Really dry skin round nails

My nails are a mess...cuticles are grown and the skin is really cracked by the nails.
I'm having a manicure on Monday to start them off ...which oil/ treatment should I get to keep them softer?

I really like the Shea butter cuticle oil from L'Occitane. It has a little brush & improved mine very quickly.

Flexitol nail & cuticle cream works really quickly

I really like burts bees lemon butter cuticle cream £5.99 from boots. (It's not a cream at all it's a solid balm so no idea why it's called that)

I would mix a spoon of sugar with some oil ( eg olive/ coconut) and rub it all over your hands and nails as if you are washing your hands with it, before rinsing off. It will sort out your cuticles and exfoliate and moisturise your hands.

OPI Avoplex oil is very good. But shop around for it as it can be very expensive - especially in Boots

Yes to Flexitol cream for cuticles, sorts things out v v quickly.
