Essential Oil cuticle treatment
What you’ll need:
- 1 Tbsp Jojoba Oil (the only oil molecule small enough to penetrate the nail plate.)
- 1 Tbsp Avocado Oil
- 10 Drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil (fungus fighter)
- 10 Drops of Lavender Essential Oil (anti-inflammatory and healing)
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.
How long should I leave cuticle treatment on?
Apply cuticle oil before bedtime and leave it on overnight so it can fully absorb into the cuticles.
