Sally Hansen Vitamin E Nail and Cuticle Oil, 13.3ml

Product Information

The ingredients are the most important part,” says Julie Kandalec, a nail artist in New York City. “You should make sure the ingredients have molecules that are small enough to penetrate the skin (versus something with a large molecule that just sits on top and doesn't actually help).” Because it moisturizes the skin, however, it may offer temporary relief from itching caused by dry skin.

Cuccio’s professional-grade cuticle oil is used in salons around the world, and it’s easy to see why. Safflower oil, honey, vitamin E, and lactic acid work together to soothe and refresh skin and nails, offering moisture that lasts. It also comes in a whopping 2.5-ounce bottle, the biggest cuticle oil we’ve found, so it will last a long time. Anyone who is looking to hydrate and strengthen their nails and cuticles should consider adding vitamin E oil to their routine. And because finding the perfect vitamin E oil or hand cream can be a game of trail-and-error, below are five expert-approved products. Anything from dry, cold weather to repeated hand-washing can do a number on the skin on your hands, particularly your cuticles. In fact, they're even more prone to wear-and-tear since they surround the nails, which are constantly growing. While using hand cream to hydrate dry skin may be second nature, one important step that people tend to skip is cuticle oil. A step that, according to Paintbox Nail Studios Chief Educator Evelyn Lim, is key to having healthy nails.While there are many great ingredients in cuticle oils, jojoba oil and vitamin E are the top two to look for to help nourish skin, Lim says. For the best application, she suggests placing a small amount of oil at the base of the nail and along the sides, then gently rubbing it in. Follow by smoothing on a hand cream for a complete hand and nail treatment. Lim recommends applying it twice a day, but there is not such thing as "too much" when it comes to cuticle oil: More really is better.

L’Occitane’s beloved cuticle oil may be simple, but it is mighty. With a blend of shea butter, almond oil, castor oil, and avocado oil, it’s deeply hydrating and leaves nail beds nourished and soft. The brush tip applicator makes it easy to apply the cuticle oil with no mess or wasted time. Plus, it smells absolutely heavenly. Another tip from Dr. Chaudhry: Some hand lotions can actually make your nails worse, so if you use hand creams, look for ones that have dermatologically tested formulas, and don’t use those in place of a nail oil. And as a rule, oils can penetrate moisturizers, so the doctor says it's better to apply your nail oil after you use lotion on your hands, not before.
