Look for hydrating oils like argan, mango, sunflower, avocado, jojoba, and other ingredients like vitamin E—they'll ensure your cuticles are moisturized and soft. We like the JINsoon Cuticle Oil formula, as it contains several nourishing oils.

Always apply cuticle oil when you have time to let it soak in. Washing or sanitizing your hands after application will remove the oil and diminish the benefits. I suggest applying cuticle oil while sitting at your desk, before bedtime, or when you are relaxing!

Massage the oil into the cuticles: Using your fingertips, gently massage the cuticle oil into each nail and cuticle in circular motions. This helps to stimulate blood circulation and aids in the absorption of the oil.

However, only specifically designed cuticle oil will move across you're your gel or acrylic nails to keep them flexible and protect your manicure. Cuticle oils penetrate deeper than standard oils or moisturisers, which will only superficially soften.
