This natural moisturizing nail oil is perfect for those with dry or brittle nails, or any nail type. This oil will help prevent discoloration on the nails, brittle and split nails, and will give you generally healthier nails. I suggest using this oil treatment 2-3 times per week for the best results.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 5 Tablespoons of Sweet Almond Oil
  • 15 Drops of Chamomile Oil
  • 15 Drops of Lavender Oil
  • 1/4 Teaspoon of Vitamin E Oil
  1. Step 1

    Pour the sweet almond oil into a small mixing bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Slowly pour in the chamomile oil, lavender oil and vitamin E oil. As you pour them in, whisk the oils together gently in the bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the mixture into a small bottle with a lid, or a glass jar with a lid. Store the mixture in a cool dark place, such as a cabinet. The mixture will stay fresh for a few weeks.

  4. Step 4

    To use the mixture, put the bottle or jar into a hot water bath for a few minutes to warm up the oil. Shake the contents for a few seconds, then use a Qtip to massage the oil into your nails and cuticles. Allow the mixture to soak in, and don't rinse the oil off. I suggest doing it at night, you can put on gloves or socks if you prefer.
