Nails and essential oils: what precautions?
First of all, never apply an essential oil to your skin or to your nails without first diluting it. Extremely concentrated in active ingredients, essential oils can be particularly aggressive for the skin. You will therefore have to dilute the essential oil of your choice with a neutral base, such as vegetable oil or floral water, respecting the recommended doses.
In addition, the application of an essential oil on your nails just before a manicure can affect its good performance. This is why you will also have to make sure to space out your essential oil-based treatments and your nail beauty treatments.
