Hand & Cuticle Care
Healthy-looking nails start with healthy-looking hands. Discover simple daily habits to keep your hands and cuticles hydrated and your manicure looking polished between appointments.
Why Does Hand Hydration Matter?
Your hands are constantly exposed to water, soap, cleaning products, weather and everyday activities.
Over time, these factors can leave the skin feeling dry and make the area around your nails appear less smooth.
Regular moisturising helps keep the skin around the nails feeling soft and conditioned, while also helping your manicure maintain a more polished appearance between salon appointments.
What Can Make Your Hands and Cuticles Feel Dry?
Dryness around the hands and nails can be influenced by many everyday factors.
- Frequent hand washing
- Regular use of hand sanitiser
- Household cleaning products
- Sun exposure
- Air conditioning
- Not moisturising regularly
- Picking or cutting the skin around the nails
Malta's warm climate and frequent exposure to sun, sea water and air conditioning can also contribute to hands feeling dry, particularly during the warmer months.
How Can You Keep Your Hands Hydrated?
You don't need a complicated beauty routine. Small habits performed regularly can make a noticeable difference to the appearance and feel of your hands.
Why Is Cuticle Care Important?
The cuticle area is an important part of your natural nail. When the surrounding skin becomes dry, it can be tempting to pull, bite or cut it at home.
Instead, keep the area moisturised with a suitable cuticle oil or hand cream and allow your nail technician to professionally manage excess cuticle during your manicure.
Regular cuticle care can help the area around your nails look smoother, cleaner and more polished.
Keep Your Hand Cream Somewhere You Can See It
A simple routine is easier to maintain when the product is easy to reach. Keep your hand cream beside your bed, on your desk or inside your handbag and use it regularly instead of waiting until your hands feel extremely dry.
Does Hydration Matter If You Wear Gel or Extensions?
Yes. Hand and cuticle hydration can still be an important part of your beauty routine whether you wear natural nails, gel polish, rubber base, hard gel or nail extensions.
The important thing is to care for the surrounding skin without picking, peeling or removing nail products yourself.
Your nail technician can also recommend a treatment according to the condition of your natural nails, your lifestyle and the result you want to achieve.

How often should I use cuticle oil?
Cuticle oil can be used regularly as part of your nail-care routine, particularly when the skin around your nails begins to feel dry.
