If you saw my post
on DIY cuticle oil then you saw how I ran out of cuticle oil so followed a
recipe to make some more for me and a couple of small bottles to give as gifts.
Well I went through the oil that I made. So I decided to make some more DIY
cuticle products.
So first up I
looked on SheKnows and found a very simple recipe for Coconut
Lavender Cuticle Balm. All you need to do is melt some coconut oil, add some
lavender essential oil, and put in an empty lip gloss container and freeze it. Easy as!
I followed the
recipe and had enough to fill a large lip gloss gar that I got at a cheap store
and partially fill a small empty lip gloss container. I then put out a sticker
label for both of them and they are good to go.
As this is made of
mostly coconut oil it WILL MELT in hot weather but you can always put it back
in the fridge to make it solid again.
The second thing I
did was make some more cuticle oil as I apparently eat the stuff. First of all
I put a table spoon of coconut oil, a table spoon of extra vergin olive oil, a few
drops of lemon essential oil and a few drops of peppermint oil in a glass. I then
put this in direct sun light to melt the coconut oil completely and mixed it
all together.
I then realised I
had a lot of oil for my 11ml bottle so I cleaned out an empty nail polish
bottle that used to have top coat in it (see my post on empty nail polish
bottles) following the steps in the DIY forests you tube video How to Clean OutNail Polish Bottles.
Once I had dome
that I then tipped the cuticle oil into both the bottles and still had some
left! So the last of the oil went into my last 6ml empty hart shape nail polish
bottle.
I then cut out
sticker labels for all of the bottles of cuticle oil and stuck them on.

oil recipes that I drew ideas from:
So I went a bit
crazy making cuticle products this time so I should have enough to last me a
while, well see though…
I am keen to try
other cuticle cream recipes with bees wax or coco butter in future, so you can
look out for those post in future. But will use up what I made this round first
so you may have to wait a while.
