A cuticle pusher is a small 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, cuticle pushers help maintain the health and appearance of nails by preventing hangnails and promoting clean nail beds. Using a cuticle pusher is a common practice in manicures and pedicures. It is often used alongside other tools, such as nail clippers and nail files, to achieve well-groomed nails. Proper use of a cuticle pusher can enhance the overall look of the nails and improve their growth.
