Loud-Brained Girl: skin care

I have been using expensive creams, medicines, soaps and all kinds of other special skin treatments for things such as acne, aging/wrinkles, dry skin and dishpan hands for my entire adult life. I have spent great amounts of money looking for solutions. As I’ve learned more about natural remedies, I have grown to love the benefits of Coconut Oil, Emu Oil and Vitamin E.

This blend of oils is my perfect skin solution! Each of the three oils is used to treat so many of the same skin problems.

This cream is great used as a daily face moisturizer and as a healing night cream.

Here are some of the things this blend helps:

.acne and acne scar prevention

.age spots, wrinkles, premature aging and sagging skin

.psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema, and other skin infections

.athletes foot and other fungi

.bruises, burns, sunburn relief and insect bites

.dry skin, fingernail cuticles and calluses

.itching, razor burns and skin rashes

.scars and stretch marks

.rosacea

It’s simple! You’ll need a small bowl or glass measuring cup and a mixer. I start by whipping the coconut oil for several minutes until it’s fluffy, then I mix the rest of the ingredients in. The recipe is simple:

2 parts coconut oil

2 parts vitamin E Cream

1 part Emu Oil

a few drops of your favorite essential oil (I use lemongrass for multiple reasons)

Since a little of this cream goes a long way, I make a small amount at a time.

For example:

2 tablespoons Coconut Oil

2 tablespoons Vitamin E Cream

1 tablespoon Emu Oil

a few drops Lemongrass Oil

Here are some facts about these oils:

.Emu Oil Studies have proven Emu Oil to be the fastest and most penetrating oil into the skin. See more about Emu Oil

.The small molecular structure of coconut oil allows for easy absorption through the skin, giving it a soft, smooth texture. See more about Coconut Oil

.Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties. See more about Vitamin E

.And my love of lemongrass is first, because I ADORE the smell, but there’s more.

Lemongrass is an anti-microbial and anti-bacterial herb. Lemongrass is also fungicidal. The herb also acts as an astringent, which constricts the skin. This helps to minimize pores, limit the secretions of oil and provide a temporary skin-firming treatment.
