waking up early is essential for my selfcare too honestly. I feel best when I can do all the chores i struggle with (due to adhd) like eating proper meals, shower, do dishes in peace with lots of time to get distracted without feeling bad or stressed about it. I know it sounds counter intuitive that the biggest part of selfcare is chores but for me that is taking literal care of my physical self… which i struggle with a lot.. which makes me feel better mentally in the end since i can see these small accomplishments and feel good about them.

I also have ADHD. I know getting up and doing things like this (small chores, too) would be so helpful for me, but I struggle SO much with getting out of bed. I just don’t want to do it even though I know getting up, turning my alarm off and not getting up and snoozing it and going back to bed, and not looking at my phone in bed would be so beneficial. I just … haven’t figured it out just yet.

For anyone interested in cuticle remover, that one Kelli showed, Sally Hansen, is the most benign remover on the market as far as I know. I use it almost every single time I do a new manicure, upwards of a minute because it's so tame. All it does is remove cuticle, (the dead skin that comes out underneath the nail fold), it doesn't remove the nail fold or damage it. It doesn't burn. Nor does it really help you push the nail fold back. It doesn't give you a russian manicure. It wasn't presented here in a very good light but it's loads better than scraping at the nail roughly to remove the extra dead skin and it's very safe.

I agree, I don't find it very harsh and haven't had any issues from using it - for example if my polish was on for a while and I wasn't pushing the cuticles back (I'm not sure about everyone else but I find this difficult to do when my polish is holding strong).

Hard agree. Shes just peddling over priced uncessary items. Sure if you have the money blow it but why when you font need all that.

My most recent discovery for my cutical health is using Vaseline before removing my polish. I read and do skincare daily, and those are my most consistent things. Ido my makeup and paint my nails multiple times a week too. I think of those more as creative expression, but I think that's also how I care for me.

Jojoba oil is said to be the closest to our skin's natural oils so I think that's the big reason why cuticle oils that are predominantly jojoba oil (first ingredient) absorb so nicely. I haven't tried everything out there and I know there are some that are highly recommended, but my favourite cuticle oil is the one I make myself with mostly jojoba oil, a little argan oil (when I have some on hand), and some vitamin e, and I often add just a couple drops of rosemary essential oil cause I love the smell and it's supposed to be good for nails. Super easy to make and customize and a small bottle of jojoba oil will last a long time making your own cuticle oil.

I put on cuticle oil, without massaging it in, before I remove my polish. It works as a "buffer" between my nails and the remover. My nails are much happier now.

I just started caring for my hands and nails in January, I'm 66 and I have to say my hands look better now then they did 20 years ago. I like Cuticle Buddy oil, I have one attached to my purse and on the table next to my recliner. Orly has a great Cuticle Therapy Cream it's in a 2 oz jar, I've had it at lease 6-8 months use it daily it's still 1/3 full, a little goes a long way. Great video, I need this type to remind me to do self care. Thank you Kelli. by the way I am up to about 300 polishes and I blame you for this hobby/obsession's. 😀

I bought those nail files a few years ago when you recommended them and love them. A key practice that has helped me is keeping a file, a hand lotion and a cuticle product at each place at home and at work where I spend the most time (plus my purse). This way they are always at the ready. I love the idea of keeping a lotion at each sink. Have been working to make rubber gloves a habit for dishes and cleaning.

Mary Mary: You don't even have to push the proximal nail fold back. Dermatologists will often say one of the top three things they would NEVER do is remove or push back cuticles. What we have been "taught" are cuticles is actually wrong. Look up "What’s New in Nail Anatomy?" By Doug Schoon, April 15, 2019. The cuticle is the adhesive that holds our proximal nail fold which is living skin (what we all THINK is the cuticle) to our nail bed in order to protect our fingers from bacteria, viruses, contaminants from entering our bodies and causing infection. They are there for a reason. When you push back your proximal nail fold, you are causing trauma to living tissue which causes it to become inflamed and forces it to try to grow back which often it is harder skin because it's been traumatized. It is *completely unnecessary* to push back the proximal nail fold. It's a waste of time, money, and is damaging to that living tissue.

Now that I’ve been into Polish pickup for a few months I’m starting to narrow down which ones are my favorites and for the cuticle cream, I LOVE the Cuter Cuticles Barrier Butter. It’s sort of an oil but it’s solid and a tiny bit goes a long way. And the hand cream from Paradox Polish is amazing. Thick and rich but soaks in quickly. I have it in a pineapple scent and it’s just 🤤.

Barrel Butter is my favorite, I’ve gone through so many!

I actually love using face products on my hands, as long as they’re affordable, or if I end up not liking to use them on my face but don’t want to toss them. Natural Moisturizing Factors from The Ordinary is my current favorite hand cream, and it’s about $8 for 3.3oz. I’m also using up a moisturizing toner and a peptide serum on my hands, and they make more of a difference than anything else I’ve ever put on my hands! I feel like actual hand and body moisturizers help with trans-epidermal water loss, but they don’t really hydrate very well or add moisture if that makes sense. But even if the skin on my hands does well with face products, my nails themselves definitely have different needs. Thanks for sharing your winter routine!

Kelli you should try Udderly Smooth!!! The hand cream saved my cracked hands during the winter time and it is unlike anything I’ve ever used on my hands before. It doesn’t smell amazing but I think the lack of added fragrance is great. It absorbs super quickly and doesn’t feel super greasy but it’s not a thin, watery cream either. I don’t need to keep applying it every few hours either which is awesome! It’s also pretty inexpensive which is surprising.

As someone with very dry skin, I always put cerave healing ointment and cotton gloves on my hands when I go to sleep. It's very helpful to prevent dryness. You wet your hands, put on cerave healing ointment while hands are wet, then put on cotton gloves. You can also use vanicream or aquaphor heaing ointment. I buy a big bottle of jojoba oil and then put some in a dropper bottle to use as cuticle oil. It works better at nourishing my cuticles/nails than other cuticle oils I've bought. I agree about moisturizing your hands and cuticles often, especially right after washing your hands. Also wearing gloves when doing dishes or cleaning is important for keeping your hands moisturized.

I also always put aquaphor healing ointment around my cuticles before removing my nail polish. It keeps the polish from staining your skin, and it helps prevent dryness of cuticles. I use aquaphor for this because it's cheaper than cerave, but I prefer the ingredients in cerave for using on my hands at night.

I agree 100%, Julia R. Wearing gloves when doing dishes or cleaning is a big one. Also when gardening. I constantly have to remind myself to wear gloves when digging in the dirt. It's terrible for you hands and nails.

@@juliar332 If you ever find that Cerave alone isn't cutting it, you could also try putting on Cerave and then putting Aquaphor on top. I know this is more expensive, but I get eczema and it helps. The Cerave has ingredients that sink into your skin, and then the Aquaphor (or just pure Vaseline, though I prefer Aquaphor) acts as a barrier to keep those ingredients and your body's natural oils in your skin.

Thanks for putting this together, Kelly! I like to use the GoldBond diabetic healing lotion as my once a day application. And, I have the BIG bottle of the Cuccio! ❤️👍🏻💅🏻

Oh thank you so much!!

Mary Kay's "extr emollient night cream for hands", aka "orange goo". Nurses LOVE this!

Another plus for the Zoya remover: it smells really good! My husband hates the smell most of nail polish/remover/etc. but he has never complained about Zoya.

Just stumbled on ur channel...love it Love all things mani/pedi...I subscribed

Awesome. Added a few products to my cart

Great timing, was just looking up cuticle oils to replenish my stash around the house as the weather cools off. Everywhere I look (desk, night stand, purse, bathroom drawer) my oil pens are empty!

Thank you for sharing this, Kelli! I have a Gemanicure glass file that is a little stick like an orangewood stick. I use it to file up my sidewalls, cuz I have CRAZY raggedy sidewalls. I use a Holo Taco regular glass file and will NEVER go back to sandpaper. I use the cuticle remover when I do my weekly full manicure, using a metal pusher to collect the dead skin (GENTLY!). I do it every time because my cuticles are about as raggedy as my sidewalls...I am just 'blessed' with a lot of finger skin I guess. I agree that one should be very careful when using cuticle remover, but some of us have to use it more regularly. I was denting the heck out of my nail plates trying to push back the more tenacious cuticles, and the remover allows me to stay nice and gentle on the nails. I really want to try the Zoya remover. I plan to order some next time I order polish from them. Question to everyone out there--do you use a dedicated dehydrator product, or just isopropyl alcohol? I use iso to dehydrate and seem to get good results, but I wonder if it would be worth trying a dehydrator. Like, what's different about dehydrator vs. iso?

Hi! I have tried both but don't notice a big difference, most dehydrator products just have a nice scent added to the main ingredient, which is alcohol. I hope that helps :)

marycarnival: The reason your cuticles have extra "finger skin" is *because* you push (your cuticles) back". Dermatologists will often say one of the top three things they would NEVER do is remove or push back cuticles. What we have been "taught" are cuticles is actually wrong. Look up "What’s New in Nail Anatomy?" By Doug Schoon, April 15, 2019. The cuticle is the adhesive that holds our proximal nail fold which is living skin (what we all THINK is the cuticle) to our nail bed in order to protect our fingers from bacteria, viruses, contaminants from entering our bodies and causing infection. They are there for a reason. When you push back your proximal nail fold, you are causing trauma to living tissue which causes it to become inflamed and forces it to try to grow back which often it is harder skin because it's been traumatized. It is completely unnecessary to push back the proximal nail fold. It's a waste of time, money, and is damaging to that living tissue. Our bodies are designed they way they are for a reason.

Thanks for the advice 👍 Love your channel

Zoya Remove+ is the only remover I'll use. There is no comparison in how well-conditioned it leaves your nails. Quick and easy removal, even with glitter. I love it so much I've gifted it to every polish-loving friend I have. It's seriously that good. LOL

I’m a huge fan of the Burt’s Bees lemon cuticle butter

Fantastic advice!! Also if you're someone like me who needs to be mindful of breakouts/acne on your face but have never had such an issue on your hands, then I definitely have different products for both areas. I sometimes use a really intensely moisturising body cream during the winter time (my fave one at the moment that's both fragrance free and has occlusives that I like is the La Roche Posay Lipikar Balm AP+ Moisturizer), and whatever is left I just rub onto my hands as well; works great. 👍

Thank you for sharing your routine! I have tried more than 10 different hand cream brands and my top favorite is the one from CeraVe, affordable and it keeps my nails and hands moisturised for 24 hours, even after being in contact with water for an extended amount of time (I recommend to wear gloves for doing dishes and intense house cleaning) :)

Oh my gosh yes gloves with cleaning/dishes is a must! And I'll have to try CeraVe, I've heard great things about the brand in general.

The absolute best cuticle product in my opinion is Qtica. It's a very dense balm and you need the tiniest amount. I've just thrown the very end of my first jar away, and I've had that for at least fifteen years, if not twenty. I don't use it everyday, but I know that when I'm having problems with dryness, that's the one I go for. I also use it over cold sores to help them heal (a tiny bit on a cotton bud, no double dipping).
