COCONUT CURES! - benefits of coconut oil

Coconut Cures

I don't know about you but I'm coco for coconut oil! There are so many benefits to using coconut oil not just in everyday products but also incorporating it into your everyday nutrient intake makes such a huge difference! 

Here at Le Reve we carry a handful of products that incorporate the hydrating and nutritiously rich benefits of coconut oils. One of my personal favorite is our Eminence Organic Coconut Cream Masque. This ultra-hydrating masque nourishes your skin with coconut milk, oil and chunks of ripe coconut; leaving your skin feeling firm, smooth and more youthful! I usually follow it up with our Eminence Coconut Age Corrective Moisturizer for an even deeper hydration. This dual action delivers instant firming and tightening plus long term collagen boosting effects! 

Now lets turn coconut oil into a lifestyle! Coconut oil itself has been proven to help support healthy weight loss, healthy cholesterol, immune health and supports skin & hair health! I personally incorporate coconut oil in almost all of my home cooked meals. Its high percent of Medium Chain Fatty Acids decreases 'cravings' and helps coat the stomach for protection and healthy weight management. In short, the fats in coconut oil produce energy; whereas other dietary fats produce fat. 

Now how could you not be obsessed with coconut oil!? ;)
