Mavala's cuticle oil maintains the suppleness of the cuticles and softens the skin around the nail enabling it to be rolled gently back. Provides a well groomed contour to the nails. Directions for use apply around the nail heart, particularly at the base. Massage cuticles with a firm rotating motion towards the hands and allow the cream to penetrate. Best when used daily, at bedtime, to allow the product to act during the night. Once a week or when doing your manicure, push back cuticles with a manicure stick wrapped in cotton. Remove traces of cuticle oil on nails before continuing with manicure, to allow base coat and nail polish to adhere. Note cuticle oil has the same properties as cuticle cream
