Get rid of hangnails

Hangnails can be very unsightly and can become painful if left untreated. Hangnails also increase the risk of infection through exposed, broken skin. You can help yourself prevent hangnails by doing these two things: wear gloves when cleaning at home with harsh cleaners and apply cuticle oil at least once daily. Dishwashing liquid and other household cleaners are designed to cut through grease, which also strip natural oils from your skin and can lead to excess dryness. Applying cuticle oil is a better treatment than using lotion alone because the oils quickly penetrate the skin. If you can only apply cuticle oil once daily, the best time is before bedtime. Consistent use of cuticle oil and rubber gloves during housekeeping will help to alleviate dry cuticles. For more information, read here
