Dr Organic - Organic virgin coconut oil, Monai moisture melt body oil (now thats a mouthful).
I suffer with really bad dry skin and eczema, it gets me so down especially when i get it on the face. After seeing doctors about it they always prescribe me with steroid cream and if any of you suffer with eczema you will know how bad this is and really thins out the skin. I wanted something natural to cure my eczema so after spending time researching i found out that apparently coconut oil works and that is when me and the above product met. This has literally been my holy grail product i purchased this around 4 months ago and have just under half left. You can buy this particular one from Holland & Barrett for around £9.00 or you can always order something similar on the net.
If you have been into HB you will know that they have like a whole section just on coconut oil like day creams, night creams, lip balm, shampoo, conditioner etc etc (the list goes on) I brought the Monai moisture melt body oil mainly for an all rounder because i get dry skin all over my body but it needed to be sensitive enough for my face.
I love the packaging also it makes it look extremely expensive and luxurious in a glass bottle. It comes in solid form which needs to be melted you can do this by putting it in a bowl of hot water, if i am having a bath i just pop it in there. Once i have had a bath/shower and the substance has melted down i apply a small amount into the dry/eczema areas do this for 3 nights running and my eczema has nearly gone! You could even add a few capfuls into the bath if your an oil kinda person instead of a bubble bath type, which makes your skin feel divine afterwards
This isn't just a product for people with dry skin though, you can use this product as a hair mask for dry dry hair and also to soak you nails into it. Although this product isn't edible, but if you just buy standard coconut oil you will have many more uses
Here are the benefits from using coconut oil if you manage to grab some:
1) Taken supplementally for daily energy. 2) Rubbed on lips as a natural chap stick
3) As an eye-makeup remover 4) A tiny dab rubbed on your hands and then through hair will help get rid of frizz 5) As an incredibly intensive natural conditioner- Rub into dry hair, put a shower cap on and leave for several hours. Read the rest of the uses HERE.
Have you used coconut oil before in any other way other than cooking? Let me know below, This product has been my all time favorite and i will definitely be repurchasing. Leigh xo
