Cuticle Saver Treatment

If you do housework, garden, bite your nails, knit, cook, or work in any

profession in which you need to wash your hands constantly, you

probably know what unhappy cuticles feel like. Soothe, condition, and

repair them with this luxurious botanical treatment serum.

YIELDS: 1 ounce

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons herbal-infused oil or jojoba oil

1 teaspoon grapeseed oil, unscented

16 drops tea tree essential oil

12 drops lemon essential oil

12 drops lavender essential oil

1 vitamin E capsule

What you will need: dark- colored 1-ounce bottle with a dropper top,

small funnel

1. To Make: Place the funnel over your bottle and add the oils. Pierce the

vitamin E capsule and squeeze it out into the bottle, discarding the gel cap.

Add the essential oils and shake to blend.

2. To Store: Label with contents and expiration date of 6 months. Store out of

direct sunlight.

3. To Use: Use daily for improved nail and cuticle health. Apply a few drops

before bedtime, massaging the serum into your fingernails, the surrounding

cuticle skin, and your hands. Using this serum before bed allows the serum

to work its magic throughout the night while you are sleeping. For a deeply

healing, moisturizing treatment, massage a generous amount of the Cuticle

Saver Treatment into the cuticle and fingernails. Leave on for 10–30

minutes, allowing the serum to work its botanical magic. This blend

absorbs very quickly, so there probably won’t be any excess, but if there is,

wipe off with a clean dry cloth. This deep treatment works best on

unpolished fingernails.
