Whether you want to admit it or not, winter is coming and if you’re anything like us, your skin is already feeling it — especially your hands. The dry air, combined with nonstop handwashing, takes its toll, ravaging cuticles and leaving them split and peeling. Not cute, and definitely not comfortable either. We are constantly on the hunt for softening hand lotions or creams, and if we’re too late and our cuticles start to crack, that leads us on a whole different (and less luxurious) search for a bandaid. Luckily, we found the antidote for our dry cuticle woes — 17 of them, in fact.
We’ve rounded up the most effective cuticle conditioners to get your fingertips back into a double-tapping (maybe even Instagram manicure modeling?) shape. Below, we have picks that are Best of Beauty Award-winning creams and cuticle serums from Olive & June and CND to options for every budget from retailers like Amazon, Ulta Beauty, and Sephora. These solutions will help you get your cuticles back in working order — and they may even compel you to try some DIY nail art. Either way, hangnails, and dry fingertips will be a thing of the past.
