Make your own homemade Cuticle Cream

Here is a recipe to make a cream that will soften cuticles and which helps to prevent hangnails.

To make 15 treatments

• 3 tablespoons melted wax
• 4fl oz/115ml mineral oil
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon glycerine

In a double boiler, slowly heat the wax with the mineral and coconut oils until blended. Stir in the glycerine, remove from the heat and leave to cool.

To use, apply directly to the cuticles with cotton balls, or soak your fingertips in the cream for about 5 minutes. Store in the refrigerator, where it will thicken.
