Hello, It's to make the cuticle part (around the actual fingernail) soft and ,less likely to wear and tear. You put it on and and then wash off with soap and water. You know whats great ? Vitamin E..

Hi there, Vaseline is ok for protection of the cuticles but it won't actually be absorbed by your matrix (the cells that lie underneath the cuticle). In my opinion, olive oil is the best cuticle oil you can use and it's free!! (Assuming of course you have it in your cupboard that is!) Even if you have to buy it, a bottle of that will last you a thousand times longer than any tiny bottle of cuticle oil will. It really is fantastic and to be honest, used in most cuticle oils anyway as the base ingridient. Ok, it won't smell of Almonds or Peach etc etc but it will do the job and will feed your nail. Failing that, pop into your local chemist and ask for some Almond Oil. Again, it it scent free but it is pure oil straight from the Almond and is also a fantastic option. The best thing tdo do with either of these (Olive or Almond) is place a small amount in a small bowl and place that bowl in a bigger one full of hot water. The heat from the hot water in the big bowl will warm up the oil then you can place all five fingers in the small bowl for about 5-10 minutes and it will penetrate into your cuticles and voila! Your own intensive treatment for you nails minus the salon prices!!! Hope this helps.

What Is Cuticle Oil

I use cuticle oil to keep my cuticles from getting dry, cracked and whitish looking. I buy Solar Oil, which is $10.00 at the drugstore. I love it. I use it on my toes too. It has a little brush like nail polish does, and it's so easy to use. I've tried other brands that are cheaper, but nothing beats Solar Oil.
If you have really nice cuticles, then you probably don't need it.

it is used to push back the cuticles, and help moisturize the nail. You simply dab a bit onto the cuticle and use a cotton ball to push the cuticle back into the nail bed,. This gives a manicured and healthy appearance to the nails. The store i bought the oil from said never to use a cuticle tool it just makes it grow back in an "UN-tidy" manner.

It works wonders on dry ashy cuticles. It moisturizes them and helps strengthen the nail. Works much better than baby oil and Vaseline.

Yes, that would work just fine. Also a fun little tip, if you want to moisturize your feet you can use Vaseline for that too. Put it on your heels and whatnot then stick some socks on. In the morning they'll be much softer.
