How to make Essential Oil cuticle treatment 

  • Pour the jojoba and avocado oils into a small, dark-colored glass bottle to help preserve the oil.
  • Add tea tree and lavender essential oils, screw on the cap, and shake to combine.
  • Before using the cuticle oil, shake the bottle well, then massage a few drops into your nails and cuticles daily to soften your cuticles and prevent them from splitting.
Apply cuticle oil before bedtime and leave it on overnight so it can fully absorb into the cuticles.
 
Note: We do not recommend the casual ingesting of essential oils. It can cause irritation and possible damage to your organs. Please do not ingest essential oils unless under the supervision of a medical doctor versed in pharmaceutics and an experienced aromatherapist.
