nails. You should consider oils with hydrating ingredients such as Fractionated Coconut Oil, Certified Organic Argan Oil, Certified Organic Jojoba Oil, Almond Oil.
