To use a cuticle oil stick, simply apply the oil directly to your cuticles and the skin around your nails, then massage it in thoroughly.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Application: Gently apply the cuticle oil from the stick onto your cuticles. Most cuticle oil sticks have a brush applicator, making it easy to distribute the oil precisely.
- Massage: After applying the oil, massage it into your cuticles and the surrounding skin. This helps the oil absorb and promotes circulation. The video reference suggests a "really good massage" to alleviate dryness.
- Frequency: Apply cuticle oil regularly, especially after washing your hands, using hand sanitizer (though the video notes this can increase dryness so more frequent application might be needed), or any activity that may dry out your hands.
Consistent use of a cuticle oil stick helps keep your cuticles moisturized, preventing them from becoming dry, cracked, and prone to hangnails.
