While the health benefits of coconut are often documented within the
nutrition community, coconut oil is quite beneficial in promoting
healthy hair and skin.
Look at these facts:
1. Evolving into a creamy liquid when heated to 76 degrees, coconut oil
can be used as an ideal hair treatment. By simply taking a jar of
coconut oil, placing it under the warm water of your shower and allowing
it to melt, the oil becomes usable for this particular benefit.
In respect to application, you’re encouraged to apply an ample amount
of oil to wet hair after shampooing and then blend the oil into your
hair. By allowing the oil to sit for five minutes and then promptly
rinsing, it will serve to increase the moisture in your hair while also
improve natural shine.
2. If you’re looking to add a natural and fresh scent to your skin, coconut
oil, courtesy of its smooth texture, is an ideal moisturizer. Simply
apply a palm-sized amount of oil to your hands upon exiting the shower
and rub into your skin.
3. Are the traditional mass-produced lip balms no longer doing the job?
If you’re searching from something new, go the natural route and try
coconut oil.
As a do it yourself (DIY) method, try adding some coconut oil to an
unused contact lens holder complete with a screw cap. Designed for
portability, simply dab your finger on the top layer of the oil and
apply it in virtually the same fashion you would any other form of lip
protectant.
4. Life is a daily grind and our hands and nails typically pay the
price. Using coconut oil as a cuticle softener can do wonders for your
nails in terms of appearance and feel.
Utilizing the DIY lip balm creation noted in the prior beauty
benefit, swipe a small amount of coconut oil on the pad of your finger
and apply to each cuticle on the opposite hand. The oil can serve to
hydrate and strengthen your nails while helping to remove rough areas.
5. Although under eye wrinkles and sagging are common traits of the
natural aging process, coconut oil can help you fight the hands of time.
Essentially doing the same job as expensive creams and gels, coconut
oil can reduce the appearance of dark circles, rid your eyes of
puffiness, and reduce wrinkles. In respect to application, simply use a
small amount, a pinch to be exact, and apply the oil to your under-eye
area until fully absorbed.
