Coconut oil, or coconut in general, are skin-friendly products. They bind perfectly to your skin and your hair. In fact, the cosmetics industry widely uses them as ingredients of beauty products.

Coconut for the hair.

It is also excellent as a polishing paste. Apply the coconut oil when you finished your hairstyle. Just place a drop of oil on the lengths and the hair will be immediately bright.

Girls, did you know that who have indomitable curly hair use coconut oil to tame their hair? Coconut oil is excellent for regulating the hair, but also for ‘grooming’ dry hair.

You can use coconut-based products even as an anti-dandruff because the coconut contains anti-fungal properties and moisturizes the scalp. To conclude, it is good to remember that it is also known for its antioxidant capacities.

Coconut for the skin

Coconut oil is also super hydrating and emollient. As we mentioned before, the natural fats contained in the coconut blend perfectly with our skin and with our hair. This oil makes skin and hair nourished and free of grease.

Regular use of this product applied all over the body will make your skin soft, silky, smooth and extremely shiny. Being rich in vitamin E, it is a natural anti-aging cosmetic.

Cane sugar

It is a source of glycolic acid and is the smallest alpha-hydroxy acid. Thanks to the extremely small size of these molecules, they manage to get deep into our skin, favoring the growth of new cells.

At the same time, cane sugar loosens the bonds between these new cells, making the skin brighter and more elastic. It is also a natural moisturizer because it transfers the humidity directly onto the skin so that it is always soft.

It also helps to lighten the skin and reduce the signs of any scars. Last but not least, it prevents acne and controls the formation of melanin.

In fact, it has antiseptic and antibacterial properties. Its use in cosmetics is very frequent. In fact, it is applied a lot on the face because it is particularly effective against acne. It is also used often because it makes the skin bright and toned.

Himalayan salt

This sea salt has to drain and remodeling properties. Thanks to the property of osmosis, it succeeds in penetrating deep into the skin and freeing tissues from excessive liquids. Furthermore, having draining properties, Himalayan pink salt is also excellent for fighting cellulite. Obviously, if you add the Himalayan pink salt in your soap recipe it also works as an excellent natural scrub agent.

Essential oil 

Those oils are great allies for the health and beauty of your skin. In fact, in addition to being very delicate perfume, they bring many benefits to the skin. There are different types of essential oil.

Let’s look at ones that could best suit your skin.

For the skin that needs to be nourished.

Add a few drops of lemon, geranium, and fennel essential oil to a little coconut oil and apply it on body and face.  Massage for a couple of minutes. Remember to apply the cosmetic on clean skin in the evening, before going to bed.

In particular for these facial and body soap/scrubs we used:

Orange essential oil.
