The main wealth of man is health. You can buy yourself luxurious jewelry or clothes from fashion designers, but people will definitely pay attention to the poor condition of hair and skin. Very often you can hear that men in the opposite sex appreciate primarily grooming.
The ability to maintain natural beauty is a great art, which does not always require serious expenses. On women's portals you can find many useful recipes using essential oils. We will share small secrets and answer the main question: how to make hand oil with your own hands.
Whether in the trend
Ten years ago, at the peak of popularity were artificial nails. Girls and women who previously could not boast of good manicure were the first clients of beauty salons. Few people thought then that cutting off the nail plate then would necessarily affect its condition. After building up, the nails became thin and brittle, and it was necessary to spend several times more on their treatment. Fortunately, a few years later the trend changed direction, and health is in fashion today.
No chemistry!
How much are you willing to pay for well-groomed pens? Today, cosmetics manufacturers compete for every customer. Creams and lotions, cuticle care products, wax to strengthen the nail plate - through trial and error, we have to pave our way to beauty. But is cosmetics really able to enhance health? After reading the composition of the varnish for exfoliating nails, you will not find a single natural component. A successful formula will really make your nails look more attractive, but inside they will also remain brittle. That is why many girls and women prefer to make hand cream and butter for their hands.
Types of oils
Essential oils are a storehouse of vitamins that will help to cope with almost any problems. To restore the structure and strengthen the nail plate, tea tree, lemon, myrrh, eucalyptus, rosemary, bergamot and sandalwood are useful. Basic cosmetic oils are almond, avocado and apricot kernel oil. The universal oil for hand skin is rose, lavender, ylang-ylang, grapefruit, fennel, neroli, lemon, cypress and mandarin.
Pleasant chores
The process of personal care should be continuous. To see the result, you need to work every day. An excellent tool for relaxation and health are the baths for hands. Add a few drops of oil to the herbal broth (temperature not higher than 40 degrees).
After completing the procedure, proceed to the next step. For about 10-15 minutes, rub a mixture of cosmetic oils into the nail plate and cuticle, into which you can add essential oil.
With your own hands, preparing such an effective tool is quite simple. Combine rosehip oil and avocado with a few drops of ylang-ylang oil or sweet orange - these two components will help get rid of delamination and brittleness. After two weeks of continuous use, you will notice the result.
Nourishing masks
For home care, the necessary ingredients are definitely found in the kitchen. For example, olive oil has magical properties. For hands it is very useful. The easiest way to use it is as follows. Lubricate the skin with oil and put on special gloves (they are sold in cosmetic boutiques, there may be an extra layer of gel inside), and then go to bed. In the morning, the skin on your hands will be incredibly soft and delicate.
In addition, you can make special masks. This is especially true in winter, when the hands dry, and in the absence of care, painful cracks appear. Brew strong tea and add 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese, lemon zest and olive oil. For hands and nails, this procedure will be especially useful if you stand it for 20 minutes and rinse with warm water.
Oatmeal is another product of incredible properties not only for internal but also for external use. Warm up 2 tablespoons of olive oil a little and mix with 1 tablespoon of oatmeal. Put the mixture on your hands and wrap it in plastic bags. After 15-20 minutes, gently cleanse the skin without using water.
Exotic
At home, you can even make coconut oil for hands with your own hands. Beauticians speak unanimously about the incredible properties of coconut, but how do you get this valuable product? You can bring coconut oil from exotic countries or cook it yourself. We will focus on the second option.
Buy coconut and separate the pulp from the shell, and then chop it with a blender. Turn the shavings into a saucepan and pour hot water so that it covers the surface by about five centimeters. Leave to cool at room temperature for two hours, and refrigerate at night. By morning, oil forms on top of coconut. Melt it in a water bath in any container, strain and transfer to a more convenient storage container - coconut cream butter for your hands is ready.
By the way, shavings can be used not only for culinary purposes. With this product, it is easy to prepare a gentle scrub.
Homemade cream
Make a cosmetic product, such as cream or hand oil, with your own hands under the strength of each of us. Essential Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon of liquid honey;
- 50 grams of butter;
- 2 tablespoons of a strong decoction of chamomile or sage;
- 2 teaspoons of base oil.
The mixture must be melted in a water bath and add two drops of essential oils of geranium and ylang-ylang. Then whip the future cream until it cools completely and transfer to a small jar.
Alternative to Japanese manicure
Recently, Japanese manicure is popular, because with it you can restore the health of nails. Special equipment and tools allow you to fill microcracks and bumps on the plate. As a result, you get a manicure that prevents peeling and gives shine to the nails. The cost of such a procedure is above the average level - from 1000 rubles.
But do not rush to call the beauty salon. Nail wax works on the same principle. Many cosmetic brands offer this product, but again the chemical composition is confusing. It is much more efficient and economical to prepare wax to strengthen nails at home.
Wax recipe
The basis of our miracle remedy will be beeswax, which has a huge amount of useful properties. Melt a small piece in a water bath and make sure that it does not begin to boil. In another container, pour the base oil, for example olive. It should be twice as much as beeswax. Add 7-8 drops of lemon essential oil, and then pour into the bowl with wax. Quickly mix with an orange stick and fill the pre-prepared jar with the finished mixture. The wax freezes almost before our eyes, but just in case, put it in the refrigerator for ten minutes.
Before going to bed or more often rub the wax into the nail plate. Such a tool is consumed very economically, and the result does not make you wait long. Within a month, the nails cease to exfoliate. However, you are unlikely to be able to quickly give up wax because of its luxurious aroma reminiscent of lemon sorbet.
