Your cuticles protect you from bacteria and fungus, and they are essential for maintaining healthy nails. Pushing your cuticles back in a harsh way or cutting them may cause damage to your nails and can lead to infections. So instead of cutting them you can use a cuticle remover!
A cuticle remover is a product that is used to soften and gently remove dead skin cells on your cuticles, leaving them soft and looking flawless without using clippers.
To be honest: I have never used one. When I first heard of the existance of this kind of product, it rang a bell. I grabbed my tube of Veet hair removal cream and googled the ingredients of popular brands of cuticle removers, and guess what: they contain the same active ingredients :)
I decided to put it to the test!
Edit: I did a picture tutorial on my cuticle routine now, you can see it
