What is the recommended duration for soaking fingers?

2-5 minutes
5-10 minutes
10-15 minutes
15-20 minutes

The correct answer is: 2-5 minutes

The recommended duration for soaking fingers is 2-5 minutes. Soaking your fingers for too long can actually cause the skin to become overly soft, which can leave it prone to damage or infection when nails and cuticles are trimmed or pushed back. This is why options B, C, and D are incorrect as they exceed the recommended time frame and may lead to potential damage or infection. Additionally, soaking your fingers for too long may also weaken the nails if done frequently, making them more prone to breakage or splitting. Therefore, it is important to follow the recommended duration of 2-5 minutes for optimal nail and cuticle health.
