Chic-Shuk Secrets

I don’t know about you, but it is really hard these days (or too expensive…) to find an ecologically friendly, high quality AND natural ingredients cosmetic products.  When it comes to the basic self spa treatment like body lotion, I would like to share with you, readers, the simplest, healthy, home made lotion, using %100 percent pure coconut oil. The reason I choose  coconut oil to treat my skin, is since it is well known as an excellent massage oil, it acts effectively on all types of skins like mineral oil but with no adverse side effects, and is a safe, healthy solution for preventing dryness, delays wrinkles, sagging of skin and other skin problems! LOVE IT, and strongly recommended trying:

Refrigerate one cup of any kind of cold pressed organic coconut oil (huge attention to the `cold pressed` part!) for several hours, till gets solid, and you are ready to go! grab some with a table spoon, warm it up using your palms rub your skin and improve its condition!!! 

Baby Oil holds many skin care benefits and you don’t really have to have a baby at home in order to buy and use this skin nutritious product. Baby Oil Locks in up to ten times more moisture on wet skin than an ordinary lotion can on dry skin, it can soothe and relieve dry, rough patches and leave skin glowing, silky and soft all day long.

Baby oil was discovered long time ago and is a staple of many Hollywood makeup artists. They use it to make their client’s skin feel silky and to soften rough knees, elbows and ankles. They use it to make legs shimmer with sun kissed looks, and they use it to make eye sparkle by putting a touch on their eyelids.

Celebrities who are fans of Baby Oil products are Uma Thurman, Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow!

You may find this surprising,  however, eating dark chocolate holds several Health Benefits AND Beauty Secrets :

A 12 weeks German study, which examined women who downed a cocoa-rich drink daily (equivalent of 3.5 ounces of Dark Chocolate), shows they experienced less dryness. Their skin had better blood flow which pinks the cheeks, and was even more resistant to Sun Damage, thanks to the Antioxidants! WOW… 

Chocolate is made from plants, which means it contains many of the health benefits of dark vegetables. Dark chocolate contains a large number of antioxidants (nearly 8 times the number found in strawberries!), help relax blood pressure through the production of nitric oxide, balance certain hormones in the body and even helps reduce the risk of diabetes.

I guess now we can stop feeling bad about eating Chocolate! (As long as it is DARK…)
