Tropical Tuesday..

I've been seeing a lot of posts about coconuts and all it's beauty and health benefits lately. From rich indulgent coconut water drinks to the coconut oil in particular. Now for me there's nothing new about it because it's one of those remedy oils every household generally has lying around somewhere. I like using natural beauty treatments wherever possible as it's au natural and affordable at times when your beauty budget isn't very forgiving. 
The oil is a rich, deeply nourishing consistency which is great to apply liberally after a hot shower or bath especially during winter when you tend to be a lot more dryer than usual. It's very hydrating and softens the skin all over.
It's also great for giving your misbehaved tresses some extra deep conditioning and leaves a lovely shine and fragrance which can have you thinking you're on an island in the Bahamas somewhere. I'm all for that bit of daydreaming.
It has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant benefits which is always a huge plus factor.
I personally wouldn't use too much in summer as it's does leave quite an oily residue which can be a bit uncomfortable during the hotter African heat waves and may also affect your sunscreen and UV protection.

So there you have some simple Tuesday tips..Indulge a bit and kick your hydrated feet up..make yourself a piña colada and pretend to enjoy the island breeze🌴🌴☀️🍹

Remember to DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU..xx
