Coco 4 Coconut
Coconut oil... Oh coconut oil. I literally love coconut oil.. It is extremely lush and creamy especially in the harder state when it is in cooler temperatures. Okay here goes on the chemistry side: coconut oil is made up of saturated fats that are medium chain fatty acids or triglycerides. I shall leave the chemistry there haha.
Coco keeps skin smooth to the touch. Due to the presence of these fats, coconut oil also retains the moisture content of the skin, as the fats eliminate moisture loss through the pores on skin.
I personally mix in my coconut oil from amiri with my cetaphil lotion due to the fact I have pretty sensitive skin so I found this combination works pretty good for me. My mixture has a very creamy consistency and it's super smooth which I love and I add just the right amount of coconut oil that works for me.
You can get coconut oil virtually anywhere and it can be used for virtually anything also. Coconut oil is also awesome for cooking it is a good substitue for butter and vegetable oil. Most supermarkets carry different brands but as long as it says key things like cold-pressed, virgin and all natural you should be good to go. For those in Jamaica you can also get coconut oil at The coconut board of Jamaica but I prefer to get mine either from the supermarket or Amiri Beauty. The cetaphil lotion can be found in most supermarkets and pharmacies also but I personally prefer to buy mine from Pricesmart as it is WAY cheaper due to the fact they sell the lotion in bulk.
I have found many benefits of using coconut oil such as smoother and softer skin, more even skin tone and also I have noticed that my skin has a natural sheen to it now that just gives you a natural glow. Coconut oil can also be used on your feet. A good trick is to put some oil in a plastic bag and tie each foot in seperate bags then put your feet inside socks and leave it over-night. In the morning your dry and cracked feet will be gone. Finally coconut oil can be not only cooked with but put in your hair. It provides the hair with a soft well-sheened look. I personally don't use coconut oil in my hair but I know many people who love to put it in theirs. The oil is also awesome for hair masks and body scrubs. If you want a great coconut oil and coffee scrub let me know so I will do a post!!
Sooo guys Coconut oil has numerous benefits and all in all coconut is BOMBBB!!!
