Benefits of coconut and coconut milk for skin !!

COCONUT....I know know.......no need to tell introduction about coconut..but here is a small introduction ..it's a member of palm family.Coconuts are different from any other fruits because they contain a large quantity of "water" .coconut milk in particular is actually the liquid you get from pressing the white coconut meat (whereas coconut water is the water found waiting inside the coconut itself).The health benefits of coconut oil include hair care, skin care, stress relief, maintaining cholesterol levels, weight loss, increased immunity, proper digestion and more...

Today's topic is mainly the benefits of coconut for skin.There are three main products we can use from coconut..they are coconut oil,coconut milk and coconut water.i am using coconut oil from my childhood till now to my hair.it's my must have.especially i use parachute coconut oil which is a coconut oil brand available in INDIA.

In winters i apply coconut oil to my body before shower as it moistures my skin well.My grand mother use this as a massage oil,she is using coconut oil as a massage oil since many years.she told that it works better than any other oil.It acts as an effective moisturiser on all types of skins including dry skin.

The benefit of coconut oil on the skin is comparable to that of mineral oil,unlike mineral oil, there is no chance of having any side effects on the skin with the application of coconut oil. Coconut oil therefore is a safe solution for preventing dryness .coconut oil forms the basic ingredient of various body care products such as soaps, lotions, creams, etc., used for skin care. Coconut oil also helps in preventing degenerative diseases due to its antioxidant properties.

Coconuts are part of the daily diet of many people.Coconut milk is a healthy addition to your diet because It’s a healthy and dairy free food. Especially helpful for people who want to avoid dairy, are lactose intolerant, or have dairy allergies.coconut milk Is an effective skin cleanser and exfoliator.Helps blood vessels and skin stay elastic and flexible.Coconut milk, when used with cleansers can take away dirt and oil from the skin. It creates a clean, soft, and smooth complexion. Coconut milk salt scrubs gently exfoliate the top skin layer while leaving the next layer smooth and supple.Coconut milk has higher values of antioxidants – phenolic antioxidants, as compared to coconut oils. One reason for this is the fact that organic coconut growers plant coconut in soils rich in nutritional value. It makes your skin respond to the product making it more effective than diluted or chemically enhanced products. It is a fact that if you have sensitive skin, coconut milk is the suitable natural skin care  product for you.

Coconut oil makes an inexpensive replacement for lotion that replaces the oil barrier, kills germs, prevents ageing, soaks in quickly, and lasts for hours.Acne is one of the conditions that is most efficiently dealt with by coconut oil, and if you’re suffering from such problems on a regular basis, it can definitely be worth it to try some coconut oil solutions and see how they work for you.i really want to share one useful tip ...whenever u shave /epilate your skin..after that apply coconut oil to give yourself that smooth shave and not leave any ingrown hairs or other potential problems for the future.
