Cuticles protect your nail against bacteria and damage, so it is important that they are adequately protected. While pushing back cuticles, make sure the action is gentle. If you handle cuticles roughly, they could become damaged.
It is also important that cuticles do not become dry. Dry cuticles will tear and split. Protect your hands with gloves while doing house cleaning chores (like washing up). Apply a hand lotion regularly.
Dry cuticles can be treated with a herbal tea. Soak chamomile and peppermint in some warm water and let your hands soak in it for a while. Olive oil or jojoba oil is also good for dry cuticles.
