Why corner lifters matter
Corner lifters are used to push back the cuticle gently and to clean the area around the nails hygienically. They come in different shapes and suit specific care needs.
Types of corner lifters
Straight corner lifter
Ideal for removing dead skin around the nail. A straight corner lifter has a flat edge and works well for carefully removing dirt or dead skin around the nail.
Double-ended corner lifter
Has two working ends for pushing and cleaning. This type of corner lifter has two differently shaped ends that can be used in many ways, both for pushing back the cuticle and for removing dead skin
Curved corner lifter
With a curved edge for precise cleaning of the nail edge. A curved corner lifter has a slightly curved edge, which makes it easier to clean the nail edge and push back the cuticle.
Tips for use
- Gentle handling: Do not apply too much pressure, so the skin is not irritated.
- Preparation: Soak the nails in warm water beforehand.
- Correct direction: Always push the cuticle towards the nail bed.
- Hygiene: Disinfect the corner lifter before and after use.
- Aftercare: Apply a moisturising care product to the cuticle.
Conclusion
Corner lifters are essential tools for nail care and help keep your nails and cuticles neat and well groomed. Used and cared for correctly, a corner lifter becomes a fixed part of your nail routine and contributes to healthier, better-looking nails
