Coconut Has Medicinal Properties

Thanks to coconut oil and when mixed with other ingredients offered by nature, our face and bodies glow. Regular use of coconut oil for face or on the skin makes the texture soft and smooth, to touch and feel. You will become a believer now, when you start using coconut oil or coconut facial masks. Clean your face with coconut oil, and we recommend the same because-

  • Coconut has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties that can fight eczema and acne
  • The pH level of the skin isn’t altered when coconut oil is used
  • Antioxidants galore found in coconut, which helps beat the onslaught of free radicals
  • Hydrates and moisturizes the skin
  • Oil production of the skin is slowed down, since coconut oil plays a tricky game making the skin believe it has excess of it
  • Works on dry, combination and oily skin
  • Can be mixed and used with other oils- lavender, tea tree, jojoba and castor

Make Your Own Coconut Milk Moisturizer

Instead of buying commercially available coconut milk moisturizers from the market, making them the DIY way at home would be the best thing to do. Should you have dry skin, which seems stretchy and tight no matter what you do and apply- this is especially for women who live in climes too cold around the nation- coconut milk moisturizes and hydrates the skin.

DIY Moisturiser Method: Grate a whole coconut and scoop out the milk. To this add a dash of honey and a few drops of any essential oil of your choice. Mix them well and apply all over your face and neck. Allow the face pack to rest for half an hour, and then wash off with cold water. Pat your face dry and notice how the stretchy feeling vanishes in no time.
