Facial wrinkles are often the biggest nightmares for both men and women. Stress, lack of sleep and nutrients, exposure to chemicals, excessive use of cosmetics, certain diseases and medications are all factors contributing to the first appearance of skin wrinkles around the forehead, eyes and lips.

Importance of Coconut Oil In Daily Healthcare

The antioxidants present in coconut oil protect the skin from harmful effects of free radicals. It also contains antibacterial and antifungal properties that can help the skin to heal and rejuvenate itself. According to the latest research, coconut oil is rich in monolaurin (formed from lauric acid), which can help the body fight certain bacteria and viruses responsible for causing diseases like herpes and influenza. Moreover, with the use of coconut oil you can expect to stay safe from bacteria such as Giardia lamblia. When used as skin massage oil, coconut oil acts as an effective moisturizer.

When it comes to face acne, one of the main reason why coconut oil is very effective is due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Coconut oil penetrates deep into the skin, kills germs and bacteria and neutralizes the inflammation/pimples.

 
How Can Coconut Oil Help In Removing Wrinkles?

Wrinkles can occur anywhere on the body. It could be wrinkles around the mouth, on the forehead and under the eyes. There are several ways to reduce such wrinkles and using coconut oil is one of the safest and most efficient way to do it. Coconut oil boosts the production of collagen in the skin, which further stimulates the regeneration of tissues in the face. Collagen is a fibrous protein that binds the tissues of the skin. Just massage your face with coconut oil twice a day focusing more on the areas where wrinkles are present.

How To Use Coconut Oil For Wrinkles Treatment?

Generally, it is quite easy to use coconut oil for the treatment of wrinkles. Unlike other essential oils, there are no complex procedures involved. However, do not forget to buy a product that is organic, natural, unscented and has not passed its expiry date. Here’s how I use coconut oil for getting rid of wrinkles appearing on my face.

First, wash your face with cold water, especially the areas that are full of wrinkles. This will not only eliminate the dirt, but also facilitate the absorption of moisture provided by the coconut oil.

Second, make sure that you do not carry over any kind of makeup. Remove it before using coconut oil.

Third, wash your hands thoroughly before using the oil. Massage very gradually and gently on wrinkles and give your skin enough time to absorb oils. Follow this routine every night before bedtime.

Recipes And Benefits Of Using Coconut Oil

Coconut oil, fruit and honey mask for face and forehead wrinkles

Fruits like papaya, apple and pineapple are loaded with nutrients and antioxidants that help fight wrinkles and other signs of aging. In order to make a facial mask, crush one ripe papaya fruit and take half cup of its pulp. Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of honey. Apply the mask to your cleansed face and forehead and let it dry for at least 20 minutes. Moisten your face with water and gently massage with your fingers. Finally, wash your face with lukewarm water.

Use this mask up to three times a week. Do not hesitate to replace the ripe papaya with other fresh fruits such as banana, pineapple, apple and watermelon. I personally feel that it is more interesting to experiment with two or three fruits in your facial mask compared to using just one fruit.

Coconut oil, egg white and almond flour mask for under eye wrinkles

Egg is a natural skin whitener and anti-wrinkle agent extremely good at eliminating fine lines. It is loaded with potassium, magnesium and proteins that can repair damaged skin tissues. Additionally, it hydrates and moisturizes the skin. Almond flour removes excess sebum and dead skin cells.

Take one egg white, add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and sufficient amount of almond flour to form a thick paste. Apply the mask on the face and under the eyes and leave for 15 minutes to dry. Rub gently (especially around the eyes) to remove the pack, and finally rinse with fresh water. Follow this regimen on every alternate day.
