Cuticles are pieces of skin that are present in between the skin and the nails and protect anything outside from getting under the nail matrix. Things like bacteria, water and anything gross can lead to infection settling in and you using the cuticle cutter too much, you remove the protective layering of the nails. This can invite infections and other hazards to your nails. Never cut your cuticles ever.
