My cuticles are scraggy,raggy, dry and ugly. I used to use oil on them but a beautician told me it thinned nails.
What do you use? All recommendations welcome.

Lush 'lemony flutter' has sorted out my previously disgusting cuticles, smells gorgeous too

Having recently restored both cuticles and nails to good health recently only to see them ravaged again, I'd say the most important thing, whatever you use, it to use it often and religiously.

Lansinoh works brilliantly on cuticles, esp toenails! Or aquaphor.

I used Essie Hand Scrub once or twice a week. Mild enough to use regularly, as find that it helps if the skin around the cuticle is treated as well as the cuticle itself. I use Boots cuticle cream twice a week. Last, but not least hand cream / oil - tried lots, but Flexitol for oil and C&E for cream. However, if you are washing up / using gel / wipes/ or using cleaning products it will undo your work. So, gloves on when possible, as I have found prevention is better than cure!

Eve Lom cuticle cream. It comes in a teeny tiny pot. You need a minuscule amount. It's incredible. I had previously tris almond oil and most of chucks creams in tubes, flexitol, paint on ones by Sally Hanson etc. this is far better.

Vaseline. Rub it into my cuticles and push them back every night. Also rub it into the back of my hands. Best thing I ever tried on my hands
