How long should cuticles be? Will jojoba oil help?
I'm getting married soon, and in the OCD quest to look *perfect* on that day, I've been looking into improving what I can. I don't even know what "nice" cuticles look like. I get a hangnail here and there, so I'm guessing mine aren't in top shape. They're about 1-1.5 mm long at the base of the nail without being pushed back, and they aren't hanging off or anything at the base of the nail. I don't moisturize my hands unless the skin starts to feel stiff, which is rare. I was thinking since I have a huge bottle of jojoba oil, can I just rub that into my cuticles for 10 minutes twice a week to improve my hands and cuticles and prevent any damage? I'm about a month and a half out from the wedding, never paint my nails or wear fake nails. In fact, I'm pretty happy with my nails: they grow well, barely ever break since I stopped painting them years ago. They chip sometimes, but I can't complain since the most I do for them is trim and take a multivitamin. Oh yeah, and I think I've had 2 manicures my whole life because I can't stand to have my cuticles trimmed. It makes my hands look 1000 times worse with all the peeling!
