A few decades ago, people criticized coconut oil. It was considered to be a poor quality grease. However, we now know that it is a superfood, which is extremely good for people with all kinds of health problems.

In addition, it is an excellent beauty product for all skin types.

For example, extra virgin coconut oil deeply nourishes your skin. It prevents wrinkles and firms your skin, while balancing sebum production. In addition, it makes the skin wonderfully soft.

A nourishing oil for all skin types

• If you have very dry skin, you can combine coconut oil with almond or rosehip oil.
• If you are one of those people with oily skin, mix it with aloe vera gel. This mixture is also good for sensitive, combination and acne prone skin.

Citrus based essential oils

Citrus based essential oils are very good for you, such as:

• lemon
• orange
• tangerine
• grapefruit

Plus, they also have a wonderful, refreshing aroma.

Citrus based essential oils:

• refresh and revitalize your skin
• make your skin radiant and prevent and fight spots on your skin
• prevent acne and blemishes and make them lighter
• have a stimulating effect that improves your mood and helps against depression and stress

Warning

However, you should know that if your skin is exposed to sunlight, you should not use citrus-based essential oils. The reason for this is that these oils are light sensitive.

That’s why we recommend using this coconut citrus oil at night to improve skin regeneration and remove blemishes. You can also use the oil if you don’t go out in the sun.

Making coconut-citrus oil

Now we will explain how to make this nutritious coconut citrus oil.

Ingredients

• 200 ml extra virgin coconut oil
• 20 drops of essential oils from one or more citrus fruits, such as:
  • lemon
  • orange
  • tangerine
  • grapefruit

Note: You should use a  dark colored glass bottle so that the mixture retains its good properties.

How are you?

• To make this nutritious coconut citrus oil, put the ingredients in a bottle and shake it until well blended.
• However, keep in mind that the coconut oil will solidify if the temperature is below 23 degrees.

• In this case, melt it first in a bain-marie or by heating it briefly in the microwave. Watch carefully and don’t let it get too hot. Then add the essential oils.
• It then no longer matters whether it solidifies, because the oils are already combined into a coconut-citrus oil.

• You can apply it during the day when you are not out in the sun or when your skin is covered with clothing.
