HEALTH & BEAUTY
aha! this year i am going to talk about the gifts from the three kings and the fact that even then, way back when, oil was a top seller and a beauty product! Yes, that’s true. Frankincense was a perfume (in a resin like form) and, when perfume first started its journey to the sugary sweet sprays we use to today, the scent was blended in oil which acted as the carrier that allowed perfume to stay on your body. When the Egyptians were building the pyramids their wages included a measure of oil each day that they applied all over their body to act as protection and to moisturise the skin so it did not become uncomfortably dry under the sun’s rays. On the whole, we are distrustful of oils today and the idea of using them brings to mind tanning, greasy hair, oily patches on our faces and make-up that separates. Oil-free was the catch phrase for some time until it came full circle and now products containing oils are head line news. Where the oil comes from is a much used marketing
tool. If the oil can come from an exotic land and be harvested in a quirky way it gets bigger attention in the press than say regular olive oil. Argan oil used for centuries by women in Morocco has
now reached our shores. It is a great source of Vitamin E and antioxidants and is fantastic for skin, hair and nails. The truth is that oil is best for those with dry to
severely dry skin or hair. The application of it to the hair will replenish natural emollients, protect the hair from the sun’s damaging rays and repair the follicles to increase elasticity and shine. Coconut oil is very fashionable now with people making all kinds of claims about its potential. Coconut is antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal. It contains monolaurins and is naturally antiseptic so makes a great addition to any soap or body wash. Massage coconut oil over your body BEFORE a shower and take advantage of its ability to remove dead skin with its lauric acid. This fatty acid gently removes impurities without drying out the skin. Apply again after the shower to lock in moisture and ward off bacteria. A great treat for your hair to make it super shiny just in time for Christmas parties is to massage some coconut oil onto your scalp and leave it over night. In the morning put shampoo directly onto the scalp and massage in well to break down the oil before using water to rinse it away A dull fact about Christmas is that present wrapping
is drying to your hands as paper steals moisture from them AND all the extra washing up and food preparation means more time for your hands to be in water. It’s a disaster! these are drying times not only to the skin but also the nails. Find a coconut based hand cream and apply as often as you can. Rub some into your cuticles and nails if you can find the strength. Here’s wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy Trails for the New Year.
