The industry of the nail service is striding with seven-league steps, and now, we already have the opportunity to "wear" nails of any shape and length to choose from and cover them with super-resistant gel-varnish. That's just what to do with the cuticle - so nothing really came up. She still continues to grow and spoil our beautiful nails with her sloppy look. It is the overgrown cuticle that most often becomes the culprit of frequent renewal of manicure.
Why does the cuticle grow fast?
The problem is that during the classical manicure , cutting the cuticle, we involuntarily provoke its increased growth. What's the matter? Cuticle is designed to protect the nail and its bed from external factors, and when we remove it, it begins to "sound the alarm" and recover with redoubled force. And yet our body perceives cutting even keratinized skin as an encroachment on its integrity and it is accepted to heal "trauma". That is why our freshly trimmed cuticle in just two or three days is not only restored in its usual sizes, but also strives to grow even more.
It turns out that a cuticle that has lost its appearance requires immediate correction, and hygienic manicure, in its turn, causes an increase in the growth of nail protection, and how to break this endless circle is incomprehensible. But there is a solution. It is not suitable for everyone and does not suit everyone, as it is believed that this procedure can never replace a classic manicure in its quality. This is a unedged manicure.
Unedged manicure: for and against
Uncutaneous manicure is gaining popularity, because it does not cause cuts and allows you to have neat fingers always, and not from procedure to procedure. Opponents of such non-traumatic nail care are convinced that without the mechanical removal of the cuticle, it is impossible to achieve the ideal manicure. On the one hand, yes. At the time of transition from one method to another cuticle, indeed, will not look the best way, because it will still continue to grow, but it will not be cut.
But on the other hand - the less you will disturb the nail skin, the less it will be irritated and respond to the sprawl. And if you add a systematic treatment (hydration, softening and nutrition), your hands will always be in great shape. This is the whole point of the unedged manicure.
How to get away from an edging manicure?
To forget about the need for circumcision cuticle, it takes a lot of patience. The best way is to hide the nail scissors and tweezers on the far shelf, so that the hand itself does not stretch to cut off the "extra". At first, the appearance of non-ideal nails is likely to cause you moral pain, but if you do not "break" and will methodically implement all the recommendations, your suffering will be rewarded.
Your manicure set should now consist of only three parts:
- good remedy for cuticle removal, or remover;
- nutritious oil for cuticles;
- untraumatic scraper (better wooden sticks for pushing away the cuticle) and nail file.
You will often use the cuticle remover for the first time. It dissolves the dead skin part, which can be quickly and painlessly removed after exposure to the remover. In order not to damage the nails, the remover should be applied without erasing the old varnish.
If the "extra" skin on the nails is not very much, then it is better not to touch it with a remover, but just gently move it with an orange stick. Of course, this will not look like a "cleaned" nail bed after treatment with manicure forceps up to the roller,
The main thing in unedged manicure - care, care and again care for the cuticle. The more moist, nourished it will be, the more it will become "alive": elastic, soft, thin, without dryness and burrs. Over time, having rested from the constant aggressive influence of manicure tools, the cuticle calms down and slows down its protective enhanced growth, which means that it can be held "in check" and without the use of forceps and nippers. A well-groomed look of your pens will necessarily bring you only positive emotions.
