Coconut oil 'could be a useful natural skin care treatment'
Those looking for extra natural skin care tips they can use in their day-to-day lives could be interested to discover that coconuts can have a key role to play.
Mimi Honeycutt, writing for the Examiner, has claimed that the fruit has a lot of potential for those intending to lead a healthier lifestyle.
She suggests that those looking to introduce it use coconut oil as a moisturiser, applying it topically to the skin.
In addition, it has a role to play in natural hair care as it can be applied to an individual's locks pre-wash.
She says that this will give it an additional shine and help the development of a healthy scalp.
Ms Honeycutt tells the news provider: "Hailed as a health saviour in some circles, derided as fat-laden canker in others, the coconut has seen every end of the nutritional spectrum."
Writer Albert Cain recently claimed that natural skin care ingredients are abundant in the wild and called on people to reduce the number of synthetic and manufactured chemicals they use.
