While there’s nothing we love more than a fresh manicure, we understand that sometimes nail maintenance can fall to the wayside. The truth is, not everyone has the time (or the funds) to make frequent salon appointments — or even a little DIY session in your bathroom — a top priority. However, there are a few things you can do daily to make sure your nails are staying in tip-top shape. On the more involved side, you could try nail cycling. On the “I don’t even have time to sleep” side, how about a few swipes of cuticle oil to your nail beds once or twice a day?
Cuticle oil has plenty of benefits, and it doesn’t take too much time or commitment to see major results. Just a few drops a day can help moisturize the area around your nails as well as your nail beds. It can also aid in preventing hangnails and dry, cracked nails. All you have to do is swipe it on, rub it in, and you’re good to go.
However, with so many different options out there, it can be hard figuring out which one is right for you. Luckily, we’ve tested hundreds of products and whittled it down to our top picks. Keep scrolling to find the best cuticle oils our editors love.
