Many people find that manicurists often wear off the dead skin at the root of nails with a small hammer before manicure, so that nails look smooth and clean. In fact, there is no need to exfoliate the nail roots at all.
The dead skin we see is not really dead skin, but nail skin, which is the normal anatomical structure of skin. Nail skin can seal the gap between deck (nail) and nail fold (finger skin) and protect nail dead angle. Removing nail skin will damage nail matrix (where nails grow), resulting in uneven or even missing deck. If the nail skin is cut off as dead skin, it will not only damage the deck, but also stimulate the nail matrix, causing bacterial infection, leading to nail malnutrition, paronychia and other problems, so seek the help of dermatologists.
In addition to nail skin, some people have barbs on the edge of their nails. These barbs are often accompanied by pain, which is not exactly the same as dead skin. Most hand barbs are related to long-term local friction of hand skin, or to local skin dryness, such as frequent contact with water when doing housework, children's love of eating fingers, biting fingernails and so on. If you find barbs, don't tear them in a hurry. Violent tearing will not only damage the surrounding normal skin and cause pain, but also cause bleeding and infection in severe cases. The easiest way is to cut off the barbs with scissors, and then apply hand cream to keep the skin of your hands moist. You can wear a pair of gloves to do housework in your life.
