If there was a high school superlative for "Best Smell," this Lauren B Beauty Reparative Cuticle Oil Treatment ($22) sure would win. Its blend of ylang-ylang, avocado, and almond oil is so sweet, you just might try dabbing it on your pulse points as perfume.
L'Occitane Shea Nail and Cuticle Oil

Deborah Lippmann Cuticle Oil
If dryness is your problem, reach for this Deborah Lippmann Cuticle Oil ($20). It's moisturizing but nonsticky, so you can shake someone's hand after applying without having them think you just ate a greasy slice of pizza.

Eir Tough Love Cuticle Balm
My eternal question: where was this Eir Tough Love Cuticle Balm ($12) when I was at 6th grade Summer camp? It works wonders to treat nails and hands ravaged by classic activities such as canoeing, kayaking, and sailing.
Trilogy Everything Balm
This Trilogy Everything Balm ($20) is aptly named — I've swiped it over my lips, elbows, knees, and, yes, cuticles. It's pretty heavy-duty, so save it for truly tragic hangnails.

The Rose Oil ($26) is as high-tech as they come. Its precise rollerball applicator ensures that you won't waste extra oil, so this little tube has a long life. As the name implies, it contains rose oil, which reduces redness.
