Homemade Cuticle Oils

Make your own cuticle oil by combining non-mineral with essential oils.
For aroma therapy, a carrier oil is combined with essential oil for aroma and nutrition of the skin.
In case of cuticles, massage oils are combined with essential oils. The essential oils are chosen for their antiseptic and anti-fungal properties to help with possible Nail Fungus. Most common essential oil chosen is Tea-tree oil.
Sweet Almond oil is excellent cuticle oil by itself. If nail-fungus is suspected, modify it as follows:
1. Sweet Almond oil: 6 Tablespoons
2. Tea-tree oil: 1½ teaspoon
3. Lavender oil: 1½ teaspoon
Combine all the three ingredients and store in an opaque plastic or dark glass bottle
