Solar Oil

Let’s take a look at CND Solar oil…..



I totally love all nail products…I am like a kid in a sweet shop if I ever see a nail products display in a shop. I could recommend so many....but if I was told I could only have ONE nail product I would instantly choose solar oil. Forget polishes and glitters (even though I love them!) My nails cannot survive without Solar oil. If I didn’t use it, within two weeks my nails would all be broken and peeling.

Any CND trained nail technician will tell you about the benefits of this miracle in a bottle. Not only is it great for your nails, but it has numerous other uses too…I thought I’d let you know how this miraculous oil works.

Nails need moisture in the form of oil and water…and it is the balance between the two that ensures nail health. Too little water and the nail will be hard and brittle. Too much and the nails become weak and soft.

Have you ever done the washing up or got out of the bath and your nails look like they are flaking? Your nails are made of layers and they are very porous, so they absorb water very easily. The water gets between the nail layers and pushes them apart, causing layers to peel away and the nail will then be weaker. Solar oil acts as a nail lubricant and protects the chains of keratin within the nail by filling the tiny voids and channels within the nail and pushing out excess water.

Any moisturizing product is good, and many people think that any oil will do for nails, but it is vitally important to recognize and understand the type of moisturizing product you are using and what you are using it for. Some oil products cannot penetrate the skin. Baby oil is a very good example of this. This is a mineral oil and its molecules are too large to pass into the skin. Mineral oil does help moisturize skin because it forms a barrier by sitting on the surface and sealing water inside the skin, preventing it from evaporating from the surface. However, while a mineral oil has its very good uses, it can’t penetrate the nail plate, and so this kind of moisturization isn’t what your nails need. You might be thinking that just any oil will do the job, but a non-penetrating oil will not provide nearly as much benefit as the quick-penetrating oil blends in SolarOil.

Let’s look at Shellac use first – 

Solar Oil contains Jojoba oil, Sweet Almond oil and Vitamin E oil and is designed to deeply penetrate through Shellac to the nail plate and protect skin and nails. If you are wearing Shellac, you should know that it is very porous and absorbs the oil very easily. This is important, not only for nail health, but also for the longevity of the polish. Solar oil will prolong the wearability of your Shellac. One of the common causes of a client’s service breakdown is excessive dehydration of the nail and because the oil penetrates through the Shellac to the nail plate, you can prevent this dehydration happening by using Solar oil at least twice a day. Over time Shellac continues to harden and the oil will absorb into the shellac making it more flexible and therefore less likely to chip. With the oil absorption reaching the nail plate it also helps with effective removal of the shellac, ensuring that there is no damage to the nail, It also means your nails maintain the right water/oil balance so they remain strong and healthy.

And if you don’t wear Shellac?

The use of Solar Oil isn’t only important on nail enhancements, it is just as important to use it on your natural nails too. I have clients who don’t wear Shellac, but I still advise they use Solar oil…and on the occasions I am not wearing Shellac I still apply Solar oil twice a day at least. The oil penetration through the layers of the nail allows your natural nails to be flexible, hydrated and nourished, keeping your nails protected and prevent brittle nails which can lead to peeling and breaking. Jojoba oil also carries Vitamin E deeply into skin to help reduce visible signs of ageing. These naturally light oils don’t just work wonders on the nail – they also keep skin soft and supple, allowing your nails to not only look good, but feel good too. It's super quick and efficient - a 15 ml bottle will last for ages because you only need a small amount massaged into each nail and surrounding skin. By massaging the oil in to the skin and nails, it will also increase the circulation to the fingers and nails therefore encouraging growth.

What else does it do?

Solar oil can also be used in other ways. It's great with any dry skin. Put a couple of drops on the back of hands to use like hand cream. It's great on elbows or any other places where you may find your skin is dry, including lips. It is often used to help psoriasis and eczema and other skin conditions. Solar Oil is sometimes used in burn units in hospitals as it helps heal burns quicker. Many people use it on small burns, blisters on heels from new shoes, or to heal insect bites faster. Apparently it can be used to fade scars and stretchmarks and it can be used to tame frizzy hair!

What’s not to love about this product? Now you might understand why this would be my one and only product if I had to choose just one. Why not try it for yourself?
