This week, I’m sharing with you my latest health AND beauty crush. I know it has been popular for a little while now but I like to wait for the hype to die down before I dish up my verdict.
Please welcome Coconut Oil to my list of favourites. Here’s why…
Beauty Wonder
Coconut Oil is the a beauty multi-tasker like no other.
I like to use it as a:
• Hair mask
Tip: apply between first and second shampoo (to avoid greasy hair), cover hair with a warm towel, leave on for 20 minutes.
• Shaving oil
• Face wash (think Eve Lom on a budget) – so nourishing you don’t even need a moisturiser afterwards!
• Make up remover – even safe for eyes
Tip: to remove eye make-up, massage coconut oil onto eyes gently, wet two cotton wool pads with warm water, gently wipe off… repeat until squeaky clean.
• Heel balm
• Cuticle balm
• Massage oil
• Body moisturiser
Super Food
Coconut Oil contains EFAs (that’s essential fatty acids - great for hair, eyes, skin and cardiovascular health), it’s also a fat that helps to burn fat, and it has the added bonus of combatting dysbiosis (overgrowth of bad bacteria in the gut) and candida, thus reducing bloating. Brilliant!
You can use it in food as a:
• Cooking oil – coconut oil can be heated to a high temperature!
• Baking oil
• Butter substitute – just spread and enjoy
• Smoothie supplement
So there you have it folks. Coconut Oil, a must in everyone’s kitchen or bathroom cupboard.
