What is a "cuticle pusher"?

A cuticle pusher is a small handheld tool used in nail care to push back the cuticles. It typically features a flat or rounded edge at one end and a pointed or slanted edge at the other. The flat or rounded edge is used to gently push back the cuticles, revealing more of the nail bed and creating a clean and defined nail shape. The pointed or slanted edge is often used to clean under the nails or remove dirt and debris from the nail bed.
