3Never cut your cuticles. Your cuticles are important – they protect your nail’s growth matrix (the part the nails grow from) by preventing any dirt or bacteria from entering. As a result, you should refrain from cutting your cuticles and switch to pushing them back instead.
- Cutting your cuticles removes this protective layer and exposes your nails to infection. It also makes the skin of the cuticles harder and more prone to splitting and peeling.
- Don’t worry about your cuticles growing back faster once you stop cutting them – this is a myth. Their rate of growth will remain the same even if you stop cutting.

4Regularly moisturize your cuticles. Regularly moisturizing your cuticles is one of the most important steps in stopping your cuticles from peeling. You should moisturize them at least twice a day – once in the morning and once at night.
- Don’t forget that your cuticles are made out of skin (despite their thicker texture), and all skin needs to be moisturized in order to stay hydrated and prevent peeling and flaking.
- During the day you can use a moisturizing hand lotion which soaks in quickly and doesn’t leave your hands feeling greasy. At night, however, you might opt for a thicker cream or cuticle ointment for more intense hydration.
- After you moisturize your hands and cuticles at night, it is a good idea to wear a pair of cotton or wool gloves to bed. This prevents the cream or ointment from rubbing off on the bed sheets, while the extra heat will help your skin to really absorb the moisturizer. You will wake up in the morning with really soft hands and cuticles!
