Anyone know of a good cuticle cream. I need to heal some bitten cuticles and then try to keep my cuticles looking healthy.

Avon advanced mira-cuticle.

It was always my recommendation to all my clients to use a good Cuticle OIL rather than a cream or lotion. Creams and lotions only treat the surface skin, whereas a good quality cuticle oil will penetrate the surface layer to condition, moisturize and heal the skin. Try Solar Oil availalbe at fine nail salons or Ulta cosmetic outlets nationwide, or Botanical Oil available in the nail department of Sally Beauty Supply nationwide. Apply to cuticles and massage into the skin and nails at LEAST twice daily. You will see a HUGE difference within 2 weeks.

Bert's Bee's Lemon Cuticle Cream. Everyone I know uses it and loves it. But Marti's plan sounds good too.

Marti's idea is excellent, although my favorite hand product is Sally Hansen's Radiant Hands, Nails, & Cuticles Creme. I feel strange buying it, since I'm male, but oh well. It softens hands, smoothes cuticles, and strengthens nails, all in one nice orange package. It smells like orange tic-tacs too, if you like those. The only negative to it? Doesn't absorb very quickly, so I leave greasy splotches on my mouse wristrest. It wipes right off, so it really isn't a bad thing.
