When your nails feel weak, brittle, or constantly peeling, it’s more than just an inconvenience — it’s a sign your body is asking for gentle care. Brittle nails can chip, crack, or split easily, leaving you frustrated every time you try to grow them out. They reflect your body’s overall health, hydration, and nourishment.
That’s where Brit Finds Castor Oil comes in — a natural, deeply hydrating treatment that strengthens nails and supports healthy growth. Our cold-pressed castor oil is rich in vitamin E, fatty acids, and proteins, designed to restore your nails’ resilience and shine.
What You’ll Need:
- Brit Finds Castor Oil (200ml)
- Cotton balls or swabs
- Nail file (optional)
Step-by-Step Ritual for Brittle Nail Care
Step 1: Clean and Dry Nails
Remove any polish or residue and wash your hands thoroughly. Pat nails dry.
Step 2: Apply Castor Oil
Pour a small amount of castor oil onto a cotton ball or swab.
Step 3: Coat Nails and Cuticles
Gently apply the oil to each nail and surrounding cuticle. Massage gently into the nail bed to stimulate circulation.
Step 4: Let it Absorb
Allow the oil to soak in for at least 15–20 minutes. For best results, leave it on overnight and wear cotton gloves to protect your sheets.
Step 5: Repeat Daily
Consistency is key. Repeat this ritual every night for 4–6 weeks to see stronger, healthier nails.
