My face is usually clear but I am
very self conscience of my arms because of my keratosis pilaris (skin condition
in which a protein in the skin called keratin forms hard plugs within hair
follicles). It causes small bumps that look like "goose bumps" on my
upper arms. Years ago a dermatologist prescribed me with a medicated lotion but
I didn't notice a difference so I stopped using it. Plus, it smelled terrible!
The bumps and redness remained...
Recently, I discovered that COCONUT
OIL may be used to heal keratosis pilaris...so I bought a jar! On the label it
listed that the oil may also be used as hair conditioner, skin moisturizer,
cooking oil and as a dietary supplement-right out of the jar. After doing a bit
of research online, I found out that coconut oil may be used for all kinds of
purposes!
Just to name a few:
- Homemade toothpaste (it also whitens teeth!)
- Deodorant
- Face and body moisturizer
- Homemade Bar soap
- Homemade shampoo
- Dandruff relief and lice treatment
- Kills bacteria that cause ulcers, throat infections, urinary tract infections, gum diseases, and other bacterial infections if consumed in small quantities
- Natural anti-inflammatory
- Replace cooking oil with coconut oil in the kitchen
- Replacement for Crisco or butter in recipes like pie or pastry crust
- Coconut oil can also be used to sauté veggies and other food
- Coconut oil is also available scentless and tasteless
