Try Coconut Oil For Sexy, Longer Eyelashes and Healthy Hair and Skin
Coconut Oil “Yes, It’s the Next Big Thing!!!
Can a $5.00 bottle of Coconut Oil actually deliver results to you as impressive as a $1,000 dermabrasion of your face, a $150 straightening of your hair, or a $120 prescription eyelash lengthener?
Well, the answer is no.
But you know what? The results of using Coconut Oil – a product ignored and misunderstood for centuries in the Western world (but not in the East) – are good. Actually they’re remarkably good.
Let’s begin with hair. Bobbi Brown – one of the major beauty powerhouses in the world today – recently discussed the problem that many people have, including herself: Dry, baked summer hair. And you know what? Her top recommendation had nothing to do with buying one of her products, much less resort to a costly (and formaldehyde-based) Brazilian or Asian hair straightening process to to end the friz problem. In fact , she revealed that spending summer after summer at the New Jersey shore led her to try – guess what? – Coconut Oil.
Bobbi’s recommendation ? A 20 minute Coconut Oil conditioning treatment applied to dry hair in 4 sections, followed by a light shampoo and rinse.
Straightforward, effective , cheap and totally natural . And oh, don’t you adore that yummy smell!!!!
Next, how about eyelashes? Much has been written about Latisse, the pricey prescription-only super drug that grows your eyelashes. No doubt about it, Latisse works (although it does have its downsides, including possibly turning your blue eyes brown – forever ).
The same scientific guidelines that support Bobbi’s Coconut Oil hair-care advice also apply to Eastern women’s time-tested use of Coconut Oil as an all-natural eyelash treatment. Coconut Oil has lauric acid, a saturated fatty acid that penetrates the hair shaft and bonds to proteins – healing damaged hair, eyelashes, and brows, and actually fortifying them against breakage. Put simply, it’s an all-around winner!!! (And, did I mention that scrumptious aroma?!)
Okay, you might say, Coconut Oil might work to repair damaged follicles, but skin? The beauty and cosmetics industry today is focused essentially on finding an efficient skin rejuvenation product. We know that surgical (facelift, browlift, and so on .) and nonsurgical procedures (such as dermabrasion and Botox injections) work “they are going to take years off your appearance.
Clearly, a surgical technique such as a facelift offers you the best chance at achieving a taut, wrinkle-free, fresh appearance.
Botox works, too – but as plenty of us know, Botox is terribly costly and requires continued injections every few month or so to keep up your new fresh looks.
The results of dermabrasion, on the other hand, lasts for years – a good length of time . Dermabrasion needs downtime of no less than 2 weeks (your face will be temporarily pitted and scabbed, you must stay clear of the sun and/or wear high-potency sun-screen and other protection), and if you have a inclination toward developing cold sores, you’ll probably develop some).
What are the negatives of using Coconut Oil as a facial moisturizer? Absolutely none. Zip, zip, nil, zilch . What are the positive things ? Well, you actually know! The lauric acid in Coconut Oil will give you glowing, gorgeous, healthy and young-looking skin, as well as long, sexy eyelashes and hair – naturally!!!! (And did I bring up that lovely, irresistible scent?!)
