💅 DIY Nail Strengthening Oil ✨
Benefits:
💪 Fortifies Nails: A powerful blend of oils nourishes and strengthens weak, brittle nails, preventing breakage.
💧 Hydrates Cuticles: Keeps the skin around your nails soft and moisturized, reducing painful hangnails.
🌱 Promotes Growth: Healthy, hydrated nails are less prone to chipping and peeling, allowing them to grow longer.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon coconut oil (or olive oil)
1 teaspoon Vitamin E oil (from a capsule)
5 drops of lemon essential oil (optional)
Instructions:
In a small, clean glass bottle or container, combine the coconut oil, Vitamin E oil, and lemon essential oil (if using).
Secure the lid and shake well to mix all the ingredients.
To apply, use a clean fingertip or a small brush to dab a small amount onto each nail.
Gently massage the oil into your nails and cuticles until absorbed.
Tips:
Store the oil in a cool, dark place to maintain its potency.
For a deep treatment, apply the oil before bed and wear cotton gloves overnight.
Apply this oil daily for the best results, especially after washing your hands.

Tackle body odour with a chemical exfoliant

The exfoliating face toners you have in your skincare routine (and hopefully only use once or twice a week to prevent over-exfoliation) can be used in your underarms to tackle body odour. Give it a quick swipe to break up oil and dead skin cells.

That said, YouTube’s favourite dermatologist Andrea Suarez does caution that overuse of strong acids in the underarm area can cause sensitivity and disrupt the pH of the region. Acids can get trapped in the folds of the skin. So if you are using a chemical exfoliant for your underarms, you’ll want to keep it at a low percentage or use a gentler exfoliating ingredient like mandelic or lactic acid, rather than a strong glycolic acid.
