Coconut Oil – Does Wonders for Your Skin



From the minute we’re born, most of us, particularly in Trinidad and Tobago, our parents started massaging us from head to toe with nothing except for all-natural coconut oil.  When it came to baby formula, pampers and even our baby bottles only the best brands were suitable but when it came down to our skin, our parents didn’t want anything from a store, they would source someone from way before to get that homemade, organic, heavenly smelling, coconut oil. 


Coconut oil has been tried and tested throughout history and its benefits to skin are endless!  Here are just a few of the ways that we can use this in our regular skincare routine for healthy and supple skin!

  1. As a Moisturizer -  Coconut oil is fat extracted from raw coconuts that contain emollient properties that hydrate and protect the skin.  These include linoleic acid (vitamin F), which helps skin retain moisture, and lauric acid,  which has antibacterial properties making this an excellent product for dry skin.  Use coconut oil all on its own or mix in with your daily moisturizer.
  2. To Prevent Skin Infections - Coconut oil has antimicrobial properties that protect against harmful microorganisms including acne, cellulitis, folliculitis and athlete's foot that are all caused by bacteria or fungi.
  3. To Treat Acne – Acne is an inflammatory condition and coconut oil reduces inflammation in the body to aid in the treatment of acne.
  4. To Prevent Stretch Marks and Wrinkles – Stretch marks are found in both men and women, but more commonly affect women, almost up to 40-90% of women.  The trick is to catch them young, when they are pink or red, and prevent them from damaging the skin any further.  Coconut Oil’s anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-microbial qualities get absorbed by the skin and heal it.  It is also rich in Vitamin E which can help prevent the onset of wrinkles and can prevent skin from sagging. 

    Here’s what even better, Coconut Oil is not only good externally be internally as well.  It also:

    1)      Strengthens Your Immune System

    2)      Improves Heart Health

    3)      Reduces Hunger

    4)      Boosts Brain Functions

    5)      Protects and Nourishes Hair

So informative !

Coconut oil is a staple in my curly haircare. I use it as a pre-poo before I shampoo. I massage it into my scalp to stimulate growth. It grows my hair like crazy! I add it to my diy hair masks. I also use it to soften my hair from any crunchy gel cast on my curls. I use it as a cuticle oil and also for removing mascara as part of my makeup removal routine.
