I ruined my skin recently because I got hooked on the “cuticle”-obsessed influencers. I purchased oils and nippers and scissors and tried to mimic their tutorials. I was in so much pain with raw and torn skin, thinking there was something anatomically weird about my nails. So I did research and saw these diagrams and realized I had been removing and picking with living skin. Thanks for creating this video. There are so many nail influencers without anatomy knowledge spreading misinformation or unintentionally misleading followers because they are vague and aren’t clear with advice. I hope this information becomes more widespread. Thanks again.

I can barely articulate my feelings right now. This has literally changed everything about how I will take care of my nails. I can't thank you enough for sharing and making this so easy to understand!

Geez!!!

Before the era of influencers i learned most of my beauty info from magazines and while they were responsible enough to say “cutting your cuticles is bad” they never explained why and they never explained the difference between cuticles and proximal nail folds. So yeah it is life changing she moment you realize the difference!

[zennrising]

Thanks to your videos I no longer cut my living skin! I have not had any long stretchy thick dry skin or hangnails since. It took about 10 weeks but with patience I am now enjoying beautiful “cuticles” people think I go to the salon to get perfect manicures but all I do is keep them oiled and push back the skin weekly. There’s hardly even anything to scrape off anymore. SO GRATEFUL! And… saving lots of time and money on nail treatment gimmicks😅

[dana_yan]

I learned so much and it makes so much sense now. Kinda angry that every salon that I have been to over the years have cut the skin around my nails. The industry needs to be more informed. Thank you for educating us 💕

[tanyabyron]

I can’t believe it! I thought I just had “bad cuticles” I’ve been fighting this issue for years. THANK YOU!

[leahchase]

Anna, please keep doing this series. You’re teaching us so much and it’s so very helpful!! Thank you 💝 (please never apologize for being so thorough - there is nothing extraneous here! We need to understand ALL of what you are sharing!)

[iNanieke]

Never stop being the cuticle police! 😁❤️

By the way you are so good at explaining things.. it all makes so much sense! I literally feel like I attended a biology class after watching this video. You made me passionate about nails .. (yes I've been binge watching your videos for a week or so), and I just signed up for an official 8 month training to become a manicurist, here in the Netherlands. Thank you ❤

[KismetKat]

Wow! This is so helpful! I didn’t realize there was a difference between the cuticle and the skin around the nail. The skin near my cuticles is hard, so I pick at it which causes it to stay hard to protect itself. A never ending situation. This makes so much sense. Thank you very much!

[zuzuspetals]

Thank you. I have struggled with my “cuticles” my whole life. This was most informative and helpful. Knowledge is power. 😉

Very impressive video. I’m a manicurist of 30 years in California and it’s very rare I hear other manicurists that understand basic nail structure. Here in California even 30 years ago we learned nail anatomy. The one thing I would highly recommend with this person is to come in and get a weekly manicure until I see she is on the right track. This has always been my logic with this type of damage, people need support. So this is obviously some habits she has formed and need to gradually stop and that takes time. So when a client comes in they feel a sense of obligation to perform well. They want to get better with undoing these habits. I think with her keeping it super simple with the Kerasal lotion & CND treatment and that’s it. Why because of the open skin and inflamed eponychium. See how that helps after a week and go from there. We truly are like the therapist (trying to help understand the behavior to help correct or improve it), and the manicurist. Also, not expecting miracles but slow and steady progress in the right direction. This could look like 4 steps forward and 2 steps back, but you’re still ahead 2 steps. You should totally do an update on this client…I so wish I could help her. 💕 Great job on this video ‼️

I’ve been suffering with hand nail issues for five years now. No nail technician or Dr. (regular or dermatologist) has given me any real help. I’m so grateful to have fallen upon your channel and received this valuable information. Finally I have found a path forward to healthier nails. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! 💞

[trickycoolj]

Definitely something I’ve been working on for several years. I find when I go through really anxious/stressful times that unconscious picking habit comes back and my thumbs look like this and worse. Diligent manicures, a quick clean with blue cross rather than going crazy with cutters, and lots of moisturizing oils/lotions within reach when I find myself picking have helped. Car, desk, coffee table, night stand. For hangnails I carefully trim and use liquid bandage to help it from catching or tearing further and keeping it clean.

Thank you for sharing this information. I wore sculptured nails for years and it severely damaged my nails. Manicurists where I live always cut what I thought was the cuticle (Now I know it is the skin fold). I’ve tried doing my own nails, but never knew what I was doing wrong. I feel so much more equipped to take care of my nails myself. Thank you for your generosity in sharing It is such a shame that so many nail salons ignore or don’t care about the damage they are doing.

[sherryogle]

You are soo right. I used a glass file to make my nails shine. OMG, it wrecked my nails and took a long time for them to grow out. I so wish I would have found you and your channel long ago. It would have been such a game changer.
I will never get tired of your passion! Stay the course!

[nanax]

Thank you so much for generously sharing your knowledge with everyone! I have been doing my nails for…. forever, and I literally had NO idea I was causing more harm than good by buffing (a lot)! I never knew what a cuticle really was, amazing eye opener! I am learning so much from your videos! Thank you!!

[Bellemorte]

Wow, turns out I don't have cuticles and my issue is with the PNF 😮 Why is it then that a lot of nail technicians cut my PNF?? I am slightly horrified and angry. My PNF is so dry, ragged and torn and splits easily, catching on all sorts of things. Thank God I have found your channel. Starting my journey to nicer nails at 59 yrs old ☺️

[carolynbittle]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INFORMATION! I will never ever cut my nail folds again. No matter how badly I want to while I wait until they repair themselves😀

[susanshultis]

Your video popped for me today and I couldn’t be happier to hear your passion for nail anatomy. I suffer with hang nails, and terrible cuticles. I push them back, trim only when I need to and nothing fixes it. I am a nurse and the hand sanitizer is killing my skin

[donnamahoney]

Anna, never apologize for your passion! What a wealth of information. I hope this person takes your advice, my nails have never been as healthy as they are since I met you! Thank you for everything you do, your passion is inspiring
