Nourishing Cuticle Oil DIY
Hello everyone,
Finally winters are here and it is that time of the year when our skin needs that extra nourishment to keep itself hydrated. I am always in the search of skin care products that are not loaded with chemicals so most of the times I end up diy’ing most of my skin care products. Seriously, I have been hooked to homemade skincare products, they cost fraction of the amount and the best part is that you actually knows what is going onto your skin. I personally feel that you can make most of your skin care and hair care products at home and these days I am addicted to Diy’s. I keep scrolling through Pinterest all day searching for different diy’s, then I mix and match recipes, add in some of my favourite ingredients and I am ready with my version of the diy.
In winters the skin around my fingers dry out and often crack. Dry and peeling cuticles not only look bad but can also be painful. Cuticle is the very soft layer of the skin just above your nails. This delicate skin sits right on top of the nail’s growth matrix. As it is very delicate, in winters it can become easily dehydrated, flaky and peel off. So a few days back I made my DIY Cuticle Oil and have been totally loving it, it has repaired the skin around my nails and my cuticles feel hydrated in this chilly and drying weather.
Nourishing DIY Cuticle Oil is so simple to make and is a blessing for someone like me who has extra dry cuticles in the winter months. I store it in a roller bottle for easy application and it’s easy to carry around. The oils used to make this cuticle oil are natural, nourishing and will soothe dry cuticle skin. I personally feel that ever since I have been using this cuticle oil it has also helped to strengthen my nails. I use it 2 times a day, for best results, you can apply it before bedtime and let your cuticles soak in the goodness of the moisturizing oils overnight. This Cuticle oil is 100% natural so it can be used on kids too.
