Ingredients:



  • Quality Coconut Oil

  
Method:
  1. Rub coconut oil on your skin as if it were body lotion
  2. Use daily



Why it works:

Coconut oil is rich in fatty acids: lauric, capric, caprylic, myristic, and palmitic. This combination of acids allows it to penetrate the skin better than other oils and moisturizers. It is able to moisturize even the deep layers of skin. It also provides long lasting moisturization because is full of nutrients such as vitamins A, C and E. This oil  is also antimicrobial and is abundant in natural antioxidants. 

  


Caution: Frequent massages with coconut oil promotes hair growth.
