What causes puffy cuticles?
Puffy cuticles can be caused by several things. If the cuticle has been scraped, or there are abrasions on the cuticle and chemicals are then used, the skin could be irritated. Puffy cuticles can also be caused by an allergic reaction to products used on the nails or products in which the hands are being soaked. Your professional nail technician can best diagnose the reason for your puffy cuticles and assist with treatment. Professional application of nail products is the best prevention for skin irritation.
