Magic of coconut oil
Holy grail coconut oil is just what you need, as per the suggestions of your mother. But when it comes to skin issues like acne, dryness, dull skin, etc we only trust expensive facial oils. According to some top dermatologists, coconut oil is a miracle beauty ingredient for the skin as well.
Coconut oil is extracted from the fleshy meat of the coconuts. It is a natural saturated fat, this may sound ubiquitous! But coconut oil is the only source for medium-chain fatty acids, which makes it best for the skin.
I know this might seem like a joke to you because of all the break-outs & oil slick you suffer. But recent researches prove that coconut oil is highly hydrating due to the high fatty acid content, it fairly reduces inflammation & stops free radical formation. Moreover, it can be used around your sensitive areas like under your eyes and on the lips as well.
Hush, one oil & so many benefits!
But, the beauty caveat regarding coconut oil is that it is very thick to get soaked into the pores & hydrate it. So basically, it can be used as a final step in your skincare regime, to lock in all the moisture and hydration from the products you apply before it.
If you are prone to acne badly and coconut oil still scares you, experienced beauticians recommend using this oil as a makeup remover or mixing a drop or so into your foundation or serum or face-packs, so that you don't miss on its nutrition.
Therefore, forget spending on expensive facial oils and apply coconut oil on your face. Layer it over with the foundation and experience dewy & salubrious look!
To convince you, even more, coconut oil has vitamin-F, vitamin-E and healthy fats, which help the skin to retain its moisture and Lauric acid, which has antibacterial properties.
It also helps the skin to increase its elasticity, fight acne-causing bacteria, reduces fine lines & wrinkles and reduce sub-burns as well.
This oil works wonderfully for eye-lash growth as well because even if it goes into your eyes by mistake, it's pretty harmless as suggested by dermatologists.
Coconut oil is also used in scrubs to exfoliate, moisturise and remove dead skin cells consequently. In case, you are suffering from dark circles, add a drop of coconut oil in your under eye-cream and make your dark bags banish!
But if you are allergic to coconuts, never use this oil. Always do a patch test on your neck to see the change first and then go on to apply it on your face.
Conclusively everyone's skin is different, therefore what may suit your friend, might not suit you. Hence choose accordingly.
Trust nature! Trust coconut oil for skin! So splurge on coconut oil endlessly and don't think twice.
