A cuticle pusher is a small, handheld tool used in nail care to gently push back the cuticles, which are the thin layers of skin at the base of the nails. Typically made from materials like stainless steel, plastic, or wood, it helps maintain the health and appearance of the nails by preventing hangnails and promoting clean nail beds.
Using a cuticle pusher is an essential part of a manicure, often performed before applying nail polish or other treatments. Proper use can enhance the overall look of the nails and is commonly included in nail care kits alongside other tools like nail clippers and files.
