I have used the SH gel cuticle remover but actually find that anything that says 'remover' usually makes my cuticles worse - dried out, sore and nasty. Instead of using a remover gel or cream, these days I wait until I've had a bath or shower (so they're soft) or after they've had a good soak in hand cream, and then gently push them back (with my nails, not a tool, as it's gentler). My cuticles also dislike any cuticle oil or balm that's based on liquid paraffin (which would also include Vaseline)or anything really waxy (like Burt's Bees or Avon cuticle balm) Instead they like the simple things: almond oil, plenty of hand cream, and coconut oil. I haven't tried pure Shea Butter yet but it's something I plan to do as I've heard good things about it. I've also been trying Lush Lemony Flutter recently (which contains Shea butter amongst other things), it's only early days but so far they seem quite happy!Opalline Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465708454337499071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098017328243654563.post-88650401194660890472013-04-18T18:52:32.989+01:002013-04-18T18:52:32.989+01:00I'm really glad I came across this page.

But, your mention of psoriasis made me take notice. I suffer from chronic eczema (psoriasis' slightly-less-anoying cousin...lol). No matter what I do , my cuticles are always dry and ugly. I never thought for a second that it was because of my eczema!<br />So I'm curiose- what works best for your cuticles? I typically just use cuticle oil (no particular brand, none have trumped over the other in my opinion), vaseline, and Rose Salve to moisturize, and Sally Hansen's gel cuticle remover once a week. But I still get ugly little jagged edges :( Any suggestions?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14939106522671857397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098017328243654563.post-9912969846460342212011-11-17T16:59:24.446+00:002011-11-17T16:59:24.446+00:00I get scared every time I see my toes now.

I like it and I recognise the dents in nails I get them as well as ridges. <br /><br />Just FYI my toes are extremely pink - think Barbie and fingers very light purple with glitter.Hildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10820568407250729551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098017328243654563.post-46800587543281424162011-11-13T16:03:34.047+00:002011-11-13T16:03:34.047+00:00very pretty colorvery pretty colorShannarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01385383671515078556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098017328243654563.post-40097002595490554192011-11-13T08:07:37.104+00:002011-11-13T08:07:37.104+00:00I must be obsessed.
