Essential Oils for Fingernails

Essential oils for nails

Embarrassed to show your hands because your nails are a complete disaster? We’ve been there.

Dry, brittle fingernails are no funny business; but achieving strong, healthy fingernails isn’t otherworldly. Like any other body part, your nails need attention, plus they enhance your appearance and show others that you take good care of yourself.

One you’ve nailed (no pun intended) a balanced diet, it’s time to add some moisturizing to strengthen your nails in a natural way. That’s where the essential oils make their entrance.

Best essential oils to use for Fingernails

#1 Lavender

#2 Frankincense

#3 Lemon

#4 Myrrh

#5 Rose hip

They are all meant to heal and restore dry, damaged or fragile nails. Combine your essential oil with a carrier oil (avocado, coconut, jojoba). These carrier oils help to soften and moisturize the nails and cuticles so they enhance the effects of the oils.

Normally, you only need to add one drop of essential oil to about 2 tablespoons of carrier oil.
