| Boots Salon Nail Care Cuticle Remover |
I’ve got to admit that I’m a bit of a nail care noob;
although I love painting my nails and dabbling in nail art, I didn’t do much
in terms of cuticle work and general maintenance until a few months ago. Only a
year ago I didn’t even truly know what a cuticle was *awkward*. Now that I know
which part of the nails is the cuticle, they have become objects of my
obsession. I’ve been pushing them back and applying nail oils and balms
religiously. However none of these processes actually remove the dead skin once
it’s pushed back and it just tends to congregate at the base of the nail. I
don’t want to cut my cuticles because it seems to be a dead certain no-no… (I
still think it looks so much neater though). So because of these reasons, I’ve
been looking for a remover to *magically* dissolve the cuticles away for me.
Cuticle removers seem far and few between on the high
street. I’ve seen good reviews for some of Sally Hansen’s ones like the one in
the blue bottle and the gel in the green tube (sorry I can’t remember the
names!) but I can’t find them at decent prices. I saw this one at £4.20 and
thought I’d try it and begin at the bottom of the price ladder and work my way
up should I need to.
The instructions say to use this no more than once a week
but I say it’s probably better if I don’t use this at all. It did nothing
whatsoever for my cuticles! I massaged it into my cuticles and noticed it
had a strange texture. It felt a bit like a sticky body lotion with a few
grains of sugar in it. I don’t know if it’s meant to be more of an exfoliator
than a remover but the exfoliating beads were so far and few between that it
can’t be expected to do much exfoliating. I left it on for a minute and then
started pushing the cuticles back. It did soften the cuticles but I didn’t
notice much removal, which is what this product is supposedly for. I should have checked the reviews on Boots.com before buying this. Oh well, on to the
next one!
