]]> For a long time now, coconut oil has been considered a miracle ingredient we all should use in our beauty routine. This is, of course, not exactly true, but there’s still plenty of reasons to use coconut oil and here they are.

Dandruff Treatment

Dermatologists claim there is no evidence that coconut oil can stimulate hair growth, however, most of them agree that this oil is an effective dandruff treatment. You can simply apply the oil to your roots and leave for a couple of minutes, then rinse and shampoo your hair.

Deep conditioner

Coconut oil can be a great treatment for dry, brittle hair that’s damaged from all the coloring and heat and it can easily be used as an alternative for deep conditioner products. Massage the oil into your hair and leave for at least one hour to the results.

Body scrub

Why buy all those expensive body scrubs when you can easily make your own DIY product using coconut oil? Coconut oil is extremely beneficial for our skin and it’s a great natural moisturizer that can nourish and leave your skin softer than ever.

Eczema relief

Coconut oil cannot cure eczema, but thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, it can soothe this skin condition and help you alleviate some of its symptoms such as dryness, irritation, and itching.

]]> A few years ago, coconut oil arrive on the scene and promised to fix all our hair and beauty problems.

It advertised itself as a miracle product that could clear your skin, soften your complexion, fix your nails, whiten your teeth, and deep condition your hair. We started using it for just about every purpose possible until suddenly, a rumor arose that coconut oil may not actually be a one-size-fits-all product

Now, we’ve discovered that we really shouldn’t be using it on dry hair. In fact, coconut oil is one of the worst things for dry hair.

Why you shouldn’t use coconut oil on dry hair

People often use hair oils to moisten their hair but when hair is dry, it needs water, not oil. Oil repels water and by applying it to dry hair, you actually prevent the hair from absorbing the moisture it really needs.

What you should use instead

Instead of using coconut oil on your dry hair, we recommend applying a hydrating hair mask instead. This will replenish and penetrate your dry hair, properly hydrating it from within.

If you’re not using coconut oil to whiten your teeth or shave your legs, seriously, give it a try. If you are using it on your dry hair, however, we suggest you trade your coconut oil in for something that actually works.

]]> Scars are very hard to deal with, not only physically, but also emotionally. Yes, there are a number of lotions and creams you can get, but these natural products will do a great job for your skin.

Lemons

Lemons are amazing because they are packed with AHA acids. All you need to do is get a slice of lemon and rub it on the spot for at least 10 minutes. Protect it with SPF once you’re done.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has so many uses! One of those is fixing your skin on so many levels. You don’t even have to be dealing with scaring to use this oil on a daily basis. But if you do, you will notice that it’s doing great changes to the affected areas.

Aloe Vera

If you get an Aloe Vera Plant it will be a huge revolution in your beauty routine. You can use this natural remedy to get rid of scars as well. It contains a high amount of antioxidants, healing, and moisturizing effects as well.

Honey

Cover the scars with honey, and put a bandage on top of it. Leave it on overnight and wash it in the morning.

]]> Using natural products, without all the harmful ingredients should be the most important part of your beauty routine. If you don’t properly take care of your face, you will regret it later. There is an affordable and healthy way to make a face cream that will change your life.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BaEueeUFBuc/

Ingredients:

To make this green tea face cream you will need 1 oz coconut oil, 1 oz almond oil, 1/4 teaspoon rosehip seed oil, 25 oz 100% pure beeswax, 1 packet organic green tea. In the process, you also have to get a hand mixer, fine sieve, and a chocolate melter or double boiler.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BoVFJX-n2nX/

How to Make it:

Mix the beeswax with all the oils and put them in the chocolate melter. Melt the mixture, until you get an even consistency. Once that’s done, open the tea bag and release the inside of the bag in the melted mixture. Keep them warm for around 15 minutes. After that, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve. For the following step, you will need your hand mixer. Whip the almost-done cream with it very well. This is when your green tea face cream is done. Store it in a clean container. The best place to keep it is a dark and cold one.

Let’s stay organic guys! Starting from this week I’m gonna share some travel tips that come directly from my own experiences during my trips. Can’t avoid sunburnt as we love the sun and chocolate skin especially in this summer holiday. After a long day chilling in the sun, I often make & use Lavender and coconut oil to soothe & nourish my skin. This one’s great for immediate relief, especially with blisters or burns. Lavender essential oil is great for pain relief and will help your skin heal faster. Coconut oil is nourishing to the skin, helps reduce inflammation, and may relieve pain as well. I usually make it by taking a small scoop of coconut oil in a spoon and then just add a drop of lavender oil! I probably do about two teaspoons of coconut oil to one drop of lavender. Mix with your finger and apply. Feel free to make more if you need- but a little goes a long way! #nextjourney #cocomymy #traveltips #beautytips #coconutoil #lavender #beautyday #sunburnt #sunburn #beachbody

Ingredients:

To make this easy DIY shaving cream you need 2/3 cup shea butter, 2/3 cup virgin coconut oil, 10 drops lavender essential oil, 5 drops peppermint essential oil, 1/4 cup olive or almond oil, and 2 teaspoons baking soda.

How To Make It:

The first step of making the easy DIY shaving cream includes you getting a saucepan. Put both the virgin coconut oil and the shea butter in the pan. Place it on the stove on low heat and stir the mixture. Once it’s homogenous and all melted you can remove it and put it on the side. This is when you add the lavender, peppermint and olive oil in the mixture. During the following step, you have to put it in a fridge and wait for a few minutes

  • In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the shea butter and coconut oil, stirring until the mixture is almost melted. Remove from the heat and add the olive oil and essential oils. Mix it together.
  • Put the mixture in the refrigerator to harden. After a few minutes remove the mixture from the refrigerator and allow to slightly soften. Add the 2 teaspoons of baking soda to the mixture with a mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Move the mixture back into the refrigerator to harden until it is used. Scoop it out with a spoon when you want to use it.

]]> White teeth are a feature that everyone dreams of. Each day we have foods and drinks that can easily alter the natural color of the teeth. Some of them include things such as coffee, tea, wine, citric fruits, which some people simply can’t live without. The process of bleaching can cost a whole fortune if you do it in the dental office. That’s why you can always try this DIY teeth-whitening paste, that is both efficient and simple to make.

Ingredients:

This paste is so easy and it will only require two ingredients. The first one you probably already own at home. Coconut oil is proven to remove staining bacteria from the surfaces of teeth and helps in bringing back a whiter shade. The second one is mint leaves, which you can easily get at the supermarket.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BkdkImgD9sZ/

Preparation:

Just simply mesh the peppermint leaves, and mix them with some coconut oil. Once you get a paste-consistency mixture, your DIY teeth whitening paste is ready. You can always use it with a toothbrush, and brush your teeth for 5-10 minutes, preferably in the morning. You won’t notice the results right away. Instead, try using it consistently for a while to get a brighter smile. Unlike baking soda and similar whitening products, this paste is completely safe.

]]> Time To Jump Off The Coconut Oil Trend because apparently it’s Doing Your Body More Harm Than Good

The wellness space is constantly pushing the newest miracle product. Whether it be an essential oil or the trendiest way to approach your self-care routine, living well has never been so celebrated. Social media outlets are being flooded with one oil in particular, and wellness lovers use it when they cook, as part of a beauty regimen, and even to clean around the house!

Derived from mature coconuts, this oil is proclaimed to have a variety of health benefits.

Many people use coconut oil as a face moisturizer or as a hair mask to give their locks added shine, and some health-conscious consumers even add it to their favorite food recipes.

Coconut oil is even known to improve your immune system, control your blood sugar, increase your energy, and keep your teeth in good shape. The benefits seem to be endless, leading many to use this solid oil while preparing a variety of meals.

Rethinking the obsession

A Recent Report May Have You Rethinking Your Coconut Oil Obsession. Although coconut oil seems to be heaven-sent, it may not be beneficial to all of your organs. A report released by the American Heart Association has revealed that consuming coconut oil may be detrimental to your heart health.

Coconut oil is filled with saturated fats, and the Dietary Fats and Cardiovascular Disease Advisory found that coconut oil increases bad cholesterol (LDL) levels in seven out of a total of eight controlled clinical trials. According to the report, coconut oil actually contains considerably more saturated fat than beef and butter, and an alarming 82% of the fat in coconut oil is saturated.

The AHA Is Recommending You Avoid It Completely

High levels of bad cholesterol is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease, which leads the American Heart Association to advise against the consumption of this popular oil.

“Because coconut oil increases LDL cholesterol, a cause of CVD [cardiovascular disease], and has no known offsetting favorable effects, we advise against the use of coconut oil,” stated the Dietary Fats and Cardiovascular Disease Advisory.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bd60hfAhXpu/?tagged=coconutoil

There Are Other Less Harmful Ways To Get Your Fix

Don’t ditch your coveted container of coconut oil just yet.

Although researchers recommend using vegetable or olive oil while cooking, coconut oil works well — and safely — as a hair and skin moisturizer. “You can put it on your body, but don’t put it in your body,” stated Frank Sacks, the lead author of the American Heart Association’s report.

Keeping up with the neverending laundry list of wellness products can be daunting, but staying up to date on the health risks of these fads can keep you living your best life. Consider your heart the next time you think about cooking something up with some coconut oil!

You know that saying, “I’ve got 99 problems, but coconut oil solved 90% of them?” While it may be a slight exaggeration, there’s still a lot of truth to it! Coconut oil is so useful and versatile due to its myriad of health benefits especially when used for cooking. This is mostly due to the type of fat that it’s composed of (medium chain fatty acids or MCFAs). Most of the fats that we consume take longer to digest, but the MCFAs found in coconut oil provide the perfect source of energy because they only have to go through a three-step process to be turned into fuel, whereas other fats go through a 26-step process. This makes particles in coconut oil easier to digest and harder to readily store as fat, which makes them available to be used immediately for energy. Coconut oil is also an anti-inflammatory food, which helps restore a healthy gut microbiome. When our gut environment is healthy, it ensures that all of our vitamins and minerals are fully absorbed. When our gut is inflamed, this can lead to poor digestion. 95% of our serotonin is found in our gut (that’s why it can be referred to as our second brain) and why it’s extremely important to make sure our gut is healthy so that we can stay happy. Additionally, coconut oil has a higher smoking point than olive oil, which makes it better to cook with. If you’re looking for a good coconut oil be sure to look for the cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil. And if that wasn’t enough, don’t forget that coconut oil can also be used as makeup remover, body lotion, sunscreen and many more things I’m sure! On top of being amazing for inside the body it is also amazing outside the body as well. It is is an amazing moisturizer to use on your skin and scalp if you have dry skin and you’ll notice the difference within the day!

]]> Scars are very hard to deal with, not only physically, but also emotionally. Yes, there are a number of lotions and creams you can get, but these natural products will do a great job for your skin.

Lemons

Lemons are amazing because they are packed with AHA acids. All you need to do is get a slice of lemon and rub it on the spot for at least 10 minutes. Protect it with SPF once you’re done.

]]> Using natural products, without all the harmful ingredients should be the most important part of your beauty routine. If you don’t properly take care of your face, you will regret it later. There is an affordable and healthy way to make a face cream that will change your life.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BaEueeUFBuc/

Ingredients:

To make this green tea face cream you will need 1 oz coconut oil, 1 oz almond oil, 1/4 teaspoon rosehip seed oil, 25 oz 100% pure beeswax, 1 packet organic green tea. In the process, you also have to get a hand mixer, fine sieve, and a chocolate melter or double boiler.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BoVFJX-n2nX/

How to Make it:

Mix the beeswax with all the oils and put them in the chocolate melter. Melt the mixture, until you get an even consistency. Once that’s done, open the tea bag and release the inside of the bag in the melted mixture. Keep them warm for around 15 minutes. After that, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve. For the following step, you will need your hand mixer. Whip the almost-done cream with it very well. This is when your green tea face cream is done. Store it in a clean container. The best place to keep it is a dark and cold one.

To avoid thatת you can actually make your own shaving cream by using only good ingredients and essential oils. It will completely change the way you remove hair forever. Check out the recipe for this DIY shaving cream below.

Let’s stay organic guys! Starting from this week I’m gonna share some travel tips that come directly from my own experiences during my trips. Can’t avoid sunburnt as we love the sun and chocolate skin especially in this summer holiday. After a long day chilling in the sun, I often make & use Lavender and coconut oil to soothe & nourish my skin. This one’s great for immediate relief, especially with blisters or burns. Lavender essential oil is great for pain relief and will help your skin heal faster. Coconut oil is nourishing to the skin, helps reduce inflammation, and may relieve pain as well. I usually make it by taking a small scoop of coconut oil in a spoon and then just add a drop of lavender oil! I probably do about two teaspoons of coconut oil to one drop of lavender. Mix with your finger and apply. Feel free to make more if you need- but a little goes a long way! #nextjourney #cocomymy #traveltips #beautytips #coconutoil #lavender #beautyday #sunburnt #sunburn #beachbody

Ingredients:

To make this easy DIY shaving cream you need 2/3 cup shea butter, 2/3 cup virgin coconut oil, 10 drops lavender essential oil, 5 drops peppermint essential oil, 1/4 cup olive or almond oil, and 2 teaspoons baking soda.

How To Make It:

The first step of making the easy DIY shaving cream includes you getting a saucepan. Put both the virgin coconut oil and the shea butter in the pan. Place it on the stove on low heat and stir the mixture. Once it’s homogenous and all melted you can remove it and put it on the side. This is when you add the lavender, peppermint and olive oil in the mixture. During the following step, you have to put it in a fridge and wait for a few minutes

  • In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the shea butter and coconut oil, stirring until the mixture is almost melted. Remove from the heat and add the olive oil and essential oils. Mix it together.
  • Put the mixture in the refrigerator to harden. After a few minutes remove the mixture from the refrigerator and allow to slightly soften. Add the 2 teaspoons of baking soda to the mixture with a mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Move the mixture back into the refrigerator to harden until it is used. Scoop it out with a spoon when you want to use it.

]]> White teeth are a feature that everyone dreams of. Each day we have foods and drinks that can easily alter the natural color of the teeth. Some of them include things such as coffee, tea, wine, citric fruits, which some people simply can’t live without. The process of bleaching can cost a whole fortune if you do it in the dental office. That’s why you can always try this DIY teeth-whitening paste, that is both efficient and simple to make.

Ingredients:

This paste is so easy and it will only require two ingredients. The first one you probably already own at home. Coconut oil is proven to remove staining bacteria from the surfaces of teeth and helps in bringing back a whiter shade. The second one is mint leaves, which you can easily get at the supermarket.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BkdkImgD9sZ/

Preparation:

Just simply mesh the peppermint leaves, and mix them with some coconut oil. Once you get a paste-consistency mixture, your DIY teeth whitening paste is ready. You can always use it with a toothbrush, and brush your teeth for 5-10 minutes, preferably in the morning. You won’t notice the results right away. Instead, try using it consistently for a while to get a brighter smile. Unlike baking soda and similar whitening products, this paste is completely safe.

]]> Time To Jump Off The Coconut Oil Trend because apparently it’s Doing Your Body More Harm Than Good

The wellness space is constantly pushing the newest miracle product. Whether it be an essential oil or the trendiest way to approach your self-care routine, living well has never been so celebrated. Social media outlets are being flooded with one oil in particular, and wellness lovers use it when they cook, as part of a beauty regimen, and even to clean around the house!

Derived from mature coconuts, this oil is proclaimed to have a variety of health benefits.

Many people use coconut oil as a face moisturizer or as a hair mask to give their locks added shine, and some health-conscious consumers even add it to their favorite food recipes.

Coconut oil is even known to improve your immune system, control your blood sugar, increase your energy, and keep your teeth in good shape. The benefits seem to be endless, leading many to use this solid oil while preparing a variety of meals.

Rethinking the obsession

A Recent Report May Have You Rethinking Your Coconut Oil Obsession. Although coconut oil seems to be heaven-sent, it may not be beneficial to all of your organs. A report released by the American Heart Association has revealed that consuming coconut oil may be detrimental to your heart health.

Coconut oil is filled with saturated fats, and the Dietary Fats and Cardiovascular Disease Advisory found that coconut oil increases bad cholesterol (LDL) levels in seven out of a total of eight controlled clinical trials. According to the report, coconut oil actually contains considerably more saturated fat than beef and butter, and an alarming 82% of the fat in coconut oil is saturated.

The AHA Is Recommending You Avoid It Completely

High levels of bad cholesterol is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease, which leads the American Heart Association to advise against the consumption of this popular oil.

“Because coconut oil increases LDL cholesterol, a cause of CVD [cardiovascular disease], and has no known offsetting favorable effects, we advise against the use of coconut oil,” stated the Dietary Fats and Cardiovascular Disease Advisory.

There Are Other Less Harmful Ways To Get Your Fix

Don’t ditch your coveted container of coconut oil just yet.

Although researchers recommend using vegetable or olive oil while cooking, coconut oil works well — and safely — as a hair and skin moisturizer. “You can put it on your body, but don’t put it in your body,” stated Frank Sacks, the lead author of the American Heart Association’s report.

Keeping up with the neverending laundry list of wellness products can be daunting, but staying up to date on the health risks of these fads can keep you living your best life. Consider your heart the next time you think about cooking something up with some coconut oil!

You know that saying, “I’ve got 99 problems, but coconut oil solved 90% of them?” While it may be a slight exaggeration, there’s still a lot of truth to it! Coconut oil is so useful and versatile due to its myriad of health benefits especially when used for cooking. This is mostly due to the type of fat that it’s composed of (medium chain fatty acids or MCFAs). Most of the fats that we consume take longer to digest, but the MCFAs found in coconut oil provide the perfect source of energy because they only have to go through a three-step process to be turned into fuel, whereas other fats go through a 26-step process. This makes particles in coconut oil easier to digest and harder to readily store as fat, which makes them available to be used immediately for energy. Coconut oil is also an anti-inflammatory food, which helps restore a healthy gut microbiome. When our gut environment is healthy, it ensures that all of our vitamins and minerals are fully absorbed. When our gut is inflamed, this can lead to poor digestion. 95% of our serotonin is found in our gut (that’s why it can be referred to as our second brain) and why it’s extremely important to make sure our gut is healthy so that we can stay happy. Additionally, coconut oil has a higher smoking point than olive oil, which makes it better to cook with. If you’re looking for a good coconut oil be sure to look for the cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil. And if that wasn’t enough, don’t forget that coconut oil can also be used as makeup remover, body lotion, sunscreen and many more things I’m sure! On top of being amazing for inside the body it is also amazing outside the body as well. It is is an amazing moisturizer to use on your skin and scalp if you have dry skin and you’ll notice the difference within the day!
