Moisturizing
Cuticles are the thin skin layer near the bottom of your nails. They are connected to your nails and tend to peel or flake due to dryness. To keep these parts healthy, you can apply thick moisturizers. It is better to use creams and ointments rather than lighter lotions. Many experts recommend using petroleum jelly for these tasks. Since ointments might become messy, you should apply them only before bed time. Using ointments during the day can be sticky and cumbersome for your nails during the day. [2]
