One of the most popular oils today is coconut oil. And this is for good reason, because coconut oil consists of unsaturated fatty acids, which are similar to the lipids of our skin. That is why it perfectly restores the hydrolipidic film - the protective barrier of the skin, making it soft, silky and smooth. If you have dry, flaky skin, using coconut oil instead of your regular moisturizer can soften and hydrate your skin, leaving it feeling fresh and soft.

Features of coconut oil

1. Moisturizes. Coconut oil is made up of fatty acids that help reduce dryness and allow your skin to retain moisture.

2. Helps protect the skin. Coconut oil provides a protective barrier, protecting the skin from toxins, dirt and other environmental pollutants that you encounter every day.

3. Smoothes the skin. Applying coconut oil to the skin has a smoothing and softening effect and over time can really help improve skin texture.

4. Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Coconut oil can help reduce the signs of aging when used regularly. By hydrating and softening the skin, it makes those fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable.

5. Soothes temporary redness. This oil has a soothing effect and can help reduce temporary redness when applied to the skin.

6. Contains antioxidants. With antioxidant and phytonutrient (plant compounds) ingredients, coconut oil for the face can help boost your nutrient quotient and fight environmental stressors that accelerate the signs of aging.

7. Easily absorbed. Coconut oil is easily and quickly absorbed into the skin, providing instant hydration and protection.

8. Soothes irritated skin. If you are prone to irritation or sensitivity, coconut oil can ease the discomfort and provide a soothing effect.

9. Smells great. Who doesn't love that delicious tropical scent of coconut? This is an added bonus along with the rest of the assets of this oil.

Application method

For the body: Coconut oil, like all vegetable oils, is a non-volatile organic substance. Its ability to "retain moisture" (although in fact it does not retain it, but repels it) is due to its hydrophobic properties. Therefore, it is best to apply the oil to wet skin after a shower, and then blot with a towel. So the oil seems to seal the moisture, preventing it from evaporating.

For the face: Warm in the palms and apply to dry and cleansed skin of the face and neck. Use 1-3 times a week. Use for self-massage of the face, neck and décolleté.

For hair: rub a couple of drops of oil in your palms and smooth unruly hair. Here, the main thing is not to overdo it, so that the hair does not look greasy and unkempt.
