Winter can be magical with its frosty mornings and cozy evenings, but for many of us, it’s also the season of dry, cracking hands. Between the cold air outside and the dry heat indoors, my hands often feel like they’ve been through a sandstorm. That’s why I decided to take matters into my own hands (pun intended!) and create a DIY cuticle cream featuring dōterra’s Myrrh Essential Oil.

Why Myrrh Oil?

Myrrh oil has a warm, earthy aroma that feels both grounding and luxurious. It’s a favorite of mine for skincare because of its nourishing properties. When paired with natural ingredients, it’s the perfect addition to a winter skincare routine.

The DIY Cuticle Cream Recipe

This simple recipe uses just a few ingredients, making it easy to whip up a batch in no time. Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

· 2 tablespoons shea butter

· 1 tablespoon coconut oil

· 1 tablespoon beeswax pellets

· 5 drops dōterra Myrrh Essential Oil

· 3 drops dōterra Lavender Essential Oil (optional for added relaxation)

Instructions:

1. In a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl over simmering water, melt the shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax pellets together. Stir occasionally until fully combined.

2. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for about 2 minutes.

3. Add the Myrrh Essential Oil and Lavender Essential Oil (if using), stirring well to ensure the oils are evenly distributed.

4. Pour the mixture into a small, clean jar or tin. Allow it to cool and solidify completely before using.

How to Use

Massage a small amount of the cream onto your cuticles and hands before bed or anytime they feel particularly dry. The rich texture of the cream provides a protective barrier, while the oils leave your skin feeling soft and pampered.

Why I Love This Cream

This DIY cuticle cream has become a staple in my winter skincare routine. Not only does it help my hands feel more comfortable, but the process of making it is like a little act of self-care. The

aroma of myrrh and lavender is calming, and knowing I’m using natural ingredients gives me peace of mind.
