Hey just an FYI:
Cuticle REMOVER is a combination of Sodium Hydroxide (breaks down keratin in higher doses ie: CUTICLE), Aloe leaf juice (penetrates skin for moisture), and Butylene Glycol(a humectant:retains moisture in skin). It is not meant to be LEFT ON, but RINSED off after cuticles are gently pushed back- apply in drops on each cuticle area, then use your pusher to smooth it around and push dead tissue back off of the nail plate. Then you can either have your clients wash with soap and water, or you can directly spray a soapy water combo on the nail and wipe off with a hands down pad. BUT YOU MUST WASH IT OFF! Water deactivates the Sodium Hydroxide, leaving it on will be detrimental to the rest of your service- including manicures, pedicures, enhancements, etc. After you have washed it off your clients hands, use a curette to remove any remaining dead tissue from the nail plate- my nippers have "taken a vacation" since I started doing this, and cuticle growth has slowed WAAAAY down from not being damaged, even accidentally.
Cuticle ERASER is NOT to be washed off!! I am saying this because there has been confusion in the past about this! People have assumed that it was similar as other removers and had to be washed off after application- DONT WASH IT OFF! Eraser is an AHA MICRO-EXFOLIATOR and Cuticle cream TREATMENT. Its a PREVENTATIVE treatment for cuticles and hangnails, and it also conditions the skin. Use it with SOLAR OIL as a kind of "cocktail" for your cuticles- think of Eraser as the shampoo, and solar oil as the conditioner- LET IT SOAK IN!! I use it and then coat my hands with solar butter to kind of "seal" it all in. This is an EXCELLENT retail item, I have actually handed it to my clients that needed it in the past and just told them they had to buy it before they left their appt. lol. And they did! And they love it after they come back in 2-3 weeks later- it isnt an overnight difference- its gradual. You can't make hair healthy in one treatment, same thing with the skin on your hands!
ANother tip totally off topic- when you finish your rebalance/new set, etc, do this same trick with REJUVENATOR and solar oil- it can help heal up any of those minor nicks that occur when filing, pushing, etc. FOr really damamged hands, send them home with some
