I have always had this problem of cuticle skin peeling and causing pain. I was a nail biter for years but got rid of the habit 7 years back, and along with nails I always used to pick at peeling cuticles which caused a lot of pain. Cuticles peel due to dryness and when you don\u2019t regularly moisturize it. Dry and damaged cuticles can be quite painful and look unsightly.\u00a0You can stop your cuticles from peeling without much effort. Here are some tips to stop your cuticles from peeling:<\/p>\n
LEMON AND HONEY<\/strong><\/p>\n Add juice of half a lemon and 1 teaspoon honey to a bowl or warm water. Soak your hands in it for 5 minutes and rinse it off using cool tap water. Dry your hands and apply vitamin E oil, olive oil or a good moisturizer\u00a0in order to keep your cuticles soft and moisturized.<\/p>\n ALOE VERA<\/strong><\/p>\n Aloe vera gel moisturizes your cuticles and soothes inflammation. It also has a cooling effect on the skin. It is antimicrobial that keeps infections at bay and helps peeling cuticles with regular usage. Take out fresh gel from the aloe vera leaf and store it in a tiny jar to keep it handy. Rub it on the cuticles multiple times a day and do not rinse it off.<\/p>\n OLIVE OIL<\/strong><\/p>\n Olive oil can be used as an overnight hand and cuticle treatment. It moisturizes your cuticles and also heal already peeled cuticle. Apply warm olive oil generously over the cuticles and hands and wear cotton hand gloves.
