however, which are astringent in
their action. and IL these are used on
/ the nails they will not encourage the
growth of cuticle. but at the same
| time they will keep the cuticle soft
and smooth.
Such creams are Il recent invention
| I happened to run across one first in
England. although of course we are
manufacturing them in orr own
country: The necessary thing is to
keep the cuticle soft and smooth and
not allow it to grow down over the
! finger nails. The part that grows over
the nail has no nerves in it and is
called dead cuticle; it has to be kept
scraped off or else. because It is join
ed to the live cuticle. it will break of
and form hang mails.
A great many people use acid 10
dissolve the dead cuticle and TO keep
the edges of the nail smooth ana
even. But acids are very drying and
their effect is temporary; in time they
will make the cuticle much rougher
than il was before.
A cuticle cream solves the problem.
If it is astringent it will keep back
this ever-growing skin, and SO give
the nail itself a good outline. Al the
same time, since it contains oil. IT
will not dry the skin but Will keep
it soft.
There are various things one might
use for this: for instance. carbolated
vaseline which most manicurists
claim is rather drying-at least. dry
ing enough to keep this undesired
dead skin off without having the ILL
effects of n drying acid. And cam
phor ice would be very good. for the
camphor is sufficiently astringent, yet
there is enough oil to keep this deli
cate cuticle soft. However. / have
a formula for a cuticle cream which
will be an enormous aid to the woman
who does her own manicuring. If the
nails are very hard, it can be rubbed
in every night until they are i'm
proved, otherwise it should be rubbed
on the nails and allowed to stay on
for about five minutes or SO before
the manicure. The nails can then be
cleared of dead skin with a cuticle
knife, the live cuticle pushed back
and the worst part of the manicure is
over.
