Do you cut/push back your own cuticles?

The one and only time I got it done, more fingers were covered in bandaids than not, and I never went back.
Now, I want to try it on my own.
What do I need to know?
What tools/utensils do I need?
I want a 'for Dummies' type of instructions and/or tutorials.

I don't suggest cutting your cuticles altogether. I've heard too many stories of it leading to infections. Besides, if the "professionals" made a mess of it last time, why would you want to put yourself through that again? I dont want to see

Thanks for that input. I'd still like to try it.
If I do it by myself, I can go slowly and more gently. Maybe do 2 a day or even divide each finger over 2 days.

I do. But you have to be careful and know what you're doing. Watch some vidoes and get familiar with it. Buy a cuticle nipper with a small jaw.

Thank you. What utensils do you use?
And what videos do you recommend?

I use a special cuticle cutter

Something like this.

Cuticle Nipper with Cuticle Pusher-Professional Grade Stainless Steel Cuticle Remover & Cutter-Durable Manicure and Pedicure Tool-Beauty Tool Perfect for Fingernails and Toenails (Quarter Jaw) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078.....05PP8

I don't have the long piece. Just the first one. And I only do it on hanging cuticles.

I use Revlon half jaw nippers and the Revlon pusher.
This video is pretty detailed.

Cutting cuticles makes them grow back quicker and bigger. It’s recommended not to cut them, just to push them back.
