I mean obviously if you are prone to this- use something like Kerasal ointment.
Kerasal (urea/salicylic acid/glicerin/vaseline) amzn.to/3dy31F7
It’s moisturising and exfoliating (and anti inflammatory)
This helps if you have a resistant piece but definitely try to prevent it
Thank you!
I kept using the nail clippers for about over a year and this problem never went away, till now! Again THANK YOU!
I'm convinced that mine and some other people that suffer from this are dealing with something autoimmune/rheumatic. There aint enough moisturizer in the world. My proximal nail fold can shed a millimeter thickness of hardened, cracking, peeling thickened skin every week.
It could be a connective tissue disorder
@Wyldwulf came to say that when I got treated for my autoimmune, this basically went away entirely!
@@SadPanda0.0 What was your diagnosis and treatment? This peeling has been persistent for years and spread from my thumbs and slowly crept finger by finger outward . I was given a steroid cream by the dermatologist. It did jack.
Following this thread I have had same issue for years as well as a few other things and just been to gp and said I suspect I have an auto immune issue. Having some blood tests on Monday.
@@WyldwulfI'd love to know too
This is so helpful! It's a bad nervous habit to start ripping and clipping and picking this skin. I always end up bleeding!
Simple solution. Thanks! Those rough areas on the fingers are so aggravating in the winter months. Almost like gently pumicing rough heels to soften
You are welcome! "Winter months" though suggests dryness. Callus like this can happen at any time, it's from pressure to the skin in that area.. :)
You are such a good teacher. We all learn so much from your clear, concise, easy to understand instructions.
Thank you Valerie for your kind words!
I have dermatillomania and often target that bit of skin on my thumbs and index fingers. It’s a habit I’m working on breaking and your nail advice has helped so much.
I wish you a successful recovery. 💜
I don’t have the same severity of condition, but I do have skin picking tendencies with my generalized anxiety disorder and my fingertips and nails get the brunt. I’m always rubbing my fingers and nails and any bit of roughness leads me to start picking (I’ve fortunately recovered from biting). I still haven’t shaken the habit of digging, picking, and peeling off chipped polish but staying on top of hand skin care really helps reduce my skin picking.
i’m having one last really good gnaw before I implement this genius self care into my routine 😂😂
Thank you so much for this and for all the information you share! I've had this issue for years and never knew exactly what to do about it. After watching your video, I gently smoothed away the little hard pieces of skin, and my nails look so much better now. Who knew it was that simple? Your videos have helped so much. Thanks again!
Your skin is perfect! Very rarely do people get hangnails and very hard skin around the nails when using kerasel + nail oil. This little trick helps smooth those corners wonderfully and make hands ready for a photoshoot!
Thanks for this video! I actually needed to know how to deal with this issue. I was nipping them off with nippers. Since I’ve been gently filing them (I like the pointy end of the glass “cuticle” pusher to really file in a targeted way) they’ve been so much better! I’m a bit hit or miss on being consistent with oil treatment but my nails look so much better since finding your channel!
Oh! Great idea; I have one of those tools already.
You can also put a little Kerasal on it since it's technically a callus. That stuff has been life changing for me.
Yes of course, I still get these tiny pieces though sometimes. Simple solution though :)
Thank you for this, I have naturally flared flat nails that point down so I ALWAYS have these! I have been filing but also using my nippers to get rid of them all but they grow back even faster (I’ll do my manicure and three days later, they are coming back!) like you say I really believe they are basically calluses, and like on the bottom of the foot, if you get rid of them completely they come back even faster. They are the bodies way of trying to protect itself from pressure. Best way is just to smooth them down now I think
Thank you so much,I have learned so much from watching your videos. I’m not afraid of doing a manicure or painting anymore and I do a pretty good job now,thanks to you.
On Easter Sunday I removed my acrylic nails because some of them seemed to be developing a fungal infection. I have been having acrylic nails for many years with no problem until I changed salons at the beginning of the year and this happened. I have decided to give up acrylics and have religiously been applying jojoba oil to my nails twice a day and then applying OPI Nail Envy Original Strengthener. On watching your videos I have learned so much. I am now commencing the weekly warm soak with jojoba, applying the Nail Envy but not including the cuticle so that I can apply the jojoba oil to them and hand cream every time I wash my hands. They are definitely improving and I’m sure with this treatment once the damaged top half of the nail grows out they will be so much better. Thank you so much for your advice.
You. Are. A. Life. Saver. This is my exact problem. The skin in that area builds up so much that I get "pads" of them that get so huge the light shines through them. They get tough no matter how much oil I use on them, or how much moisturizer I use on my hands. Then they inevitably crack and cause hangnails.
I just filed off the latest monster growth, and now the area is smooth and neat. WIll see how that affects the skin not cracking there after this.
I've actually been doing this for some time, I use the same file that I have for nail shaping, it works like a charm for smoothing the skin and it's the only thing that stops me from picking it. 💅
You mean your not supposed to naw it off with you teeth 😂
😂
😆
🤣
Good, some comic relief!
😂😂
I've been filing for years, it happened to me with age, always moisturising, no biting, never had false nails or a manicure, its just life.
It's like you read my mind! These little bits of hard skin drive me nuts!
I looked at my hands today and got frustrated at this skin as nobody else complains about it as I do. So, thank you for this video!
Yes, I have learned to do this… It works so much better than cuticle nippers. I was a cosmetologist for 25 years so I know a thing or two about nail care :-) however, I have been severely picking my cuticles since I was about four years old. The only thing that ever helped me stop, Was wearing artificial nails. Which I don’t do anymore for health reasons. So, I’m back to the severe picking. I do what I can to mitigate it, but sometimes it gets really bad. There’s not a product in this world that can make it better… I really just have to consciously pamper my hands. But get me an unconscious or nervous situation of worry or excitement, and the damage Ensues! I just subscribed to your channel hoping to have constant reminders to consciously care for my hands :-)
I just did this and WOW! Its dead skin!! I tried everything and this simple trick fixed my nails!! Thank you!!
I use #18 Callus remover spray by Allpresan to soften the cuticles first then use a fine block buffer it does a tremendous job for the client without any cuticle trimming usually! Results are Silky Smooth! I’m a multi licensed and have been doing natural nails since 1999. Have a blessed day everyone and Happy Thanksgiving & Christmas Tide to all!
Yes definitely, this is just a quick fix for between manicures when you get temptation to pick at it. Have a great Thanksgiving and Christmas too ❤️
@@TheSalonLife thank you God Bless you both abundantly! ♥️🦃♥️
Hi! I have this problem mostly around my toenails on my feet. A pumice stone is too big to use there so would I use the same protocol with my toes? The cuticle softener and the fine buffer block?
THANK you it took forever finding a good video about this! Perfectly explained in just over 2 minutes also explaining what not to do. Keep it up!❤
Thanks for this, as I literally pulled and pulled and now it’s bleeding. Ugh😢
Ohmygosh! Thank you so much. I’ve been cutting them off and dealing with the cycle of peeling nail skin.
Thank you so very much
I used to use the nippers to level out hang nails/skin and all you get in the long run was flaky skin. So now I just file it with a 180 or higher grid file, as you suggested, so much better for your skin.
I’ve done this forever, didn’t know anyone else did too 🤣 Sometimes I’ll even just use a buffing block if it’s not too bad. But because I used to be a nail bitter and cuticle picker, I have to address these types of spots properly as soon as I find them otherwise I WILL mindlessly start picking at it.
Wow thank you for this. I'm trying to break the habit of biting the skin around my nails and everytime I wash the dishes or take a shower my nail bed looks rough and corpse-like 😅
Filing them instead of using clippers really made the world of a difference
Great videos, especially for natural nail ladies. Thank you!
Thank you for this! It's so dry where I live right now so I'm constantly oiling up. I used the clipper on a dry skin area on my middle finger and I regret it because it looked red and inflamed... it's still showing some peeling. So stupid of me, but it was snagging on my clothes and I wanted instant fix. Next time I'll just file it.
I have spent years trying to figure out how to fix this issue. You are amazing like mic drop!!
Yes! This is the exact tip I give to my clients and do on myself 🙌
You at why every nail technician I have come across. Thank you so much for your advice!!!!
This is fantastic, thank you!!! I have cutting my dry bits and I will absolutely make the switch.
Thank you!! Always helpful ♥️
Great and informative. I have dry skin and these dry patches look awful. Thanks for this .
thank u for this :) ive just been picking at them for years and its always annoyed me to the points where i have to maintain my nails really short but i’ll try this and hopefully its better TwT
I apply and rub in cuticle cream or oil all around my nails-cuticles, sides and tips. And try to give myself manicures at least every couple of weeks. Also keep my nails short, they get in the way and break if too long.
Thanks so much for this tip! I was going crazy with this and didn't know what to do ❤🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing this video.i was just doing the wrong thing. I certainly will follow your good advice .
Glad it helped ☺️
This was great info as I was trimming this off but now I will file it down! Thanks 😊
Ah glad I saw this video just now, thanks! I was just on my way to cut the skin around my thumb, like I usually do
I always wondered about this
Thank you so much! This worked great for me! Now I just need to be consistent with moisture and oil application.😅
Glad it helped!
Great advise! Thank you.
You are so welcome!
i also use my cuticle bit on my nail drill for this area. works great!
Yes, totally but overall I don't recommend people who are not trained professionals to use e-files. I have seen too much serious damage even done by professionals
Great tips! I also tested out multiple oils to see what absorbed the fastest. Orly’s Cuticle Oil + right now is my absolute favorite!
The one in plastic bottle with a good dropper?
@@TheSalonLife Yes! The the one where the dropper isn't removable, just the nib on the top. I love that it absorbs really quickly, because I don't want to ruin my keypad with oily fingers!
You are basically doing what we would do to to dry cracked heels. File down the dry skin and apply moisturiser or some oils or cream.
So informative! Thank you 🙏
Such good advice, Anna!
Thank you very much for this very useful information. It was so much needed :)
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your message! Anna
Wow, I've always cut mine with the nippers and its never spread, it went away. I'm going to try this next time. I get them often. Thanks for this video.
Thank u 💓 💗 💖
Me googling after just clipping all this skin off all my nails 👁️👄👁️
Oh no!!! Well, from now on use Kerasal every night to prevent this.

what's the file's number you used please ? 80/100 or 150/180 or 230 ???
You can use 150/180 or 180/240 etc. The higher the number, the softer the file
*puts cuticle nippers down and looks for nearest file*
Yessssss, and gently! Also Kerasal to prevent it :) Kerasal (Amazon) amzn.to/3dy31F7
Thank you!!! Needed this
Great tip! Thanks 💕
I need this video so bad....thanks 🙏
Thank you for this tip! Could you possibly do a video on hang nails and how to properly deal with them?
Hi Cynthia. We have a video on hang nails actually. You can view it here ua-cam.com/video/yzp1GuVixco/v-deo.html Thanks so much! - MSL
@@TheSalonLife Thank you! :)
ughhhhh i’ve been cutting this off & make it worse/ painful. usually make it worse. thank you.
Do you think it's a good idea to put cuticle remover on the skin first before doing this?
You can and I do this during a manicure but this is just a quick fix when you are on the go and you need to smooth it so you don't pick at it :)
I needed this video! Thank you 😊 x
Thank you for watching and taking your time to comment:))
Great video tyfs!❤️
Is that considered a callous? I remember my dad going to the podiatrist and essentially doing that to his feet to get rid of all his callouses 😂 good to know it can be used for the hands as well. ❤
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Thank you!!!!!
I get these all the time at short nail lengths because of the way my fingers are shaped (nails curve right into my fingers, almost like an ingrown toenail does). So painful and uncomfortable. For this reason I avoid square-shaped nails and always start filing a rounded curve on the corner from the point my nail detaches from the finger at the sidewalls. But I wonder if that is making it worse in the longterm like it can with toenails?
Anyway, I use nippers only if there’s a piece of hard skin sticking off, then inadvertently smooth out some of the crusty part with a glass file as I round the corners, but mainly it’s that I apply cuticle cream, oil, and nailcare lotion and massage them in well. Started this solutional/maintenance routine after bingeing your videos. And when I use the nippers on hangnails near my sidewalls (which I also get frequently for the same reason), I try to only nip off the part that’s already detached. Your warning voice is in the back of my head every time. 😂
How is it I couldn’t think it this?! I have this happen to my thumbs so often, I’m both corners. I’ve been using those nippers too because I could never get that skin to soften.
Thank you for this !
Try urea based cream. Just a dab at night. It really helps!
I’ve been doing this recently. I used to cut the hard skin off and that worked out poorly.
Thanks for the video, but this thickness around the nail is deep so I don’t see know just using an emery board can get it all.
I always rip out my hang nails and cuticles
What are your tips for painting as close to the cuticle as possible? I'm pretty good at painting my own nails but that is the one thing thats the hardest for me without leaving a visible space.
Place the brush in the middle of the nail and reverse it back towards the cuticle. It allows me to get much closer to the cuticle in a neat way than trying to place the brush near the cuticle and then pulling it up the nail.
Ugh. This is what I can't get under control even with moisturizing and oil. My cuticles are in line now but this thick skin around my fingers
I have had dry, hard skin around my nail for years and I began using a coarse nail file to file down. The Kerasal is safe to use around fingernails?
I used a nail file to smooth it out but it got raw and hurt for days. What grit do you use? I know the term "grit" from sandpaper which is what my nail file is just mounted on cardboard.
I have that issue but I’m my toes , I have cut too much and now I don’t know how to fix it 😢
Im cuting it of since years and years with nippers😫 sure over 10years! and ot got soo much... its soooo hard npt to do it ... i really need to stop...
what can i do ??? when i got a lot???
Thanks for the good info! Curious if you think this could be done with an e file. Maybe best to use a hand file for precision?
Hi Anne! Yes for sure e-file too but many DIYers watch these videos and they need help too. I don’t recommend DIYers using e-files because they can cause more damage than good.
E-file used correctly actually would be more precise. You can see how I use e-file in many of my watch me work videos :)
Here is an example
I had the dip nails for several years; have been trying to grow my own for over a year. What I find is that the area around most of my nails suddenly appear with a thick hang nail (for lack of better word). The nail won’t grow at all if not removed…. I have been using oils and cuticle cream but it comes back again and again. Someone here said use Kerasal….but tHat burns the skin. Any ideas?
I need to get rid of these they’re so annoying
Mine is almost half as large as my nail. I don’t think sanding it will work…
is there any way to do it without files? i have none..
I have a huge chunk of extremely rough skin on the side of my nail. I have had it for almost 5 years now. I can file it down some, but not much without it bleeding. I'm still left with a nasty looking chunk of dried skin. The nail has also a bit lifted in that area. So do I just keep filing and applying oil or there a different approach because the skin is so hard and thick?
Could be a fungal infection, consult your primary.
Best of luck ♥
Can I use an e-file ? With the rounded bit ? Or will that make it worse ?
I don't recommend using e-file unless you are a nail technician specifically trained in using one. You can cause more damage than good.
This simple swipe and more importantly regular skin care will take care of these without the need for e-file.
@@TheSalonLife thank you for the advice ! 😊
The more you rub the more you will have to. Even with that file. It will get worse. Looks good when you first do it, but in a day or two it will be back and here you go again. Until it gets thicker and thicker. Yes it's a callus. Treat it like one.
About the oil, do you apply over nail polish?
Yes, totally! It actually benefits polish a bit too by plasticising it :)
I get this hard skin around my nails so bad, and it's started to peel open (kind of like a blister). I tried filing it down with my glass file but it didn't seem to help a lot :( wondering if metal would be better for that?
This is just to remove the little hard pieces. You have to take care of your skin. Here is a very easy routine I have
1 Min Daily Nail Care Routine [Watch the Skin Transform!]
ua-cam.com/video/bIxBNfbrzIM/v-deo.html
I do this with the file, but just stays looking cracked and comes back in a few days.
This is not to remove cracks but bit of hard skin if it drives you crazy. I highly recommend using Kerasal I mention in this must see video :)
I have to file those hard bits almost every day. I live in northern Canada and I don’t have a dishwasher AND I don’t like rubber gloves. Yeah, I kind of deserve those hard bits. sighhhhh…
I have this problem so bad. No matter what I do it won't go away
Have you tried Kerasal? A tiny dab at night, before bedtime. It has wonderful ingredients. Vaseline (occlusive), glycerine (moisturising), urea (moisturising and mild exfoliant) and salicylic acid (anti inflammatory and exfoliant)
amzn.to/3dy31F7
@@TheSalonLife I haven't but I'm ordering now! Mine get really bad, also due to my profession I'd guess. Dog groomer, my hands are in water and soap alot plus holding clippers
I always have this, so annoying
If you always have that then try using Kerasal onintment. I have a link in the description box. I only get these sometimes on the thumbs because I use them more. Try to prevent them as much as you can. :)
@@TheSalonLife thank you, I do a lot of hand washing ( nurse) and I make greeting cards too.
I actually prefer to cut these rather than file them
🐕❤❤❤
I prefer multi-use tools for eco reasons…
