I recently discovered the awesome benefits of coconut oil and i have been so happy with it that  i decided i must share with you  my beautiful readers.
The fabulous part is that its readily available in Nigeria.Alot of our young beauty products manufacturers have gone into the production of the extra -virgin cold pressed coconut oil.Below are some of the benefits to convince you.Gone are the days when we need to buy beauty creams containing coconut oil and other harsh overly processed chemical alternatives, which we all know aren't good for the skin.It feels good to know we can now have it more organic and the best part? much more cheaper…Enjoy!!

COCONUT OIL AS A FACIAL MOSITURIZER:
You can breath a sigh of relief as you replace your facial moisturiser with good pure organic coconut oil.It will hydrate your skin and give you a natural glow.your skin will start to look healthy and thank you for it.All you need do is apply a small amount with your palms before bedtime and you will wake up feeling radiant . Do not be alarmed as it may sit on your skin for a little while but will eventually get soaked in.You can use it on other parts of your body especially if you have dry skin.

AS A CONDITIONER:
Coconut oil makes a great conditioner for your hair.You can also be used a deep conditioning treatment.Apply on your hair and leave for about 10 mins and then wash out and discover an instant silky hair.You will definitely be happy if you did.

AS AN EYE TREATMENT:
Since coconut oil is a good moisturiser,it makes for a good eye-cream.Apply a small amount around the eyes area and see it hydrate the eye area especially if you have dry dark lines around the eyes caused by dehydration.

AS A CUTICLE SOFTENER:
If you have hard and rough cuticles,then you need to apply coconut oil around your cuticles and see them go soft immediately,after then you can push them back with a cuticle stick or take the rough skin off with a cuticle remover.

AS A PRE-TREATMENT BEFORE SHAVING:
If you have very sensitive skin that get sensitive and raw especially after shaving,then this treatment is for you.firstly apply a small amount of coconut oil on the skin to moisturise just before you shave.You will notice that this will keep away any form of irritation,keeping the shaved area well moisturised.

AS A FOOT SCRUB:
All you need do is add some sugar to a sizeable amount of coconut oil,stir well and voila you have a foot scrub.The sugar will help exfoliate the rough patches on the skin,leaving your skin super-moisturised and clean.This can also be used as a body scrub and replaces the store bought ones that contain unwanted chemicals.

AS A LIP-BALM:
If its good for the skin,its also good for the lips.it works wonders on chapped lips,leaving your lips smooth and well moisturised.If you like,you can also add a little sugar to help exfoliate the lips.

AS ACNE TREATMENT:
Because coconut oil has anti-bacterial properties,It works great wonders on acne.mix with a little bit of baking soda and apply on the affected area.Apply gently and rub in a circular motion.After a few minutes,wash out and pat dry.It will help eliminate the dead skin,and unclog the pores,leaving your skin  fresh and clean.
