Scrub-a-Dub-Dub If you're pushing your cuticles back daily and using remover weekly, consider a more intensive sloughing session as a monthly or bi-monthly treatment. Wen likes using a Clarisonic brush paired with a charcoal-based soap to help completely remove any leftover dead skin, on both nails and hands. Try the Clarisonic Mia 2, $169 and Yes To Tomatoes Activated Charcoal Bar Soap, $2.99.
