Extra Virgin Coconut Oil ~ The Beauty Elixir
For centuries, natives of India and the Pacific Islands have been noted for their beautifully thick, long hair and glowing skin. What’s their secret?It’s definitely in their diet. It’s definitely on their bodies. It’s definitely the humble coconut.Coconut meat and especially the extra virgin coconut oil are the champions of beauty products.
Besides the silky smooth texture and sweet smell of summer, extra virgin coconut oil is antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. Why are these properties important in beauty products? For starters, summer sun can be brutal. High humidity can cause breakouts. This leaves skin prone to overexposure and to a lesser known degree, produces more sebum (natural body oils). The extra virgin coconut oil acts as a barrier to exposed skin. It keeps non-beneficial bacterium from entering. Plus, natural coconut oil cools and calms.
For skin problems like eczema, psoriasis and open wounds, extra virgin coconut oil is a great choice! A trade beauty secret to glowing skin and hair is to eat/drink coconut every day. Coconut water is high in vitamins and minerals, a mild laxative and has healthy probiotics.
Coconut meat is highly nutritious with anti-bacterial properties that help control parasites and fungi that can lead to indigestion and other related digestive problems. The fat in extra virgin coconut oil aids in the absorption of vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
When our bodies get the proper nutrition inside and out, she glows! Add a little coconut to your daily regimen and experience the secret beautiful people have known for centuries.
