I have been hearing so many things about coconut oil and it's many benefits that I decided to do some research and give it a shot.
Some of the benefits of coconut oil include: healthy hair, skin care, stress relief, maintaining cholesterol levels, weight loss, increased immunity, proper digestion and metabolism and on and on. It seems too good to be true. How can one product provide so many things?
The benefits can be attributed to the presence of lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid. These acids are known for their antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifungal, and antibacterial abilities. The human body converts lauric acid into monolaurin which is claimed to help dealing with viruses and bacterias.
Is that all? An oil that is good for you inside and out. Sign me up!
I bought a certified organic coconut oil. What is surprising is that it is a solid at room temperature. I took some of it out and heated it up gently and put it into a glass dropper bottle to keep in the bathroom.
I decided to use it for all the beauty benefits and see what happens. I started using it as my nightime moisturizer and my skin looks amazing! I use it as my eye makeup remover and not only does it remove makeup gently and easily but it has the added benefit of soft healthy eye lashes. I mixed it with sugar to make a body scrub for the shower and it made my skin is super soft, better and cheaper than any scrub I have used. I put it on my hair all day then shampoo'd it out for the best hair treatment I have ever used. I also used a small dot on dried hair to make it shiny and smooth. It also makes a great lip moisturizer and cuticle soother.
All that and I used it to make my eggs in the morning!
It's incredible that this one product can do so much. The best part is that I don't have to check the back of the package to see if it contains phthalates, SLS, triclosan, or parabens.
It seems to good to be true, but I am loving it.
Till next blog...
