Beauty Uses Of Coconut Oil

Hello ladies, 

Did you'll know coconut oil is used in many natural beauty products and for good reason. It's naturally antibacterial and anti fungal, plus it is an excellent moisturizer. So read on to know how to use this ordinary product in extraordinary ways.

Makeup remover - Even the most resistant waterproof mascara doesn't stand a chance against coconut oil. Apply it directly to the face as an oil cleanser or let it sit on your skin with a cotton pad. Makeup will melt away.

Breath Freshener. Coconut oil has antifungal and antibacterial properties. Gargling for 20 minutes with a spoonful of oil (a.k.a. oil pulling) can help clear up germs in the mouth, leading to fresher breath, whiter teeth, and healthier gums.

Body Lotion. If you're into beauty DIYs, then coconut oil is a vanity essential. You can use this versatile oil as the base to make your own body moisturizer.

Cuticle Oil. Got cracked cuticles? Remedy peeling skin with a coconut oil balm right at the base of nails. It can also help your manicure last longer.

Makeup-Brush Cleaner. Cleaning your makeup brushes should be a monthly ritual. You can use a DIY cleanser that's two parts antibacterial soap and one part coconut oil.

Lip Balm. Coconut oil is the ideal remedy for chapped lips especially because it's semisolid at room temperature. Pack a bit in a miniature jar and smooth over lips throughout the day.

Stretch-Mark Cream. Expectant moms should keep a jar of coconut oil nearby to help ward off stretch marks, but anyone can use this as a topical treatment for scars. While the oil won't fade any marks, it can help prevent dark spots and blisters from forming.

Under-eye Cream. Use a dab of coconut oil on under eye bags and fine lines. It's light enough for the most delicate skin on your face.

Body Scrub. Mix half a cup of coconut oil with a handful of coarse salt or sugar to create an exfoliator. The moisturizing oil will last long after the grains have melted away.

Frizz Tamer. Flyaways begone with this smoothing treatment. Just rub a dime-size amount in your hands and smooth from mid-shaft to ends for frizz-free style that's high on shine.

Massage Oil. Warm coconut oil in the microwave and add a few drops of an essential oil, like lavender or peppermint, for a soothing massage mix.

Whitening Toothpaste. Run out of toothpaste? Grab the closest jar of coconut oil and add baking soda for a quick fix. Everyone will wonder how you got such a white smile.

Shaving Cream. Use coconut oil as a base to get a closer shave that leaves legs smooth instead of dried out. You can also use it alone or with other ingredients in this DIY shave-cream recipe.

Dandruff Treatment. Dandruff and dry scalp go hand in hand. So send moisture right to the roots with a nightly coconut oil treatment. Just apply lightly to roots and massage in, which will also stimulate hair growth.

Body Oil. Why purchase a separate body oil when you can keep coconut oil near the bath? Just slather it on wet skin after the shower, then pat dry. You'll smell like a beach vacation all day. Plus, it has a natural SPF 4.

Itch Relief. Burns, bug bites, and bruises can all be soothed with a topical balm of coconut oil.

Deep Conditioner. You can use hot coconut oil as a preshampoo treatment to soothe dry hair before you shampoo and condition. Leave in for at least an hour for an allover moisturizing treatment. You can also use it as a leave-in conditioner by applying a small amount to wet strands to seal in moisture.

Night Cream. Apply coconut oil at night for maximum moisturizing benefits. The antioxidants are great for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles while you sleep.

Deodorant. Yes, you can make your own natural deodorant at home (and it works). Mix coconut oil with arrowroot powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and a scented oil for a DIY odor fix.

Highlighter - Simply sweep a small amount of organic coconut oil on top of makeup and leave it alone. It looks like your skin but with added glow, which is why many natural makeup brands use it as a base ingredient in their formulas.

Skin Care Tips In Summer!

It’s that time of the year when temperatures are soaring and the humidity starts to reflect on your face. As you plan to enjoy these sunny days, it’s important that you also protect your skin from over exposure to UV rays that can cause ‘dark spots’. 

Here are some simple tricks to beat the heat and look spotless this summer:

Hydrate your skin – Good skin requires an intake of at least two litres of water every day. However, summer demands more. Increase your daily intake of H20 and feel the difference. Better still, add a slice of citrus for fruit-infused water that is rich in anti- oxidants too

Go Green – A nutritious and well balanced diet is a pre-requisite for radiant skin. Fruits and vegetables are loaded with anti-oxidants that protect skin from damage caused by free radicals and sun exposure.

Cleanse daily – Pollution, sun’s rays, and heat all result in clogged pores and dull skin. Cleanse your face twice a day with a mild cleanser to wash away the grime and dirt. But, do remember to moisturize generously once you are through with the cleansing

Moisturize with SPF – Another very important way to achieve flawless luminous skin is by using specially crafted creams that are designed to protect and maintain the radiance of your skin. The Pond’s White Beauty Fairness Cream with SPF 15 PA++ helps to brighten skin and reduce dark spots and dark circles. Made with Spot Removal Technology Pro-Vitamin B3, the cream penetrates deep within the layers of the skin and reduces melanin transfer to the upper layers.

Bollywood actress, Ileana D’cruz shares her views on sun protection, “Prolonged exposure to the sun, often left my skin looking tired and dull. With regular use of Pond’s White Beauty Fairness Cream, I’ve seen a visible change in my skin. I love the light texture of the cream and my skin looks spot-less and radiant from within.”

Now unblock your inner glow with Pond’s White Beauty Fairness Cream, available in all leading stores across the country. Pond’s White Beauty Fairness Cream is available in 35 gm for Rs. 125 and 50 gm for Rs. 199
