Skin Benefits of Coconut Oil





Skin Benefits of Coconut Oil

Skin Benefits of Coconut Oil

Using coconut oil on your skin can be the difference between flaky, dry skin, and soft, glowing skin, as this oil is known for its moisturizing benefits. Widely used in skin creams, soaps and lotions for its effectiveness in fighting dry skin, coconut oil also helps to sooth various other types of skin conditions.





Moisturizing, Antiaging and Antiviral Properties

Coconut oil is a powerful moisturizer that is beneficial to restoring dry or flaking skin. Unlike your average moisturizer that contains a lot of water and likely synthetic ingredients, coconut oil helps to strengthen skin tissue more deeply and eliminate dead skin cells while absorbing quickly into your skin.

Coconut oil also helps to delay the occurrence of wrinkles because it contains antioxidant Vitamin E, known to protect skin cells from damage over time. The Vitamin E found in coconut oil soothes eczema, sunburn and psoriasis, and its antiviral and antifungal benefits even help to treat bug bites.
Coconut oil contains 3 fatty acids: capric acid, lauric acid and caprylic acid. Each of these acids kill candida, a common cause of fungal infection on your skin.
Our skin is naturally made up of oils, making it immediately receptive to this light, non-greasy face oil, which acts like a serum, to hydrate for over 12 hours. With only a few drops that are quickly absorbed, this unique fusion of african ingredients invigorates, evens tone and reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles for naturally healthy radiance and more youthful-looking skin.

Nyakio’s family secret: Nyakio’s namesake paternal grandmother shared her beauty philosophy of the energizing and invigorating benefits of caffeine.

 The use of oils in skincare has been part of Nyakio's family rituals for generations. Nyakio’s medicine man, maternal grandfather was a farmer who would gather plants, fruits and nuts from his farm and extract the oils to treat and condition the skin.

Argan Oil Benefits for Skin, Hair and Body.

What is Argan Oil?

Argan oil is pressed from the nut of the fruit of the Argan Tree, which is only found in Morocco. The argan tree lives to be about 150 to 200 years old and does not start producing the fruit until it is 30 to 50 years old. Because the tree is found only in a limited area, the oil itself is quite rare.Cruet and glass of Moroccan argan oil - Laura Johansen/Photodisc/Getty Images

What do Goats Have to Do With it?

Morocco's mountain goat, called the Tamri goat, eats the fruit of the Argan tree. The goats literally climb the tree to get to the nut. Sometimes ten or more at a time in one tree. For a tree that only grows to be about 35 feet tall, that's a lot of goats.

The argan oil producers would take the droppings of the goats, which had the seed completely undigested, and use that to produce the argan oil. While we're sure that is still practiced today, we are hearing that some argan oil producers  are producing the oil without the help of goats.

Argan Oil as a Food

Argan oil is nutty tasting oil that is good for sprinkling in salads, dipping bread in and used in many dishes. Here are a few recipes that include argan oil.
  • This Moroccan tagine recipe calls for argan oil, a light, nutty oil which is exclusive to Morocco. While the argan oil imparts a unique flavor, olive oil or walnut oil can also be used. Beef or goat meat may be substituted for the lamb.tagine-lamb-olives-argan-825-x-680.jpg - Photo © Christine Benlafquih
    Tagine of Lamb and Olives is best prepared in a traditional Moroccan tagine (use a diffuser if cooking stovetop), but good results can be achieved by slow-cooking in a heavy-bottomed pot. Avoid high heat when cooking with argan or walnut oil.
    Scoop up the tagine with Moroccan bread, and try serving it with Belgian French Fries heaped on top.

Home Remedies.

How’s your September looking ladies? Hope you have been enjoying (or at least trying to) this delayed monsoon that is leaving us all drenched and I hope my blog series on how to get through this season flawlessly helped guide you with your monsoon skin & hair troubles. Its time yet again for another Monday blog and today happens to be the day for one of my blog topics that has become increasingly popular. Two months ago I decided to focus on some of the best make up brands I have come accross to date. Now what I aim to do with these blogs is one, to educate you in the world of buying make up & two, to give you the perfect starter kit for every make up brand out there.bann

The past few blogs focused on what we call “drug store” make up brands, which simply means brands like Maybelline – ones that are easily available and easy affordable. Designer make up brands are especially hard to come by in Pakistan and even if you do manage to find yourself a make up counter that sells brands like MAC and Bobbi Brown, there is often the question whether the product is original or fake. Nonetheless today we are gonna focus on getting you started on your MAC make up. You might not be able to find authentic MAC products in Pakistan so easily, but considering the boom of social media there are a ton of online/Facebook stores that are now importing designer make up & though a little costly, MAC is one make up line that is completely worth it. One of the biggest names in make up, MAC aims to satisfy the make up client to its fullest. They have a range of some of the best foundations, concealers, lip sticks, lip glosses and blushes out there, so today I’m picking my top 5 favourite MAC products that can also be your perfect first step to a MAC starter kit.

1. MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation/Studio Fix Fluid Foundation


Now before I go and recommend this, I do have to tell you that foundation is one of the trickiest more hardest products to pick out and use in the make up business. Something that might suit me, might not suit your skin at all or something that looks good on one person might totally ruin someone elses complexion. So before you buy a foundation, try somehow to give it a test. Now these two are my favourite MAC foundations and they make your skin look flawless! Its almost like you airbrushed or magically painted on a flawless face. Nonetheless I still recomment you try it before you buy it.
TIP: Always test foundation colour on your collar bone/chest area – that is the only place your complexion remains its true colour.

2. MAC Pearl Glide Intense Eyeliners 


One of the most long lasting and well pigmented eye liners you will try because you can trust a make up magnate to get your most favourite products just right. These go on creamy, almost gel like and will smudge the least despite any kind of skin or weather conditions. My favourite shade is “Undercurrent” or the classic “Black Line”.

3. MAC Lipstick


Whether you go for a Matte or Glossy you can NEVER go wrong with a MAC lipstick. Some of the longest lasting, most daring shades I have ever used – you can literally buy any shade of MAC lipstick and never be unhappy with it. Mix their matte lipstick with a gloss or just use their gloss finish – these are the lipsticks you can literally trust with your life! Here are some of my favourite shades: Ruby Woo, Russian Red, Myth, Creme Cup, Hug me, Ronnie Red, Maleficent’s “True Loves Kiss”.

4. MAC Powder Blush


Again one of the products you can trust from MAC, whether you buy their mineralize kaleidoscope blush or a single shade, you will soon fall in love. I will cheat and add their bronzer to this category too. My favourite ones if you want to find them are: Dollymix & Eversun.

5. MAC Fix + Rosewater 


One of my most favourite products to come from MAC is their refreshing make up fixer. This little spray does nothing more than set your make up once your done and I prefer the one with rose water because it leaves you feeling fresh and silky! If you won’t invest in anything else, definitely invest in this – it finishes over your make up once your done and basically it is supposed to keep your make up set throughout the day.

I hope you enjoyed my brand spotlight on MAC and though it is really hard to pick just 5 products of a make up brand that I love so dearly, I had to give it a shot for you ladies who might want to start a MAC collection. In other products I enjoy their mascara’s and dazzle lip glass for a shimmery lip a lot too. One other thing I wanted to address through this blog is the fact that sometimes people will write to me to say how a beauty or make up product I suggested ended up being horrible, so for this ladies as I mentioned before every individuals skip type is different, so despite you telling me what type of skin you have I might recommend a product that might not work for you, so it is essential you try every product before you add it permanently to your routine and although this technique might mean you are wasting money sometimes, it is essential for the health of your beauty and skin. Despite that all I hope to do is to make your make up and skin routine as flawless as it can be.

grains oatmeal bowl with strawberriesThe amount of grains you need to eat depends on your age, sex, and level of physical activity. Recommended daily amounts are listed in the chart. Most Americans consume enough grains, but few are whole grains. At least half of all the grains eaten should be whole grains.


What Foods Are in the Grains Group?


Examples include:whole wheat bread sliced

Any food made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley or another cereal grain is a grain product. Bread, pasta, oatmeal, breakfast cereals, tortillas, and grits are examples of grain products.
Grains are divided into 2 subgroups, Whole Grains and Refined Grains.
Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel ― the bran, germ, and endosperm.

  • brown riceRefined grains have been milled, a process that removes the bran and germ. This is done to give grains a finer texture and improve their shelf life, but it also removes dietary fiber, iron, and many B vitamins. Some examples of refined grain products are:White bread
    • white flour
    • de-germed cornmeal
    • white bread
    • white rice
    • Most refined grains are enriched. This means certain B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron are added back after processing. Fiber is not added back to enriched grains. Check the ingredient list on refined grain products to make sure that the word "enriched" is included in the grain name. Some food products are made from mixtures of whole grains and refined grains.
  • whole-wheat flour
  • bulgur (cracked wheat)
  • oatmeal
  • whole cornmeal

What Foods Are in the Protein Foods Group?

All foods made from meat, poultry, seafood, beans and peas, eggs, processed soy products, nuts, and seeds are considered part of the Protein Foods Group. Beans and peas are also part of the Vegetable Group. For more information on beans and peas, see Beans and Peas Are Unique Foods.

Select a variety of protein foods to improve nutrient intake and health benefits, including at least 8 ounces of cooked seafood per week. Young children need less, depending on their age and calorie needs. The advice to consume seafood does not apply to vegetarians. Vegetarian options in the Protein Foods Group include beans and peas, processed soy products, and nuts and seeds. Meat and poultry choices should be lean or low-fat.


Any vegetable or 100% vegetable juice counts as a member of the Vegetable Group. Vegetables may be raw or cooked; fresh, frozen, canned, or dried/dehydrated; and may be whole, cut-up, or mashed.
tomatoes Based on their nutrient content, vegetables are organized into 5 subgroups: dark green vegetables, starchy vegetables, red and orange vegetables, beans and peas, and other vegetables.

Build a healthy plate

Before you eat, think about what goes on your plate or in your cup or bowl. Foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and lean protein foods contain the nutrients you need without too many calories. Try some of these options.
  • Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.
  • Switch to skim or 1% milk.
  • Make at least half your grains whole.
  • Vary your protein food choices.
  • Keep your food safe to eat - learn more at www.FoodSafety.gov.

Cut back on foods high in solid fats, added sugars, and salt

Many people eat foods with too much solid fats, added sugars, and salt (sodium). Added sugars and fats load foods with extra calories you don't need. Too much sodium may increase your blood pressure.
  • Choose foods and drinks with little or no added sugars.
  • Look out for salt (sodium) in foods you buy - it all adds up.
  • Eat fewer foods that are high in solid fats.

Eat the right amount of calories for you

Everyone has a personal calorie limit. Staying within yours can help you get to or maintain a healthy weight. People who are successful at managing their weight have found ways to keep track of how much they eat in a day, even if they don't count every calorie.
  • Enjoy your food, but eat less.
  • Cook more often at home, where you are in control of what's in your food.
  • When eating out, choose lower calorie menu options.
  • Write down what you eat to keep track of how much you eat.
  • If you drink alcoholic beverages, do so sensibly - limit to 1 drink a day for women or to 2 drinks a day for men.

Be physically active your way

Pick activities that you like and start by doing what you can, at least 10 minutes at a time. Every bit adds up, and the health benefits increase as you spend more time being active.

Note to parents: What you eat and drink and your level of physical activity are important for your own health, and also for your children's health.

You are your children's most important role model. Your children pay attention to what you do more than what you say.

You can do a lot to help your children develop healthy habits for life by providing and eating healthy meals and snacks. For example, don't just tell your children to eat their vegetables - show them that you eat and enjoy vegetables every day.

Why is it Important to Eat Fruit?




  • Health BenefitsFruit basket

    • Eating a diet rich in vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet may reduce risk for heart disease, including heart attack and stroke.
    • Eating a diet rich in some vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet may protect against certain types of cancers.
    • Diets rich in foods containing fiber, such as some vegetables and fruits, may reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
    • Eating vegetables and fruits rich in potassium as part of an overall healthy diet may lower blood pressure, and may also reduce the risk of developing kidney stones and help to decrease bone loss.
    • Eating foods such as fruits that are lower in calories per cup instead of some other higher-calorie food may be useful in helping to lower calorie intake.




  • NutrientsGrapefruit

    • Most fruits are naturally low in fat, sodium, and calories. None have cholesterol.
    • Fruits are sources of many essential nutrients that are underconsumed, including potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and folate (folic acid).
    • Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure. Fruit sources of potassium include bananas, prunes and prune juice, dried peaches and apricots, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and orange juice.
    • Dietary fiber from fruits, as part of an overall healthy diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease. Fiber is important for proper bowel function. It helps reduce constipation and diverticulosis. Fiber-containing foods such as fruits help provide a feeling of fullness with fewer calories. Whole or cut-up fruits are sources of dietary fiber; fruit juices contain little or no fiber.
    • Vitamin C is important for growth and repair of all body tissues, helps heal cuts and wounds, and keeps teeth and gums healthy.
    • folate (folic acid) helps the body form red blood cells. Women of childbearing age who may become pregnant should consume adequate folate from foods, and in addition 400 mcg of synthetic folic acid from fortified foods or supplements. This reduces the risk of neural tube defects, spina bifida, and anencephaly during fetal development.
