Hangnails are small strips of torn skin near the nails, usually on the sides or corners. They can be painful and may become infected if not properly taken care of. Moisturizing, keeping nails trimmed, and avoiding biting or picking at them can help prevent hangnails.

Why is a hangnail called a stepmother's blessing?

Softening the cuticle helps to make it more pliable and easier to push back or remove during a manicure, which can promote healthy nail growth and reduce the risk of hangnails or ingrown nails. It also creates a smoother nail surface for applying polish or treatments.
When should alcohol hand gel not be used?
If your hands are visibly soiled (blood, feces, dirt, etc.) they should be washed with soap and water. I've also come to realize that if you have any sores on your hands it's best to not use alcohol rub because it hurts! I have really dry cuticles and get hangnails all the time and it's very uncomfortable.
