Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Nails:

• Begin by ensuring your hands and nails are clean. Wash your hands with soap and warm water to remove any dirt or oil.

2. Soften Your Cuticles:

• If possible, soak your fingertips in warm water for 3-5 minutes. This helps soften the cuticles, making them easier to work with. You can add a few drops of mild soap or Epsom salt to the water for added softening.

3. Apply the Cuticle Remover Gel:

• Carefully read the instructions on the cuticle remover gel product you’re using.
• Typically, you’ll apply a small amount of the gel directly onto your cuticles. Use the applicator provided with the product or a cotton swab for precision.

4. Wait for the Gel to Work:

• Follow the recommended waiting time mentioned in the product instructions. This usually ranges from 1 to 3 minutes, depending on the brand and formula.

5. Gently Push Back the Cuticles:

• After the gel has had time to work, use an orange stick or cuticle pusher to gently push back your softened cuticles. Start at the base of your nail and push towards the tip. Be very gentle to avoid damaging the nail or surrounding skin.

6. Remove Excess Cuticles:

• If there are any loose or excess cuticle skin, you can carefully trim it with nail clippers or gently file it away with a nail file. Be cautious not to cut too close to the healthy skin.

7. Rinse and Cleanse:

• Wash your hands with warm water to remove any remaining gel and residue. Ensure all traces of the cuticle remover gel are gone.

8. Moisturize:

• Finish by applying a cuticle oil or a nourishing hand cream to keep your cuticles and nails hydrated.

9. Nail Polish (Optional):

• If you plan to apply nail polish, make sure your nails are completely dry and free from any oil or lotion before proceeding with your nail color.
