Natural Nail Care

Illustration by Mathilda Aubier

We have come to the end of another working week Its time to show a bit of TLC to our hard working hands. I thought I would share these natural remedies to keep your hands and nails beautiful. 

Olive Oil

Nails need moisture in order to avoid cracks or loose skin around the edges. Few nights a week before going to bed rub olive oil between your fingers and on your nails. To maximize absorption cover your hands with cotton gloves for visibly smoother skin in the morning!

Coconut Oil

If you have hardworking hands treat them with some coconut oil! Coconuts have water retaining properties which increase moisture in the skin. Once again lather the oil onto your hands and fingertips, then cover with cotton gloves for baby smooth skin.  

Pawpaw (papaya) Ointment

Papaya is is source of Vitamin A and Papain which helps remove dead skin cells.It helps keep skin hydrated. direct application can help achieve smooth, supple skin.Simply rub around the fingers and cuticles.

Try one of these out over the weekend!
