The Benefits of Using Coconut Oil

Hey everyone! I have been using Coconut Oil now for a few years now and wanted to share with you some benefits as well as some interesting uses of this multi-tasking miracle worker!

I usually use my coconut oil in my hair as a hair mask overnight. I comb my hair, liquify the product in my hands by creating friction, and I then apply it to my entire head of hair including my scalp. I also used to use this as a makeup remover and it works quite well!

Benefits:

- High in Natural Saturated Fats

- Increases the Healthy Cholesterol (HDL) in your body

- Help convert bad cholesterol (LDL) into good cholesterol 

- Can help lower your risk of getting Heart Disease

- Helps reduce inflammation

- Increases your metabolism

- Can improve digestion and immunity

- It can help curb your appetite

- There are anti-aging properties 

Uses:

- Hair (to condition with, help protect against damage, anti-dandruff and to help fight frizz)

- As a makeup remover

- On your cuticles

- In-place of a lotion to moisturize your skin

- Can shave with it

- Soften cracked heels

- As a lip balm

- To cook with

There are many other benefits as well as uses from Coconut Oil that I have not listed here. I strongly encourage you to read up on them because this is truly a wonderful and inexpensive item to have on hand at all times! Also, if you have acne-prone skin, I would not suggest using this product to remove your makeup because it is quite high ranking in at a 4 on the chart. It can end up causing blemishes on your skin and can even clog your pores. However if you have used this in the past and it does work for you in-general, then do what you feel is right for your skin.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY

DIY Coffee Scrub

Hey everyone! I absolutely love how this coffee scrub came out! My inspiration came from Pinterest, however I made it my own and fine-tuned it to my liking by adjusting the measurements. Coffee is an amazing natural exfoliator, coconut oil will give your skin the moisture that it needs and it also softens the skin. Brown sugar smells great and can help with cellulite.

You Will Need:

These are the measurements that I used and I did like how it came out. I do recommend that you liquify the coconut oil before putting it in the bowl.

This is how it looks when everything is mixed together.

I took the mixture that I created and transferred it into a mason jar.

The final product!

Until next time,

My Current Go-To Sheet Masks | The Face Shop |

Hey everyone! I have been using sheet masks now for a few years and want to give you some information on them! They are very convenient and you can take them when you travel because they will fit into your carry-on or purse no problem! If you are feeling brave, you can even use them on the plane to add that moisture into your skin that the airplane depletes your skin of.

 I have been particularly liking the sheet masks from The Face Shop recently because: they are affordable (the ones pictured above are only $2.00 CAD,) there are a wide variety to choose from, each one serves a purpose for the skin (i.e.. illuminating, moisturizing, etc...) and they are very easy to use as they even have directions on the back of the package.

I use these after I have washed my face. I usually use a nose strip, tone my face and then go in with one of these sheet masks from The Face Shop. You leave it on for 10-15 minutes and then you  discard the mask into the trash. You will notice that there is leftover 'essence' on your face. You do not want to wash that off your face, instead, you pat it into your face to let your skin absorb those beneficial ingredients. I then go in with an under eye cream and go to bed. I generally use a sheet mask once a week.

I have been really getting great results from using these sheet masks as they have definitely helped my skin look more refreshed and awake. They have even helped me deal with some of my pimples! I have been giving away these amazing sheet masks to my friends as gifts because they worked so well for me and want them to have this great experience too! Of course there are a wide variety of sheet masks from various brand names that serve different purposes, but these sheet masks from The Face Shop have been my favourite as of lately.

I have not yet used this 3-Step Programming Kit. Let me know if you have used it and what results you received! The packaging is rather large as you can see in the photo above when my hand is used to show how wide the packaging really is.

I featured this in my September Empties | 2016 blog post!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.
