DIY Cuticle oil

How many of you know about cuticle oil? Well, well even I came to know during my trip to Hawaii ,when I was shopping gifts to family. The ingredients of this oil makes a perfect DIY project.
Cuticles are a tiny, funny little bit of the body ignored and abused between hand washing and all other mean things that happens to our hands. If the cuticles are not well moisturized, they're more prone to splitting or breaking leaving finger beds vulnerable to injury. It just takes a minute to prepare the oil if you have right ingredients.
Ingredients:
  • Lavender infused jojoba oil
  • Vitamin E oil
  • Lavender EO
  • Frankincense EO
  • Gernaium Rose EO
Steps:
  • Clean out an used nail polish bottle or you can use roller pens
  • Fill the bottle with the above ingredients one by one.
  • Gently shake the contents to blend well.
For 10 drops of carrier oil, use 2 drops of Vitamin E and 1 drop of EO. You can add some real flowers. I got the real flowers from a local craft store.
I prefer Jojoba oil as it mimics skin's natural sebum and absorbs quickly. Argan oil/grapeseed oil/almond oil are other options.
It can be applied during bed time or just apply during work. Shake it well before each application. With regular use I noticed an overall improvement of my cuticles. This is another essential in my purse along with the lip balm. Cuticle oil can be used for brittle nails as well. Do not apply nail polish after applying cuticle oil. Will share cuticle cream in my next post.

DIY alkanet lip balm

Image
Here is another variation of lip balm prepared predominantly from alkanet root infused sweet almond oil. Alkanet root is primarily used as a natural dyeing agent which gives red Ruby to pink color based on the amount used. I infused 1 tbsp of alkanet root in 1/4 th cup of sweet almond oil for 4-6 weeks in a cool dark place occasionally shaking. Directions to make the lip balm: Step 1: Melt 1 tbsp of Shea butter,1 tbsp of bees wax, 2 tbsps of alkanet infused sweet almond oil, 1 tbsp of olive oil in a heaf proof canning jar over a medium- low heat using double boiler method. Step 2: Add few drops of vitamin E oil and essential oils after removing from the pan. I used rose absolute. Give the mixture few stirs and pour into the lip balm tubes. Once cooled cap the tubes. Voila, lip balm is ready with the pinkish tint. Alkanet root can be purchased from the below URL, rest of the other ingredients can be found in the same website or Amazon. https://www.mountainroseherbs....
