Do not cut cuticles: they act as natural barriers to bacteria and fungus, thus cutting them can lead to infections that can harm the nail bed.
Apply a nail hardener regularly to strengthen the nails.
Rub in a moisturiser, such as hand lotion into the cuticles and fingernails to keep them moisturised.

The matrix: this is the root of the nail. The matrix continuously makes new cells to replace the old cells. When a nail rises above the skin, it is already dead, the reason it does not hurt to trim.
