Cuticles & Surrounding Skin

The Nails Clean Pro directions include the skin between the toes, not just the nail. Here's why that skin matters and how to keep it in good shape.

Why the surrounding skin matters

The cuticle seals the gap where the nail meets the skin, and the skin between the toes is one of the warmest, dampest places on the body. When that skin is cracked, soggy or irritated, the nail area as a whole is harder to keep clean and comfortable.

Where Nails Clean Pro fits

The published directions are to spray onto the nail and between the toes, twice daily, on clean and dry skin. The formula includes vitamin E and plant oils, which are common in skin-conditioning products. Because the formula contains essential oils such as tea tree (and, in some materials, clove and camphor), test it on a small area first, and never apply it to broken or irritated skin.

Stop using it and get advice if you notice redness, burning, itching or swelling. Itchy, peeling skin between the toes can have its own causes, such as athlete's foot, and may need its own treatment.

Habits that help

  • Dry between the toes with a separate towel. A hair dryer on a cool setting works too.
  • Don't cut cuticles. Push them back gently after a shower instead.
  • Choose moisture-wicking socks, and change them during the day if they get damp.
  • Wear sandals in communal showers and changing rooms.
