Get That Youthful Skin With Coconut Oil
September 3, 2008
While, there are so many benefits to be derived from the coconut, not many know how to make the best use of it. What many don’t know is that coconuts are commercially produced in two different ways. One, coconut oil can be extracted from dried coconut or from fresh coconut. While, ordinary coconut oil is derived from the former, virgin coconut oil that is light and penetrates skin and hair easily, making for an excellent base oil for lotions, creams, lip balms, etc. is derived from the latter.
Coconut Pulp For A Youthful Look
To give your skin that youthful look, drain the coconut of its water and shred the flesh into pulp. Use the pulp for a cooling and oil reducing face mask, making sure to apply the pulp to the entire face. Cover the eyes with cucumbers and remove the pulp, rinse after 20 – 30 minutes. The skin on your face will look freshly scrubbed and youthful.
Coconut Cream
Coconut cream is a popular beauty preparation. Use it on the hair and skin in the same way as coconut oil. An excellent treatment for dry skin, it also helps moisturise and nourish brittle nails.
Pre-Bath Massage
A pre-bath massage of the whole body with coconut oil keeps the skin soft, young and supple for years. After bath, just pat yourself dry; don’t rub the skin vigorously with your bath towel, allow your skin to retain a bit of the moisturising effect of the oil.
After Bath Moisturiser
Coconut oil can works as an excellent skin moisturiser if applied immediately after a shower. Sitting on top of the skin, it locks in the moisture, acting as a water sealant. People suffering from skin problems like Keratosis Pilaris, Xerosis and Psoriasis can alleviate the problems of dry, rough, scaly and itchy skin by moisturising regularly with pure coconut oil after their bath.
Who needs expensive lotions and potions, simply unleash the magic of coconut on your skin!
