DIY (Organic) Cuticle Oil For Strong, Healthy Nails
Do you find it impossible to grow your nails because they are too weak and end up splitting?
If so, then this DIY nail oil can help by giving you stronger nails, in days.
It's a big part of the five-step magic nail formula that will strengthen and improve the health of your nails.
This homemade cuticle oil is super cheap and easy to make. But best of all, it actually works! I massage it into my nails two or three times a day. If I miss a couple of days I always end up breaking a nail as they get brittle very quickly.
It plays a big role in the reason my nails grow long and strong because it strengthens, nourishes, conditions, and protects.
Why Homemade Is Better Than Store-Bought
Most store-bought nail and cuticle oils that are marketed to help your nails grow can contain synthetic ingredients like bad alcohols and perfume. Short term they will make your nails feel conditioned, but long term they're not going to help them.
Making your own DIY nail oil is much better for your fingernails and health.
But, if you don't have time to DIY then Simon + Tom Nails & Cuticles Oil Saviour has a pretty good ingredient list.
