5. How to Use the Soak for Best Results
Before soaking, remove nail polish and wash your hands thoroughly.
Steps:
- Soak your fingertips in the mixture for 10–15 minutes.
- Make sure your nails and cuticles are fully covered.
- After soaking, gently massage the mixture into your nails and surrounding skin for about one minute.
- Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
- Finish with a moisturizing hand cream or cuticle oil.
6. How Often to Use It
For noticeable improvement:
- Use the soak once or twice a week for maintenance.
- For very dry or damaged nails, use it up to three times weekly until the nails improve.
Consistency is important, and results usually become noticeable after a few weeks.
7. Optional Additions for Extra Nail Care
If your nails are especially brittle or damaged, you can enhance the mixture with:
- A few drops of vitamin E oil for extra nourishment
- A few drops of tea tree oil for antifungal support
- 1 teaspoon of coconut oil for deeper moisture
