We reveal the secret of how to make homemade nail oil

Having beautiful nails is now easy: a chic manicure can be obtained in a couple of hours or even faster - using acrylic or gel. If the master is good, such nails can be difficult to distinguish from natural, and many women enjoy using this. Salons claim that the method is safe, but most women note a deterioration in their own nails after removing acrylic or gel. It turns out a "vicious circle": we mask our nails just because of brittleness, delamination and unsightly appearance, but we make it even worse.

Well, walk with a gel all my life? This may seem acceptable to some, but unhealthy nails are not just a cosmetic problem. Malfunctions in the body's work are primarily visible on the skin, nails and hair, so it is worthwhile to improve health in general (and treatment by specialists, if necessary), and to look after the nails in other ways that are really safe and useful.

The use of essential oils for nails is one of such methods: simple, affordable and effective - however, a little patience will be required. Purchased products and home treatments with essential oils strengthen and whiten nails, help them grow normally and save them from exfoliation.

Application features

Is it possible to use essential oils for nails in their pure form? There are different recommendations, but each type of oil must be specified separately. Some rubbed undiluted - so the action is stronger, but more often, especially highly concentrated esters - are used as part of mixtures, masks, baths, compresses, etc.

For example, a mixture of ether and a base (fatty oil), heated to a comfortable temperature, is moistened with a small cotton towel, applied to your nails and wrapped around your fingertips, on top is a film and a thick towel. Hold for 15-20 minutes.

Applications with essential oils for nails are also effective and easy to make at home. They are often made with bergamot oil that perfectly strengthens the nail plate: 5 drops of ether per 5 ml of base. Wash hands cleanly, steam, rub the mixture into nails, cuticle and skin, wrap with a film for 5 minutes. Wash with warm water without soap, get wet.

Dissolve essential oils before applying to the nails, not only in any fatty oil, but also in glycerin, wax, honey, and hand cream. Some of the fatty oils are considered the most effective in strengthening mixtures: more often - burdock, almond, flaxseed, coconut, cocoa, wheat germ, jojoba; milk thistle, sea buckthorn, hemp, cedar, watermelon, palm, etc. are also suitable.

The best oils for strengthening nails

And now let's talk about what specific essential oils are used to strengthen nails at home.

If the nails are fragile and weak, they will both flake and break: here it is rare without the other. It is difficult to list all effective essential oils for strengthening nails at home.

So, against the stratification and brittleness of nails, in combination with base oils, the essential oils of rosemary, petitgrain, rose, myrrh, lemon and orange, basil, sage work perfectly.

To strengthen the nails, essential oils of chamomile, myrtle, lavender, cypress and pine, kayaput, ylang-ylang are also used. The latter is classified as permitted for use in its pure form: rub 1-2 drops per day into the nail plates, and the nails will stop peeling and breaking, it will be easier to perceive polishing and other manicure manipulations. The same essential oil contributes to the thickening of too thin and weak nails.

Myrrh oil is considered one of the best essential oils for strengthening nails at home: it heals, nourishes, heals, revitalizes the cuticle. Prepare the composition: 1 tbsp. pharmacy oil vitamin E 5 drops of esters of myrrh, frankincense and lemon. Rub into the cuticle and nails at night, every other day.


Lemon oil is also rubbed into the cuticle and clean nails daily to strengthen it. And 2-3 times a week, you can use it in a mixture of separation, with myrrh and red pepper ether, 3 drops each, dissolving them in fine sea salt (1 tsp). The ether-salt mixture is rubbed into the nails 3-4 minutes before bedtime.

Other essential oils for nails with which you need to regularly make baths, applications, masks: bergamot, eucalyptus, tea tree. The latter is called universal and also rubbed in its pure form.

And here is a useful strengthening bath for nails with essential oils: almond oil (1 tbsp), esters of bergamot, ylang-ylang and grapefruit (3 drops each). It is better to do 10-15 minute baths at night; if during the day, you’ll have to spend a couple of hours wearing cotton gloves.

An excellent home-strengthening oil cream with essential oils for nails, eliminating brittleness and layering, is obtained with wax and essential oils of coconut, sesame and argan. One type of fatty oil is enough, but it is better to take all three equally, to get 10 ml. The oils are mixed with melted wax, myrrh and bergamot oil (5 drops each), as well as sandalwood and rose esters (3 and 2 each) are added. Keep in a glass container, in the dark and cool. It is advisable to use it for half a month: rub it into your fingertips every evening.

Ethers for bleaching and clarification

If the nails changed color to unhealthy, spots and streaks appeared on them, it is necessary to seriously examine specialists: everything is possible, from anemia to diseases that are life-threatening.

But in women, the nails often turn yellow also due to the use of decorative varnishes of different colors and qualities, and essential oils at home will also help whiten (lighten) them.

The best esters are “clarifiers” for nails: lemon, grapefruit, lime, chamomile, jasmine, marjoram, parsley, rosemary, citronella (lemongrass), ylang-ylang, geranium.

If essential oils are not recommended in their pure form, it is better to mix them with olive, castor, camphor, jojoba, macadamia, 10 drops of any ether per 20 ml of fatty oil. However, if you need "ambulance nails", any vegetable oil is suitable. Rubbing the mixture twice a day, you can return the yellowed plates to their normal color in a week.

Here are a couple of recipes for using essential oils for whitening nails.

  • Mix ylang-ylang essential oil (5 drops) with juice of 1⁄2 lemon and 1⁄2 tsp. jojoba oil. Keep the mixture in the refrigerator, rub it into your nails preferably three times a day.
  • Lemon juice (2-3 drops) is mixed with cedar and ylang-ylang ethers (2 drops each), rubbed into nails 2-3 times a day.

Many essential oils are universal: they strengthen, and bleach, and accelerate nail growth. So in this case: rosemary and grapefruit, sandalwood and myrrh, chamomile, bergamot, tea tree - in general, almost all the oils that have already been mentioned. In addition to them, essential oils of fir, mandarin, rose, thuja, coriander, cinnamon, ginger, verbena, bey, calamus, vetiver are effective for nail growth. The most effective combinations are obtained with the base oils of yarrow, rice, burdock, almond, avocado, watermelon, jojoba, etc.

  • For the growth of nails at home, make baths with rosemary oil and sea salt 25-30 days, twice a week. On a glass of warm water - 1 tsp. sea salt and 3 drops of ether (first dissolved in salt). Keep your fingertips for 15-20 minutes.
