After you have coated an area of your skin with shea butter, spend some time making sure that the shea butter works its way down under the surface of your skin. Move your fingers in a circular motion as you apply the shea butter. Causes of Split or Torn Cuticles The purpose of cuticles is to form a barrier at your nail line to keep infections out. When your hands become dry, your cuticles are often the first indicator. Because cuticles need to be elastic in order to form a tight seal with your nails, as soon as they become dry, they become hard and soon after that the cuticles begin to split or tear. The root of the split or torn cuticles cproblem is that your skin does not have adequate moisture retention capacity. Caring for Split or Torn Cuticles
The remedy is to treat the skin with substances that enhance its moisture-retention capabilities. Using a simple moisturizer has some beneficial effect, but not enough. When a moisturizer is applied, it hydrates the cells, but the cells quickly lose the moisture. If substances that work synergistically together to restore the cuticles cells' elasticity are applied to the hands, then as the healing progresses, the cells continue to admit moisture as before, but after the healing are better able to keep it from escaping. Thus the cells regain their elasticity and the cuticles no longer split or tear. Shea butter is a wonderful agent for revitalizing our cuticles so that they regain their moisture retention capacity. Unrefined shea butter not only contains a high moisturizing fraction, but also contains an extraordinarily high healing fraction. To enhance the shea butter's ability to speed the healing of splitting or torn cuticles, we have infused it with 1essential oil: jasmine.
