What is "cuticle"?
The cuticle refers to the protective layer of skin found at the base of the fingernails and toenails. It forms a seal between the nail plate and the surrounding skin, acting as a barrier to prevent the entry of bacteria and other harmful substances. The cuticle helps maintain the health and integrity of the nail bed and promotes nail growth. It is important to care for the cuticles through regular moisturizing and gentle maintenance to keep them soft and prevent dryness or damage.
