Coconut Oil: Skin Care

Do you have dry skin?  Coconut oil might be the solution for you.  It is a great moisturizer for all skin types.  Just take some in your hand and watch it melt as you rub it together to create a oily solution.  Then apply it to your problem areas.  And wa-lah!  Beautiful skin.  The fat in the oil supposedly helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other skin problems, such as eczema.  My hubby has really dry skin and this seems to be helping.




Sugar Coconut Scrub

This is a 1:3 ratio recipe.  1 tablespoon of sugar to 3 tablespoons of sugar.  Heat up the coconut until it starts to melt than pour the sugar into the mix.  After stirring the ingredients together and cooled down enough to touch without burning, you can put it on your wet skin.  You can even add a little vanilla to give it a nice smell.
