The miracle (or secret) of coconut oil

Since the age of 10, I’ve had a history of skin problems and acne and it only stopped 8 years ago, after I’d been on Roaccutane for almost a year.  Although Roaccutane is a shock to the skin and body, and is fantastic for major acne, on the long term it is not good for your health.  With all my knowledge and interest in skincare over the years, I am officially a ‘dermatologist’ without a degree!  This all adds up to 53 years!

On a rainy Monday morning, while enjoying my first coffee of the day, my friend Michelle was sitting with a glass filled with a gross looking green juice (Barley Grass – for strengthening of the immune system).  This is where a very special friendship was created between 2 women with a mutual interest in natural anti-aging and skin care.

After sharing my skin care problems with Michelle, she introduced me to Crede Organic Coconut Oil.  My parents had spent lots of money on dermatologists and supplements to try and normalize my skin.  I have learned through the years that my skin is a long-term investment and I should look after it every day of my life.  I don’t believe in Botox and any other form of facial reconstruction, therefore coconut oil sounded like the miracle of all skin treatment miracles!!

I would love to share my application areas with you, which showed unbelievable results over a 2-year period.  You must try it yourself to believe me!

·         I drink 1 teaspoon coconut oil in boiling water first thing every morning.  This keep the machine oiled, I experience less pain with osteo arthritis in my hands.

·         Coconut oil is wonderful in removing excess makeup in the shower, I find I use less of my normal cleanser afterwards.

·         From time to time I sleep with coconut oil in my hair – I am a hair color fanatic and this is working incredibly well for repairing damaged and color treated hair.

·         My special skin mask to reverse the aging process: 1 tablespoon coconut oil, mixed with 1 teaspoon of raw honey twice to 3 times a week.  You can also use this on your chest, boobs and arms.

·         Coconut oil absorbs quickly, which leaves a silky-smooth skin.  Every morning and evening, after washing my face with water and dabbing dry with a towel, I apply a small amount to my face as a moisturizer.  Remember, a little bit goes a long way, so don’t slather on too much.

·         Exfoliator twice a week – 1 tablespoon coconut oil mixed with bicarbonate of soda, just remember to avoid the area around your eyes – this is also a great scrub for dry hands and feet!

I have 2 products in my bathroom that I can’t go without, Crede Coconut Oil and a very good sunblock for my face!

 

Thank you, Coconut, you are a winner!
