A healthy body is reflected in healthy nails. However, just like our skin and hair, our nails also require nutrition. Regular nail trimming and cleaning are helpful, but it’s also important to give the nails some extra nutrition to keep them smooth and attractive-looking. Women who enjoy having long nails should take extra precautions because they often have brittle nails.
Homemade cuticle oil has been found to be very beneficial for the wellbeing of your nails. Typically, essential oils, carrier oils, and other ingredients are used to make homemade cuticle oil. It must be applied to your nails in the same manner as nail polish.
