Coconut Oil, The New Fad or Fact?

October 15, 2019 by Jana Short 1 Comment

Judge for Yourself… I think you will be surprised

Benefits of Coconut for Skin

One of the top ingredients in natural or DIY acne skin care products is coconut. This is because when you get it in its natural or organic form, it is very gentle on your skin, but provides a lot of excellent dermatological benefits. Here are some reasons to use coconut and how to make your own face scrub.

Coconut Has Excellent Nutrients

When you start looking at DIY recipes for skincare products and mask, or you decide to buy over-the-counter natural skincare products, you will notice that coconut is often included in them. This is often coconut oil, but some of them also use coconut milk. The reason coconut is a significant ingredient is because of how healthy it is for you. Coconut helps you in so many ways, including making your hair shiny, helping clean your teeth, moisturizing your skin, and hydrating your body. It can also help with your acne. Coconut first has fatty acids, but the right kind. It has antimicrobials, which are going to help remove the bacteria that cause acne in the first place. Another essential nutrient in coconut is vitamin E, which can also help to clear blocked sebum glands and improve your skin’s overall appearance.

It is an Anti-Inflammatory

Coconut also happens to be a natural anti-inflammatory, which means it can help reduce the inflammation in your skin. Adult acne is often linked to excessive inflammation, so this can help clear up the breakouts and reduce the problem in the future. Coconut oil especially can penetrate deeply into your skin layers, so if you keep using products with coconut oil, you won’t have a big problem with acne in the future.

Making Your Own Coconut Scrub

If you are going to make your own acne skincare products with coconut, you first want to choose virgin coconut oil. This is in its natural form, so it doesn’t contain any additives or artificial ingredients. Since exfoliating, your skin is essential when trying to get rid of adult acne, making a scrub with coconut oil is an excellent option.

If you want to make your own scrub, start by getting the right type of coconut oil. You then want to heat it up over low heat so that it is in a thinner form that is easier to work with. Use salt or brown sugar as the scrubbing agent, combining it with the coconut oil until it becomes a paste that you can scrub on your face. You can also add some essential oils if you like.

Your body is a temple, and you need to take care of it! Enjoy this fantastic body scrub recipe to give you gorgeous and flawless skin!

This recipe is an incredible way to introduce your teenagers as a holistic approach to a daily skincare routine. It’s safe, for them to use and is effective on their changing hormonal skin irritations.

    Thanks Jana, Coconut Oil, both natural and the fractionated versions, are one of my favorite “Go To’s” when it comes to sharing natural wellness with others. It goes with everything and has so many benefits, the uses are seemingly endless. It’s my main product for skin, whether working on the ranch in the blazing sun of summer, or the soon arriving chill of winter. Thank you so much for the great DIY’s, I will definitely share those with others!!
