Can I use this cream on my cuticles and the skin around my nails? — Hand Cream with Coconut Oil 75 ml - Dr.Sante

Yes. According to the product information, this hand and nail cream is suitable for the nail area and cuticles. The skin around the nails is often exposed to soap, sanitizer, and water, which can leave it rough and dry. Applying a cream there is a simple way to soften dry cuticles and keep the area looking neater.

To use it on cuticles, squeeze a small amount onto one fingertip and lightly massage it into the skin around each nail. You do not need to soak your fingers or use a lot of product. Work the cream along the nail folds, over the cuticle, and briefly over the fingertip pad. If the cuticles are visibly rough, you can apply the cream at night before bed and let it sit while you sleep. Gently pushing the cuticles back after the cream has softened them is easier than forcing them when dry, but do not cut or tear the cuticle.

Because the cream is described as having a non-sticky finish, it is also practical to keep at a desk or in a bag and use after hand washing. It contains coconut oil, which is included for its fatty-acid content and its ability to help reduce moisture loss from the surface of the skin. That makes it a reasonable choice for the thin, drier skin around the nails. This product is intended for cosmetic care only; if you have concerns about your nails or skin, consult a specialist.
