Lessen your hangnails overnight
Having a hangnail is not such a bad thing. The problem is that, even though we all know picking them only makes things worse, we do it anyway. It seems like we cannot help it. What starts out as a simple rub of the loose skin, ends up feeling like we are about to peel the skin of our finger off.
Did you know you can get rid of a hangnail overnight while you sleep? Before going to bed, apply some hypoallergenic or scent-free hand cream to the affected area and wrap it with plastic wrap. If you want, you can secure it in place with a bit of tape. Using plastic wrap is great to maintain moisture and soften the cuticle.
