BENEFITS OF COCONUT OIL IN COLLABORATION WITH BIOCOCOOIL

Hey guys! how are we all doing?? Long time no Health tips / Beauty post. Been concentrating more on the fashion segment as thats my strong hold but here’s the good news, I’m back with another health/beauty post. I’ll be talking about coconut oil which has so many health and beauty benefits.
Coconut oil is an edible oil extracted from the kernel or meat of mature coconuts harvested from the coconut palm.
So, I was sent this oil by a Nigerian – Organic brand named Biococooil. Biococooil is a start-up brand that produces coconut oil. The oils are extracted from Africa’s fresh and healthy breed of coconuts by applying heat to the coconuts.
This post is to create awareness on this Nigerian brand and also help y’all understand some benefits of the oil.

When my package arrived, I unboxed on my insta story and my fav thing about unboxing was the packaging. Wow! the packaging was too good to be true. It was well packaged to represent something from Africa. If I walk into a store and see this bottle, i’ll definitely buy it because of the packaging and most importantly because its coconut oil. The recommended dosage/intake of virgin coconut oil is about 3-4 table spoons per day.

BEAUTY BENEFITS OF COCONUT OIL

• Body Moisturizer : Coconut oil is rich in fatty acids which makes it an effective moisturizer and it absorbs quickly. It also makes you glow.
• Makeup Remover: I totally agree with this. Most times, I apply coconut oil on my face and lips especially when I have lot of makeup and a stubborn lipstick on. The moment I use my face wipes on my face and lips, its easier to remove the makeup.
• Face Moisturizer: Coconut oil can be used on the face to moisturize and also works as a primer which helps soften the skin before applying makeup on.
• Dandruff Treatment: We know one of the reasons why some people have dandruff is as a result of dry scalp so applying coconut oil to the scalp adds moisture right to your roots and this also helps to stimulate hair growth.
• As a Deep Conditioner: Lots of hair conditioners contain coconut oil because its able to penetrate hair and prevent protein loss.
• Face Scrub: Just like we try honey with sugar, coconut oil mixed with sugar also works well to exfoliate the skin.
• As a Tooth paste: This is something I’m going to try with this coconut oil. I’ve heard so many people talk about how awesome it is using coconut oil with baking soda for whiter teeth.
• Helps to fight Acne: Coconut oil is high in medium-chain fatty acids that have been shown to kill the acne-causing bacteria.

I have tried some of these even before I was sent this oil and they actually work. As a matter of fact, coconut oil has been part of my skin and hair routine right from way back. I just took a break and decided to focus more on my hair since its natural.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF COCONUT OIL

• Weight Loss: Coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids which helps boost metabolism faster than the long chain fatty acids as they are easier to digest and convert into energy.
• Fights Infection: Coconut oil contains auric acid which is transformed within the body to monolaurin a substance that is very toxic to viruses, bacteria and fungi.
• Helps with Diabetes: Majority of us consume sugary foods for that burst of energy and this habit can lead to diabetes. Coconut oil is a quick energy producer that can be substituted with sugar in the diet and this can help prevent or delay the onset of this disease.
• Some studies have shown that coconut oil aids in the absorption of calcium and magnesium which strengthens bones.
• Virgin coconut oil is the best oil for cooking as its chemical properties are not damaged by heating. It contains saturated oil and even when used for frying, it keeps all its beneficial properties.

Thats all for now guys! I’ll really love to hear from y’all especially if you have used coconut oil or currently using it. You can purchase your coconut oil from BIOCOCOOIL and also follow on instagram. Thanks so much for visiting and see y’all in my next post. cheers!
