You're probably removing your cuticles incorrectly—these 4 easy steps will up your mani game tenfold

How to remove cuticles.

I'm obsessed with cuticles (or our lack of them). One scroll of the most beautiful nail trends on your Instagram feed and you won't see a dry cuticle or hangnail in sight. (And there are some seriously pretty spring nail designs doing the rounds right now.)

Thanks to the rise in trends like the Russian manicure, there's been an increase in wanting to completely remove the cuticle (though, the cuticle isn't actually what you think it is, but more on that later). However, this skin serves a purpose and protects us from infection. While I completely understand the want for your nails to look as polished as possible, cuticles require care.
