Chapter V · Note 01
Why we don’t do aggressive Russian or e-file cuticle work
Cutting living skin creates openings that can get infected days later.
Cutting or heavily abrading the living skin around the nail creates tiny openings.
These openings can get infected days later, even if the tools were sterile.
We protect the skin barrier. We do not destroy it for a temporary clean look.
