Cuticle Oil, why?!

Cuticle oil is a product for your nails and cuticles. It’s most commonly made up of oils and sometimes contains vitamins and citric acid. At Urban Hippie we use several different oils, but customize it for your specific needs.

In Colorado we are people who do things so our Cuticles are exposed to excessive cold, sun, chlorine, & salty or soapy water. Health care and teachers are exposed to intense cleaners and sanitizers. Your cuticles can become chapped, cracked, and dry or even bleed. In these cases of extreme dryness and damage, cuticle oil can help moisturize your cuticle and nail, restoring it to health. So before you go pick at your cuticles pick up your cuticle bottle or stick and avoid ruining your manicure.

The act of applying cuticle oil can increase the circulation around your nails, stimulating nail growth. It can also help to protect your nail and cuticle against trauma and distract you from picking. Do you suffer from anxiety or stress? This action, of applying oil, will reduce your want or need from picking or biting.

The oil can also help improve the health and appearance of your nail. If you come to us you will hear us ask you: “are you using oil on your nails”. Cuticle oil will also protect your polish & any type of extensions you have on your fingers for a lasting service.

So, at your next appointment ask your tech on how to purchase and use UH house made cuticle oil for a lasting set of nails!
