My Recent Discovery for Glowing Skin
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
Carrot Oil
-
Grate
carrots, put in a jar then pour olive oil/coconut into it and store for three
to four days. Ensure that the jar is properly closed to avoid air getting in.
-
After
three days, pour everything in the jar into a pan and use low heat while stirring for seven to ten minutes, sieve and
your carrot oil will be ready
Lemon oil
-
Peel
lemon and cut lemon peels into small pieces, put in a jar, then pour
olive/coconut oil into it
-
Store
in a dark place for three to four days. Ensure that the jar is properly closed
to avoid air getting in.
- Pour everything in the jar into a pan over low heat and stir for seven to ten minutes, sieve and
you'll have your oil
After
making all three oils, I mixed a small amount of each to try. I have used the
mixture on my skin daily. My skin certainly shines and glows a lot more. It
seems more hydrated and the little dryness that was there previously seems to
have disappeared.
When I get
out of the shower, I do not dry my skin totally, I leave it to be slightly wet
then apply the oils, that way, moisture is trapped into my skin by the oil.
Please note
that if you are in the sun regularly, it might not do you good to use this mixture.
Know your skin type and if need be, use oils only when indoors, at night for
instance. My sister had to work on a project site for a week and the oils gave
her a good tan (hahahahaha). She was not only darker but was sun burnt. Apart from the being sun burnt, she has noticed that olive oil as base is not good for her skin as olive oil makes her darker, so
study your skin and see what works best for you.
One last
thing, don't kid yourself…drink a lot of water, stay hydrated, that shows
on your skin too!
