SG DIY: COCONUT BODY BUTTER

Body butter is one of the best DIY skin care remedies, as it is creamy and soothing to your skin. This coconut oil-based one will make your skin absolutely glowing. Coconut oil contains healthy fats that are great for your skin. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help with puffiness.

This moisturizing cream has only 2 ingredients and is appropriate for anywhere on the body. The addition of lime makes this smell amazing, and adds some vitamin C and antioxidants that are great for clearing the skin.

Ingredients:

½ cup Coconut oil

15 drops of lime oil (or your favourite essential oil; you can try fresh lime juice too)

Directions:

Whisk the solid coconut oil in your mix-master, electric whisk or stick blender.

When it starts to soften add the lime or essential oil drops and keep mixing until nicely whipped.

Label it and take note of the best by date on the coconut oil bottle.

It’s best not to apply things with citrus oils to the skin before going out into the sun, as they can make the skin more photo-sensitive.

Store the oil in a cool, dark place.

Victoria Beckham came out to discuss how she was bullied back in school while attending a public school while she covers the March edition of Allure Magazine . The designer and fashion icon looked beautiful in a close up shot where she opened up about how she works, her dreams, beauty routine, juggling business with family amongst other things. The former spice girl dished on designing for 'real women' “I find that even the simplest of dresses, if it has the correct seaming and the correct fabric, whatever shape or size you are, it can change the way you hold yourself.” Later on in the year, her first brick-and-mortar store will open in London, allowing customers “to see the brand through my eyes, as opposed to being able to buy what the retail partner buys. The buyer will be what I decide.” On growing up : “I didn’t go to a private school; it was a public school. It was not a very nice school.” “ I was different from all the other children at the sch...

THIS MAY SAVE YOUR HAIRLINE

A lot of people complain about thin or thinning edges/hairline. A small tip, which may go some way in helping to keep edges thriving is to use pH, which simply put is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a substance. The scalp has an acid mantle, meaning that it is covered by “a very fine, slightly acidic film on the surface of the skin acting as a barrier to bacteria, viruses and other potential contaminants that might penetrate the skin” 1 . This means that for the scalp to thrive, it should be at a pH of about 4.5 and 6.2. Luckily, the sebaceous glands secrete this acidic film so it occurs naturally. When we wash our faces, we use an alkaline soap or cleanser. A lot of times, when a barrier of some sort, such as a shower cap is not used, some of this soap or the resulting foam lands smack on the hair line and will stay there until rinsed off…if rinsed it off properly. This disturbs the natural pH of that area of the scalp. Think about it this way: When we shampoo,...
