Daily Aha! w/ Dr. Oz

Daily Aha!
Hangnails aren't nails—they’re skin.
A nick in the soft skin immediately around the cuticle (that semi-translucent curve of skin that hugs your nail) quickly dries out, becoming a hard protrusion that we all know as a hangnail. Fingers have tons of nerve endings, which is what makes hangnails so exquisitely painful. To prevent them, keep your skin moisturized so it stays supple and more resistant to cuts and tears.
