Even wondered about nails? If not, you must now be wondering what kind of question is this. That’s just it. Nails are our body’s few of the very important parts. Without the presence of it our fingers’ soft flesh would have been exposed to the harsh weather outside and get damaged irrecoverably.

So, from now on try treating you nails with some respect, love and oils. Oils are especially needed to be applied on the dry nails, which mainly happens during the winter season; but may also happen due to other causes.

Why Apply Oils?

This is a question many might ask? And of course, we are here to answer your thirst. Well, apart from being a body part and that you should take care of it, taking care of your nails will reap you fine results. Applying the oils (moisturizing oils) will make your nails shiny, will strengthen them, (if they are brittle) may bring back their composedness, etc.

Dry nails, many a times tend to become brittle and discolored. So to avoid that and bring back the color and the shine on your nails, you got to make and apply oil treatment.

Oil Treatment For Dry Nails

First Oil To Make

To make this oil you need Olive oil and lemon. Firstly, warm the olive oil for a few minutes; remember, warm the oil and not boil. Now in this, squeeze out the juice from the lemon. While adding the lemon juice, make sure that the pan is out of the fire. Stir the solution and pour the same inside a jar (preferably made of glass).

Next Oil To Make

The next oil to make, which you can apply on your nails, includes a process not much different than the first one. First, in a bowl, pour a small amount of almond oil; then go on whisking and add to this chamomile oil, lavender oil and vitamin E oil.

Like the first oil, store this oil in a glass container and use it when it is a little, but not too much, warm. Massage the oil on the nails. The container will keep the oil in tiptop condition for weeks.

Strengthening Oil

As mentioned above, dry nails tend to get brittle. So it is advised that you make and apply this strengthening oil. Bring ½ cup of boiling water in a bowl and add in this a considerable amount of neutral henna. Mix the solution until it becomes a paste.

Let the mixture cool down for a few minutes and then apply the same on your nails with the help of a cotton swab or cotton ball. Let this dry on your nails and stay for about 10-12 minutes then wash off with cool water and then pat dry with a towel.
