This is day one of my hang nail experiment to test whether Argan oil prevents hang nails better than olive oil. I coated my left hand finger tips with Argan oil while soaking my right hand in a bowl of EVOO. Even I can smell the olive stench despite my lingering sinus congestion. Yum.
I really don't know how long I'm supposed to bathe in oil. I probably should have asked the sales lady when I bought the Argan. I figure five minutes oughta do it. And hopefully washing away the oil with soap and water won't eliminate any benefit my skin may have just had from soaking in oil. But I really can't go out smelling like my Italian great grandmother's kitchen all day. It is what it is. Let's see if I notice a difference tomorrow...
(Day 2)
Softer cuticles on both hands, but there's not a noticable difference between the right and left. More later...
(Day 3)
Hang nail forming on right thumb. Is it because I use it so much it dries out quicker or does EVOO not hold up in comparison to Argan? Time will tell.
