DIY cuticle oil with jojoba, argan & vitamin E

1. Clean and dry the 10 ml bottle or roll-on bottle completely before mixing the oils.

2. Measure out 7.5 ml of jojoba oil and pour it into the bottle as a base.

3. Add 2 ml of argan oil.

4. Then add 0.5 ml of vitamin E oil. Let it run slowly from the dropper, as vitamin E is a bit thicker than the other oils.

5. Close the bottle and roll it gently between your palms for about 20–30 seconds until the blend is evenly mixed.

6. If using a dropper bottle, check that the dropper closes properly. If using a roller, replace the roller ball firmly.

7. Note the name and production date on the bottle and store the blend in a cool, dark place.

1. Preferably use the cuticle oil on clean, dry hands. An ideal time is in the evening, when you do not need to wash your hands immediately afterwards.

2. Apply a very small drop around each cuticle. One to two small drops per hand is usually sufficient.

3. Massage the oil into the skin around each nail, including the skin along the sides of the nail, with your thumb or fingertip for about 20–30 seconds.

4. Distribute any remaining oil over the nail plate and the tops of your fingers.

5. Allow the oil to absorb for a few minutes. For an extra nourishing evening routine, you can apply hand cream afterwards.

6. Use daily or a few times per week, depending on how dry your cuticles feel.

7. It is better to use a small amount consistently than a lot of oil at once; this way, the blend absorbs faster and feels less greasy.
