How to have smooth, even cuticle, perfect nails
NLY a bit of cuticle onetwelfth of an inch wide covers each delicate nail root. You can see from the diagram what a tiny protection this is.
Yet the nail root is very sensitive. When it is injured, the nail which grows from it, and the cuticle which covers it, are spoiled.
Some people actually cut the fine rim of cuticle which protects the nail root!
Sometime, see for yourself the injury cuticle cutting does:-— Look through a magnifying glass at a cuticle that has been manicured with scissors or knife.
What the magnifying glass reveals
You will see that there are many little raw places where more than the dead skin has been cut.

It is easy to keep your nails always in exquisite condition without cutting or over-rough pushing back. It is only a matter of a few minutes’ care.
In the Cutex package you will find an orange stick and a quantity of absorbent cotton. Wrap some of the cotton around the end of the orange stick, dip it into the bottle and work it around the base of your nails. The surplus cuticle is softened, removed. Then carefully wash the hands with soap and water, pushing the cuticle back when drying them.
By this method, in only a few minutes you can keep your nails in perfect condition. Give your hands this care regularly and you will never again blush for their ragged, uncouth appearance.
