Can I use this cream on my cuticles and the skin around my nails? — LEMON-GLYCERIN REPAIR CREAM 50 ml. – NC

The product information explicitly notes suitability for the area around the nails and cuticles, which often become rough and dehydrated from hand washing, cleaning agents, or cold air. Glycerine works as a humectant there just as it does on the back of the hand: it attracts moisture to the stratum corneum and reduces the tight feeling that leads to hangnails.

Apply a very small amount — roughly a rice-grain per hand — and massage it into the cuticle line and the lateral folds. Because the cream sinks in quickly, it will not leave a slick film on the nail plate that could interfere with polish adhesion. If you wear gel or regular polish, wait a minute after application before touching anything; the residual oils from the massage step are minimal.

For deeper cuticle care, pair this daytime cream with a dedicated cuticle oil at night. The oil provides lipid replenishment that a water-based cream cannot, while the cream maintains daytime hydration and comfort.
