Coconut Oil to the Rescue

Winter has barely passed, and with it the issues of dry skin and cracked lips.

My little 8 moths old started having eczema like spots on her arms and legs a few months ago. I’ve tried various baby lotions and creams, and balms, and baby oil. But nothing seemed to work. Her skin kept getting more and more dry.

One day I was talking to my ‘mommy’ friend, and I asked her what she was using for her daughter. She told me she used a virgin coconut oil.

At first I was skeptical, but I decided why not? It’s natural, and it wouldn’t hurt my little munchkin any way. I have tested in on a little spot on her skin to make sure she wasn’t allergic. When there was no reaction, I started to apply the oil every time after her bath. 3 days later, her skin was as soft as a peach.

I was so happy with the results, I started using the oil on my own self. It’s amazing what it does to my face, when I put a little bit of oil under my eyes overnight. When I wake up in the morning my eyes don’t look as tired and the wrinkles under don’t look as deep as usually. I also use it as a lip balm, and I like it much more than the balms or chap sticks that I have from various brands and stores.

Besides, it smells soooo good (if you like coconut) that I want to eat my child every time I put the oil on her.

Happy Baby, Happy Mamma
