With the dry winter temperatures, most of us have pretty dry and ragged hands and cuticles. This simple DIY recipe can help!
Ingredients:
1/4 C. shea butter
2 Tbsp. coconut oil
1 Tbsp. jojoba oil
1 Tbsp. Vitamin E oil (or substitute more jojoba oil)
20 drops Lavender oil
20 drops Tea Tree Oil
Instructions:
Heat all ingredients except for the essential oils and vitamin E over the stove over medium-high heat. You can also use the microwave in a glass container. Once the mixture has melted, stir thoroughly and mix in essential oils and vitamin E oil if using.
Let the mixture cool. It will become more solid as it cools down. You can use it as is or else whip the mixture with a handheld mixer until it becomes fluffy. Store in a sealed jar and apply liberally to the cuticles and nails before bed every night!
