What Is a Cuticle and How Can You Safely Care for It?

What Is a Cuticle and How Can You Safely Care for It?

Where’s the cuticle and what does it do?

The cuticle is a layer of clear skin located along the bottom edge of your finger or toe. This area is known as the nail bed. The cuticle function is to protect new nails from bacteria when they grow out from the nail root.

The area around the cuticles is delicate. It can get dry, damaged, and infected. It’s important to care for the entire nail area and keep it clean so that your nails stay healthy.

Read on to learn more about the cuticle and what you can do to care for this area.

Cuticle vs. nail lunula

The cuticle is the transparent skin located above and around the nail base. The lunula is the half-moon shape seen at the base of the nail. The lunula is located above the cuticle.

Illustration of the cuticle and nail

Hair cuticles

Human hair also contains cuticles. These are different from nail cuticles but have a similar function. Hair cuticles serve as a protective layer for the hair. They’re composed of dead, overlapping cells.

When healthy, these cuticles give your hair shine and protect its inner layers from damage.

How do you take care of your cuticles?

It’s important to keep your cuticles clean at home. This prevents infection.

The easiest way to care for them is to soak your hand or foot in soapy, warm water for around 10 minutes every few days. This helps soften the cuticle and keeps your nails clean.

You can also apply cuticle oil and a massage cream. Moisturize your cuticles regularly to prevent dryness and cracking.

What Is a Cuticle and How Can You Safely Care for It?

Is it safe to cut them?

Research about the safety of cutting cuticles is mixed. Both the Mayo Clinic and American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) advise against cutting cuticles. This includes cutting them at home or in a nail salon.

Cuticles protect both your nails and the skin surrounding them from infection. After cutting the cuticle, it’s easier for bacteria and germs to get inside. This can lead to an infection.

The Best Skin-Care Tools and Devices to Try at Home

The Best Skin-Care Tools and Devices to Try at Home

Over the past few years, technology and skincare have collided more than ever before, causing us to wonder: Could there soon be a day when all our precious serums and creams will be rendered obsolete, replaced by a bevy of high-tech tools and devices? The short answer is probably not. No product-obsessed person would ever dare say “see ya later” to their beloved top shelf, but that’s not to say the aforementioned gadgets won’t seriously upgrade the skin-care game — and potentially shake up the industry as we know it.

Need proof? We have a Food and Drug Administration-cleared LED mask that’ll help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fight acne and a vibrating facial massage tool that mimics your body’s natural lymphatic system. Oh, and there’s an epidermal growth factor (EGF) Micro-Needling + Ion Infusion Kit from Georgia Louise to consider as well — which creates tons of tiny channels on your skin’s surface.

The tech-based options we’re exposed to seem to be increasing by the month, let alone year, so we’ve rounded up 17 dermatologist- and editor-approved skin-care tools worth trying out this year, including a handheld LED light that literally zaps away the appearance of fine lines over time.

All products featured on Allure are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare’s DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro has three treatment options: red LED (light-emitting-diodes) lights to penetrate your skin’s dermis and stimulate collagen production, blue LED lights to kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce signs of fine lines, discoloration, and inflammation, and a combination of red and blue for all of the above benefits at once. And best of all? It only takes three minutes to do its magic.

LED light therapy has been a long-standing favorite of aestheticians such as Angelia Caglia, Georgia Louise, Joanna Czech, and Shani Darden — not just on their clients, but themselves as well.

Dr. Dennis Gross also offers a goggles-like LED therapy mask specifically to target and firm up your eye area.

Skin Care Tools to Try for a More Lifted and Sculpted Spring

As ever-smarter and smaller technology transforms the way we live, innovation naturally translates to an ever-improving field of the best skin care tools to transform our complexions—no trip to the dermatologist’s office required. From a collagen-producing microneedling tool to a powerful bacteria-fighting light, and many in between, here are 15 of the best skin care tools that prove the future of beauty is only getting brighter.

Best Tools for Lifting

NuFace’s pronged microcurrent massager—beloved by stars like Riverdale’s Madeline Petsch—stimulates facial muscles in 5- to 20-minute sessions, leaving complexions firmer and more toned. Slather on a conducting gel pre-use, so the rollers glide easily over skin. Otherwise, glide this ReFa tool across your face and décolletage to boost circulation and firm skin.

Best Tools for Cleansing

Trying to keep breakouts at bay? Upgrade your cleansing routine with devices that take face washing to the next level. Combining Swedish design with sonic cleansing technology, Foreo’s pulsating disc is covered in bacteria-repelling silicone nubs that help lift impurities from pores without aggressive scrubbing. Shiseido Cleansing Massage Brush offers a deep yet gentle cleanse, and its fine bristles make the skin appear smoother and softer to touch.

Best Tool to Deliver Skin Care Ingredients

Droplette’s Microinfusion Device is a beauty tool integral to Brooke Shield’s beauty routine. Though the actor opts for the topical collagen supplement, the device can also deliver a blend of hydrating and anti-aging ingredients deep below the skin barrier.

Best Tools for Brightening and Anti-Aging

Struggling with fine lines and dull skin? Long hailed for their powerful results, LED lights treat a range of skin care issues in 10 minutes or less a day. Blue light decreases acne flare-ups, red stimulates the skin’s collagen production and helps reduce hyperpigmentation, while yellow decreases inflammation and can even soothe sore muscles. Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare delivers similarly potent benefits with a hands-free mask made for Netflix marathons, while Trophy Skin’s treatment utilizes four UV wavelengths to reduce the appearance of sun damage, fine lines, and other signs of aging.

Latest Trends In Deluxe Beauty Devices

skinccj

April 20, 2022

Beauty devices are made for everyone, and the market now has different options for all budgets, but when it comes to deluxe tools, some features differentiate those products from the others.

For example, the LYMA Laser System is a medical-grade skin renewal treatment you can have at home. This beautifully designed device uses laser energy that treats signs of aging plus skin elasticity, scars, rosacea; eye drooping, thread veins, pigmentation, and acne. This treatment is promised to be gentle, non-abrasive, and with no downtime after use. Furthermore, the manufacturer guarantees a safe and pain-free experience for all skin types and tones. The recommended session is 15 minutes a day for 3-4 months for visible results.

Another elite product is the Dr. Arrivo Zeus II device which combines four advanced anti-aging technologies to tighten the skin. This combination of technology is patented and promises an actual reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while stimulating collagen production and rebuilding facial muscles to restore elasticity. The treatment happens with nine electrodes in a freely moving head that has the power of acting on the whole face in a pain-free and non-invasive way.

Lastly, we cite the OXYjet GO Oxygen Facial System, which is known for being a revolutionary anti-aging skincare delivery system that comes with its own serum formulations to be applied during the treatment. It is safe to use nearly anywhere, including the face, neck, hands, and body. The at-home treatment happens by applying the two serums in numerical order to the place of concern for 10-20 minutes, twice a day, three times per week in the first month. The instant result is a more hydrated and youthful skin, and over time, there will be an improvement in hyperpigmentation, dark circles, and fine lines.

In conclusion, the deluxe devices are more than just a unique design, as they usually apply the newest technologies or a combination of them to obtain results that are faster and deliver more specific results than the regular skin devices.

Can High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Treatment Replace Face Lifts?

skinccj

April 20, 2022

Can High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Treatment Replace Face Lifts?

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a relatively new cosmetic treatment for skin tightening that some consider a noninvasive and painless replacement for face lifts. It uses ultrasound energy to encourage the production of collagen, which results in firmer skin.

HIFU is most widely known for its use in treating tumors. The first reported use of HIFU for aesthetic use was in 2008.

HIFU was then approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2009 for brow lifts. The device was also cleared by the FDA in 2014 to improve lines and wrinkles of the upper chest and neckline (décolletage).

Several small clinical trials have found HIFU to be safe and effective for facial lifting and refining wrinkles. People were able to see results in a few months after treatment, without the risks associated with surgery.

HIFU facial

HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to target the layers of skin just below the surface. The ultrasound energy causes the tissue to heat up rapidly.

Once the cells in the targeted area reach a certain temperature, they experience cellular damage. While this may seem counterintuitive, the damage actually stimulates the cells to produce more collagen — a protein that provides structure to the skin.

The increase in collagen results in tighter, firmer skin with fewer wrinkles. Since the high-frequency ultrasound beams are focused on a specific tissue site below the skin’s surface, there’s no damage to the upper layers of the skin and adjacent issue.

HIFU may not be appropriate for everyone. In general, the procedure works best on people older than 30 with mild-to-moderate skin laxity.

People with photodamaged skin or a high degree of loose skin may need several treatments before seeing results.

Older people with more extensive photo-aging, severe skin laxity, or very saggy skin on the neck aren’t good candidates and may need surgery.

HIFU isn’t recommended for people with infections and open skin lesions at the target area, severe or cystic acne, and metallic implants in the treatment area.

Do Teeth Whitening Pens Really Work?

skinccj

April 20, 2022

When applying teeth whitening pens to your teeth, the bleaching gel works to break down enamel and lighten the teeth. Research from American Dental Association has shown that ingredients in teeth whitening pens do work and you can have a whiter smile in just a few days after using the product. Teeth whitening pens contain bleaching gels that usually consists of carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide.

What are teeth whitening pens?

Teeth whitening pens are the latest over-the-counter bleaching system. It uses the same types of peroxide compounds as other at-home teeth whitening systems. With a pen, the process is much simpler, easier to use that fits into consumers busy schedules. A teeth whitening pen is convenient because of its size, portability, only takes seconds to apply and works on your teeth almost instantly.

Ingredients of teeth whitening pens

The ingredients of teeth whitening pens usually contain a low-concentration of whitening agents and are far less effective than high-professional and more expensive in-office dental whitening. The bleaching agent used is either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. The high-concentration gel contains 10-30 percent hydrogen peroxide, while low-concentration contains less than 10 percent.

How to use teeth whitening pens

Remove cap.
Twist back end of pen until gel comes out.
Rub on teeth in circular motion. Be sure to get near the gum line and between each tooth.
Dry with your hands for 15 seconds. No need to rinse.

Using a teeth whitening pen involves applying it to the teeth for few hours a day for a period of 5 to 14 days. Results can vary, depending on the original shade of your teeth. If your teeth are stained or very yellow, it will take longer for bleach to work on your teeth. Some people are achieving whiter teeth in a few days and others seeing very little results.

Side effects

Side effects of whitening pens may reduce tooth enamel, which may temporarily increase tooth sensitivity and mild irritation of the soft tissues of the mouth, particularly the gums. Tooth sensitivity often occurs during early stages of the bleaching treatment. Both of these conditions usually are temporary and disappear within one to three days of stopping or completing treatment.

5 Things To Know Before Buying a Dyson Airwrap

5 Things To Know Before Buying a Dyson Airwrap

The Dyson Airwrap hair styler is a new hair tool that allows you to curl, wave, smooth, and dry your hair all in one tool.

It uses technology utilizing something called the Coanda effect to attract hair, wrap it around the barrel, drying and styling simultaneously with air rather than extreme heat.

The tool is available with different attachments to handle different styling needs. There are various brush attachments, barrels for curling and a pre-styling dryer attachment. You can choose between four styling sets, each of which includes attachments designed for a specific hair type.

No need to buy a separate hair dryer, curling tongs, and straightener, as the Dyson Airwrap will do it all. Or that’s the claim anyway. So does it really work? And is it a good choice for your hair styling needs?

Here are 5 things you need to know before getting a Dyson Airwrap.

Is the Dyson Airwrap Worth it?

Dyson Airwrap styling sets start at £449.99 so they’re certainly not a cheap option. But are they worth the price?

Well, first consider that an Airwrap replaces three separate styling tools. While it’s certainly possible to buy a budget hair dryer, straightener, and curling tongs, you could easily spend over £400 if you buy the top quality versions of each.

Styling your hair with the Airwrap is also much faster than using other styling tools and it doesn’t damage it like high-heat stylers. This means you could save money in haircuts and treatments in the long-term.

Most people who’ve bought the Dyson Airwrap say that it’s worth every penny for the salon results it gives you every time.

If you blow dry and style your hair regularly, you’ll most likely be thrilled with the Airwrap. However, if you’re a “wash and go” type of person and only style your hair for special occasions, you might just want to go with a budget styler.

What’s the difference between the Dyson Airwraps?

The Dyson Airwrap is available in four styling sets designed for different hair types.

Dyson Airwrap Complete is suitable for multiple hair types and comes with 6 attachments including soft and firm smoothing brushes, a round volumizing brush, 30mm and 40mm Airwrap barrels for curling and waving, and a pre-style dryer.

Beauty Wands: The Power In Those Magic Devices

Beauty Wands: The Power In Those Magic Devices

Magical wands are shown in many movies and give the owner a superpower. In the beauty community, devices shaped like wands have the ability to provide a variety of benefits with a compact and portable shape.

One very interesting example of this is the Solawave, a tool shaped like a wand that has many technologies. The red lights rejuvenate the skin, improving wrinkles and fine lines. It also has blue lights that will act to fight breakouts and blemishes. The microcurrent stimulates the facial muscles and deeper layers of the skin, reducing aging signs and promoting smooth and healthy skin. Finally, the facial massage that will be done while using the wand decreases the appearance of puffiness and dark circles, and warmth increases the absorption of skincare products, reducing redness and promoting a glow to the skin.

Another option is the Joanna Vargas Magic Glow Wand, which was inspired by lymphatic spa treatments, being a great item for maintaining radiant skin. For a fresh and wide-awake look, with or without concealer, this device will help reduce the appearance of puffiness, invigorating the complexion. The titanium head is also perfect for sensitive skin.

In conclusion, devices in the shape of a wand can be a good investment as they will save your money and time. Due to lack of access to authentic information, people believe that new devices don’t work. In most cases, it is just because of the technologies added and how they can promote changes without discomfort to the daily routine.
