DIY Cuticle Oil Recipe

Sharing is caring!

Are your nails and cuticles feeling a little unloved? Did you know that taking proper care of your cuticles can actually help you grow stronger, longer nails?

Today, we’re going to help show your cuticles some love and create a DIY cuticle oil that will moisturize and protect your nails!

What is cuticle oil good for?

Cuticle oil often contains ingredients such as vitamins, hydrating oils, and oils that protect skin. This means that it can help heal your cuticles as well as protect them from future damage. 

If you work with a lot of detergents, soaps, salt, bleach, or other chemicals that are harsh to your skin, then you might notice the skin around your nails cracking, peeling, or feeling tight.

This is a sign that you need to be giving your cuticles some extra attention!

You may also notice signs of dryness and damage if you work with your hands or have to wash your hands often.

Using cuticle oil can heal that damage as well as hydrate the skin. Massaging cuticle oil into your cuticles and nail bed can also stimulate blood flow to your nail beds to help increase nail growth!

Can you make your own cuticle oil?

We love a good DIY recipe, and cuticle oil is no exception! You can absolutely make your own cuticle oil to help heal, hydrate, and protect your nails.

Using a combination of essential oils, skin care oils, and vitamins, you can make your very own all-natural cuticle oil!
