Have you ever wondered how some people have such beautiful and glowing skin? I have asked myself so many times. I am part of a group where some information was shared about this so I decided to try. I have done this for a month and I am loving the results so far.
The ladies
were all about natural ways so the suggestions were to use homemade oils –
coconut oil, lemon oil and carrot oil. There are different ways of making the
oils but here are the methods I use to make my oils:
Coconut oil
-
Break
the hard peels off the coconut then grate or blend (which ever works for you)
-
Soak
in water for about an hour
-
Get
the coconut juice/milk out by kneading (for lack of a better word) in the water
-
Use
a sieve to extract the milk
-
Put
the milk in a fridge overnight
-
By
the next morning, the milk would have solidified, leaving the water underneath
-
Take
the milk out and put in a pan
-
Use
low heat while stirring to get the oil
-
The
oil will come to the top while the milk would have solidified and will remain
underneath
-
Sieve
the oil and out and throw remains away
-
Allow
to cool and voilà! You have your coconut oil
