What is the purpose of using cuticle cream?

Cuticle cream is specifically formulated to hydrate and protect dry skin around the nails, making the first choice the most accurate. When applied regularly, cuticle cream helps to soften the cuticles, preventing them from becoming overly dry and potentially painful. This hydration also contributes to the overall health of the nails and the surrounding skin.

While some might think cuticle cream could have a role in removing excess cuticle, that function is typically accomplished with a cuticle remover or nipper, rather than a cream designed for hydration. Polishing the nails refers to a different process involving buffing or applying a shiny coating to the nail surface and is not related to the purpose of cuticle cream. As for strengthening the nail bed, cuticle cream does not directly affect the strength of the nails; it is more focused on conditioning the cuticles and the skin around the nails.
