You’re probably already aware that olive oil is good for your skin. But do you ever get annoyed by your dirty nails? Or frustrated by the cracks, yellowing, or brittleness? Well, olive oil and garlic are your best friends. We’ve got some tips to help with that. Your nail care routine will never be the same after today.
Olive oil to the rescue!
Yes, the health benefits of olive oil have already been previously discussed, and they apply here too. Pour extra virgin olive oil into a small bowl (not too much, your nails aren’t that big) and dip your fingers in for a minute. Then dip a cotton pad in the oil and apply it to your nails. Let it sit for twenty minutes and wash your hands with neutral soap. Do this three times a week and trust us, you won’t believe the results! Goodbye brittle nails; hello strong, shiny nails!
How do I protect my nails?
Garlic! Did you know that garlic was once widely consumed by sick people? Doctors recommended it for its antibacterial properties. And they were absolutely right. Garlic destroys bacteria, thereby protecting your nails from fungi and other harmful substances.
Cut a garlic clove in half and rub it on your nails (sounds silly, but just do it). Don’t forget to treat your cuticles and the sides of your nails as well. Then wash your hands with antibacterial soap so you won’t have to worry about a garlic smell lingering. Voilà! Healthy, clean fingers.
The golden combo: olive oil and garlic
Yes, now you know why olive oil and garlic are such a great team. Here are a few more tips: make sure you have Greek olive oil of the highest quality with the most polyphenols, antioxidants, and unsaturated fats. You can recognize the best olive oil by this method, and it’s important to have organic olive oil.
Now, let us give you the first step toward ultimate nail care (and of course for the rest of your skin): buy your olive oil from our olive oil store. Bonus tip: the 5-liter olive oil can is the best value for your money!
