Nail Oil Treatment

DIY Manicure Nail Oil

Fingernails, like hair, contains a protein called keratin. They can benefit from the use of aromatherapy oils to keep them healthy, elastic and looking lovely with a low sheen. The appearance and condition of your finger nails is a great health indicator. White moons and a pale pink coloring is a sign of good circulation and metabolism. Ridges, flakiness and spots may indicate a health issue such as a lack of calcium in the diet. *Be sure to see your doctor if you have any health concerns.

Finger nails provide one of the first impressions someone has of you. Broken, chipped, un-filed nails can be common for me at times, especially following a seasonal change in the vegetable garden as this is usually when I am tidying up from the previous season and adding new plants. Gardening can be tough on the hands. A little while ago I created a gardeners hand scrub to help get give gardeners hands a little TLC, this nail oil is also a great way to give your nails and cuticles a little bit of care. I have been using this lovely rich oil to rub into my hands once a day also.

The skin on my hands is looking more and more aged as my hands work HARD all the time, in the garden, in the kitchen, with the kids. Mine certainly deserve more love and attention on a regular basis. I regularly also make this handcream to combat the dryness.

This nail oil treatment is very quick and simple to prepare so grab a cup of tea, a nail file, scissors and cuticle wand and get started.
