Soak Into Your Skin

I think we're all a little guilty of 

being lazy when it comes to our skin. 

I certainly know I'm the best example

of laziness for skin care.

(Among other things!)

But lately I've had enough and try hard to keep

my skin healthy.

After all, we only get one bag of skin

so make the most of it!

So I thought I'd share my moisturising miracles!

I give to you...

COCONUT OIL & ALOE VERA GEL!

I have noticed such a difference since using these.

My skin feels smoother and looks healthier.

So I'll go through and just tell you the main benefits 

of each product.

Coconut oil is one of the best Natural nutrients for your skin

and can also be used on your hair.

Normally the oil is hard like a wax but it melts

in your hands instantly.

However I would recommend keeping it either in a cool cupboard 

or even the fridge as mine has turned

to gloop in the heat!

For Hair:

- Put onto your hair while in the bath as it is brilliant

nourishment and helps the re-growth process of damaged hair.

- Apparently it helps if you suffer from Dandruff as well

if you rub it into your scalp.

For Skin:

- I always put this on after I've shaved my

legs. It helps to hydrate and stop shaving rash.

- I sometimes put a little on my face as it

helps delay the appearance of wrinkles and sagging of the skin.

- It can also be used to help certain skin conditions

such as; psoriasis, dermatitis,eczema and other skin infections.

Although this is melted, the consistency is still the same

if it were hard to begin with.

It isn't very thick and is relatively quick at drying

depending how much you apply.

(If you're like me and coat yourself in it

like you're basting a Turkey than you may be there a while!)

I got this 'Pure Coconut Oil' from my local Chemist

but you can find it anywhere and it's very inexpensive.

So next is the 'Aloe Vera Gel'.

Aloe Vera can be used for loads of things

regarding skin problems.

This is quite a thick gel but smooths out

easily and soaks into the skin pretty quickly.

The only downside I have to this is it can feel a little

sticky at times.

- It is brilliant with sunburn; it's been a life saver these past few weeks in this sun!

- It is really good for dry, irritated skin and can

be applied to stretch marks too!

- I usually put this on my skin all over throughout the day 

for a refreshing pick me up and to keep

my skin smooth and moistened. 

Someone bought me this so I'm not sure how much this particular one cost,

however you can buy it at 'Holland&Barrett'

for £3.99 for the 100ml and £6.99 for the 200ml.

So I hope this helped some of you

and if any of you use these what do you think of them?
