  intro: "Cuticle oil is the one nail step most people skip and the one that makes the most visible difference. Dry skin at the nail base cracks, flakes, and creates the ragged edge that no polish can hide. The fix is not expensive and not complicated — it is consistent. Oil applied once a day, massaged in for thirty seconds, changes the skin's condition at the cuticle edge within two weeks. The mistake people make is choosing a product that sits on the surface rather than absorbs, applying it without massage, or doing it so infrequently that the skin can't hold moisture between applications. This page covers which oils absorb into the skin versus which stay topical, how to sequence the routine so it becomes automatic, and the massage technique that moves product into the matrix fold rather than just coating the surface.",

    h: "What a cuticle oil routine actually is",
    body: "A cuticle oil routine is a daily application of a penetrating oil to the skin at the nail base — the cuticle edge and the surrounding dry skin. It is not nail plate treatment. The oil targets the soft skin around the nail, keeping it supple so it does not crack, lift, or form hangnails. A complete routine takes under a minute: apply, massage, wipe the excess. Done daily, the results are visible within ten to fourteen days. The skin stops flaking. The edge looks clean. Overgrowth slows because well-hydrated skin does not harden and creep forward.",

  myths: [
    { m: "Any oil works the same.",
      t: "Oils vary significantly in molecular size. Jojoba and squalane absorb into skin. Coconut oil sits on the surface without penetrating the cuticle fold. Absorption matters for actual conditioning." },
    { m: "More oil means faster results.",
      t: "Excess product without massage just coats the surface and transfers onto everything you touch. A small amount worked in with finger pressure reaches the matrix fold. Volume is irrelevant." },
    { m: "You only need oil when your cuticles look bad.",
      t: "Reactive application treats the symptom. Daily maintenance prevents the cracking and dryness from forming. Twice-weekly is the minimum threshold to keep skin conditioned between applications." },
