Hair and Skin Care
Hair Care
Instead of using regular shampoo and conditioner, in our home we use bar shampoo made of coconut and other natural oils. There are many homemade shampoo recipes you can find online, if you're feeling adventurous you can make your own. But if you're like me who likes to keep it simple, you can try J.R. Liggett's bar shampoo, there's no need to use any hair conditioner but if you prefer, you can apply coconut oil on your hair before or after you shower. Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrients for your hair. It helps in healthy growth of hair and gives your hair a shiny quality. It is also highly effective in reducing protein loss which can lead to various unattractive or unhealthy qualities in your hair. It is an excellent conditioner and helps the re-growth process of damaged hair. It also provides the essential proteins required for nourishing and healing damaged hair.
Skin Care
Auromere Sandalwood-Turmeric and Chandrika are natural soaps my husband and I love, they are free of harmful chemicals and made of natural oils that help problem skins and improve skin tones. After you shower, instead of putting chemical lotion on your body you can apply coconut oil, it is an excellent massage oil for the skin as well. It acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skin, including dry skin. Coconut oil is a safe solution for preventing dryness and flaking of skin. It also delays the appearance of wrinkles and sagging of skin which normally accompany aging. Coconut oil also helps in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other skin infections. For that exact reason, coconut oil forms the base ingredient of various body care products like soaps, lotions, and creams that are used for skin care. Coconut oil also helps in preventing premature aging and degenerative diseases due to its well-known antioxidant properties.
Note: Make sure to buy organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil to ensure its quality.
