Coconut Oil - one product that does so much!

Why i love this product?

                                                                                                                                    Where do i start with this product, well i discovered this about 2-3 years ago, it was before all the coconut hype started and my friend told me about it. I suffer from eczema on my arms and i get flare ups with a lot of products. I read up before buying and claims to be good for eczema/fungal skin conditions as it has natural anti-fungal properties in it. 

My experience with this product-  I loved this straight away, i love the smell of coconuts as it is, so this was great. In england you will find it has a more solid consistency because were not always so lucky with the hot weather, but it melts from being like set slightly soft candlewax consistency to complete liquid oil. If mine is ever quite solid i put the hairdryer on to make softer just because i prefer it that way. I noticed such a difference with my eczema after using this it really help settle it and kept it at bay with regular use.

Other health benefits its claims:-

• Good for your heart as the natural lauric acid in it reduces cholesterol.
• Helps with weight loss- people who use this instead of normal cooking oil are less likely to be obese as it contains short and medium-chain fatty acids and speeds up metabolism.
• boosts energy as the MCT are transported to the liver were they are used as a quick source of energy or turned into ketones.(HAVE A TEASPOON IN THE MORNING GREAT ENERGY BOOST)
• Helps prevent illnesses- the high lauric acid converts into monolaurin which is a compound which is proven to antiviral properties.
• Helps digestion- if you suffer IBS or gas this helps with the absorption of other nutrients.

MAKE SURE YOU DONT BUY HYDROGENERATED COCONUT OIL - AIM TO BUY ORGANIC EXTRA VIRGIN COLD PRESSED COCONUT OIL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now onto beauty related and my tips and tricks i use it for.

All over skin moisturiser - even face claims helps acne(personally i do not use this on face as moisturiser i found my skin oily enough haha #oilyskinprobs

- My tip - put a small blob into your hot bath and soak in it even when you get out the oil residue is left on saves rubbing it all over you afterwards .

Great eye makeup remover(even waterproof) yes works wonder.

-My tip- i always use a clean wipe after removed to get all oil off my face were it spread onto,so once cleaned get a tiny amount on finger and rub on lashes( GREAT EYELASH TREATMENT TO KEEP THEM STRONG AND GLOSSY LOOKING) perfect for overnight.

Hair treatment or glosser to add shine.For shine make sure you use tiny amount for glossy look you could end up looking like you need a good wash haha!

-My tip- If you bleach or highlight your hair before applying bleach put coconut oil through hair even the day before to really let soak in.(This reduces damage caused by the bleach and doesn't effect to lifting result in anyway if anything some people claims lifts better, i just found lifted the same with my hair but definitely felt better)

PLEASE NOTE THIS DOESNT WORK FOR SEMI DYES OR ANY OTHER DYES JUST BLEACH!!!! i dont think hair dyes will colour proply if you had the oil on.

Nail treatment- prevents fungal nail and great cuticle oil.

thanks so much for reading hope its been some help to you takecare xxxxxxxxxxx
