Rub ample amounts of moisturiser or cuticle cream into clean nails and hands to gently soften skin and cuticles. Soak hands in a bowl of warm water. Gently clean under and around the nail using the fine end of this quality, stainless steel tool. Use the "Pushy" end to delicately push back the cuticles on each hand. If there is excess dead cuticle build-up, trim extra-carefully with our precision nippers.
