Coconut Oil the Miracle Fruit

There are basically two ways to reap the numerous health benefits of coconut oil: consuming it or applying it directly to your body and hair. Don’t stop reading just yet. Even more important is knowing and understanding what kind of coconut oil is best to become part of your daily diet and skincare regimen.  Before I begin I wanted to add that within the last year I have replaced coconut oil with many products in my house from lotions to vegetable oil in an attempt to be more healthy and the results have been phenomenal.

Below I have compiled a list about all the uses for coconut oil and how this nature’s miracle has changed my life.  Feel free to explore the unique properties of coconut oil and see why this jar of goodness has become a staple in my home.  Hopefully you will see all of the benefits as well and hop on board the coconut oil train.  It’s a healthful as well as 100% natural and beautiful ride.

Coconut Oil Bodycare

Now that I’ve touched upon all the uses and benefits of consuming coconut oil, I’m excited to write about the amazing effects it has when applied topically. As a skin care product coconut oil is literally a miracle product. I have tried numerous lotions, oils, etc. to help try and treat my dry skin but did not get the results I wanted and wasted some money in the process. What I love about coconut oil is it is 100% natural. You don’t have to worry about added fragrances and chemicals.  The anti-aging effects of coconut oil are also amazing.

I’ve been using it as an under eye cream for the last six months and have literally seen fine lines disapeear.  For once my skin feels nourished.  Since coconut oil has a small molecular structure due to it being high in saturated fats it is easily absorbed through the skin. I really recommend using Spectrum Essentials Organic Coconut Oil Bodycare. 

Besides moisturizing dry skin and helping smooth wrinkles coconut oil’s antiseptic and antimicrobial properties help treat conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, dermatitis and other skin infections. It also makes a wonderful makeup remover.

Besides lathering up my skin two or three times a day with coconut oil I have also seen it work wonders for my dry hair. Coconut oil can be used as a conditioner to deeply condition hair and scalp.  It can also be applied to split ends. Using a small amount to calm down flyaways has also been a favorite of mine. The hydrophobic properties of coconut oil truly allow it deeply penetrate and nourish the hair and skin in a unique way to other oils.
