Are You Using Your Cuticle Clippers Correctly?

By Una Pecatti

The number one rule when it comes to cuticle clippers is to keep them as sharp as possible. It is impossible to gain good results from blunt clippers. Their job is to remove the cuticle gently without any force being applied. If their blades are sharp enough then the skin should just fall off after the blade has been closed over it. If not then they are too blunt and damage can be caused.

The Proper Procedure for Cuticle Clippers

Cuticle clippers should only be used once a cuticle knife has been used. The knife will pull the cuticle away from the nail plate, making it easier for you to cut it off with the clippers. If the cuticle was too near the nail plate then it would be difficult to close the clippers around it.

Once you have the cuticle where you need it to be, hold the clippers over the skin. Close them and then release the blade again. This should be enough to cut the cuticle off. If you find that it is still there then it is likely that your blades need sharpening.

Some suppliers offer a cuticle clipper sharpening service and it would be a good idea to look into this option. The good news is that a good quality pair of cuticle clippers will last you for a long, long time. So sending them off to be sharpened every now and again will really help you to save money in the long run. Obviously it would be a good idea to have more than one pair so that whilst one is being sent off to be sharpened, you have another paid to be working with.

Don't forget that they will also need to be cleaned regularly. All nail tools require some cleaning and cuticle clippers are no exception. You will need to wipe them with an antibacterial product straight after use and then they will need to be left in disinfectant for a set time period. Each disinfectant will be different so you should always follow the directions on the label. Keeping them clean will ensure that no infections develop and bacteria is kept to a minimum.

Overall it is very important that you use cuticle clippers correctly. Never use them to cut anything other than the cuticle unless you are using them on hangnails. Also if they are blunt then replace them if you cannot have them sharpened. You should never use clippers that are blunt as it will cause too much damage.
