This post is all about coconut oil and let me tell you why it's my Holy Grail and so..... FANTASTIC!
What is this product?
Biona Organic Coconut Virgin Oil. Virgin coconut oil is extracted from well matured and fresh coconut through specialised processes without damaging its natural nutrition. No other ingredients like artificial stuff, chemicals etc. Hence why they can use the word 'Organic'
(remember a lot of products like to state they are natural however they would say 'organic' and if you look at that long ingredients list at the back.. They will al say some sort of chemical even brands like 'simple' have sulfate/acid etc..
What do you use it for?
Where do i start... Every area of my body basically. I use this just as people use their body lotion. Legs, Arms, Chest, Neck, Face. You can even use it on your hair.
Hair
If you leave it on your hair for 3-4 hours minimum and then wash out it will help to repair and keep your hair looking shiney/healthy. If you wash it out just the same as your normal shampoo/conditioner routine it will not feel greasy though I promise!, obviously you don't want to apply it as high as your roots/scalp area).
To give you a idea of my hair- I have naturally straight, fine, thin hair that has reasonably damaged areas, it doesn't make my hair greasy or way it down. I suggest girls with frizzy,thick or curly hair to try this it may help keep it smoothed and soothed.
Body
I apply this every night after a shower before I go to bed. Legs, heels, arms, chest, face. I use this as my face cream/moisturiser also at nightime (I do use an eye cream as well)
Daytime I tend to mix it about depending on how my skin is feeling. I will either apply the coconut oil or my body lotion (less chemicals the better) depending on my day/skin feels. I never use coconut oil as my moisturiser in the morning.
How does it work?
You get it in this glass tub, you can scoop it out with your fingers and rub it into your hands. Your body heat will quickly warm it into a clear oil. You can also put in the microwave to turn it into oil(I only tend to do this when I am using for my hair).
How does it feel on your skin?
Its an oil, so ofcourse it feels like oil. It does not have that greasy feel though like olive oil has for example. When I put it on my skin it feel light,silky smooth, if you were to rub your legs afterwards for example though you will get a little residue on your hands from touching it. It's very light weight and I honestly forget I have it on.
It doesn't looks shiney on my skin, it gives me a healthy glowy look.
Results?
My Skin - sensitive and dry/normal
Mostly my skin looks normal however time to time I get dry patches on my face very slightly and my legs tend to feel itchy alot! When I put this oil, the itchiness goes away and it helps hydrate my skin.
Recently I have had bad skin issues from breakouts to mild exzema is what it looks like on my neck/eye. I have tried from Eucerin eye cream, Garnier Moist Match, Aqueous Cream(for dry skin with little chemicals) and everything stings on those sensitive areas EXCEPT COCONUT OIL!!! Yes its that freeking fantastic! I am not even exagerating like us women tend to do. I have even noticed since I put the coconut oil on my eye it has soothed it out where it actually looks back to normal almost.
Keep in mind even when you have oily skin, you still don't want to remove oils from your body.
Where do you buy it?
I got mines off amazon, click here to buy.
I swear by this product it is natural, gives great results, healthy glowing skin, lasts for months as a little goes a longggg way!
Just try it and I honestly don't think you will regret it!, I have tried my fair share of creams from L'occtaine, Liz Earl, Eucerin, Garnier, Nivea, Soap & Glory.... and nothing ever compares from the results I get with this oil.
Just show's you don't have to go to the Clinique, Lancome, Chanel counter to get your skin fresh.
HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT!
