You may hear the word “cuticle” but not know exactly what it is.
You might think that if you might see your cuticles, you should remove them.
But is there any real reason to push them back, or more drastically, cut them?
It turns out that whether or not you push your cuticles back is entirely about appearance.
The only reason you would want to push your cuticles back is to make your nails appear longer.
This you better be much more gentle with as it is living tissue.
They’re supposed to be soft, and cutting can make them hard, more likely to fracture.
If you cut it, it has an increased tendency to split off."
