Care of the Nails

The Nail should occupy half the space between the tip and the first knuckle. All nails have half-moons and if they don't show the cuticle needs training. Every time the hands are washed, and while they are drying, the cuticle should be pushed down with the towel. Once a day run the flat edge of the orange stick gently around under the edge of the cuticle, then rub a good cuticle cream all around underneath and on top. After ten minutes or so push the cuticle gently back where it belongs. Hangnails are caused by neglect or abuse of the cuticle, and by nerves. Don't cut them off with scissors and don't clean up the corners of the nails by cutting.
