Summer is a time for beach trips, outdoor adventures, and soaking up the sun. But while we enjoy the warmth and the golden glow, our skin often pays the price. Sun exposure can lead to dryness, irritation, and sometimes painful sunburns. At Dignity Coconuts, we believe in harnessing the natural power of plants, specifically raw coconut oil, to soothe and rejuvenate your skin after a day in the sun.
Why Raw Coconut Oil?
Raw coconut oil is a natural wonder, packed with vital nutrients and anti-inflammatory properties that gently heal your skin. Here's why it stands out:
-
Moisturizing Magic: Coconut oil is rich in fatty acids, which provide deep hydration to the skin. After sun exposure, skin tends to dry out and lose its natural moisture. Applying raw coconut oil helps restore this balance, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple. It also restores its natural glow!
-
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Sunburn can cause inflammation and redness. The lauric acid in coconut oil has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce redness and swelling, providing immediate relief to sun-damaged skin.
-
Healing and Repairing: Dignity Coconuts Raw Coconut Oil has 4x more antioxidants than other coconut oils on the market. These naturally residing antioxidants and vitamin E help repair the skin by reducing oxidative stress. In other words, it aids in the healing process of damaged skin, promoting faster recovery.
-
Cooling Sensation: When applied to the skin, coconut oil provides a cooling effect, which is incredibly soothing for sunburns and general sun exposure.
-
Natural and Chemical-Free: Unlike many commercial after-sun products that contain synthetic ingredients and preservatives, raw coconut oil is completely natural. This makes it a safe choice for all skin types, including sensitive skin and kids.
How to Use Raw Coconut Oil for After-Sun Care
Using raw coconut oil for after-sun care is simple and effective. Here are some tips to maximize its benefits:
-
Direct Application: First, take a cooling shower! Then, with clean skin, apply a thin layer of raw coconut oil. Massage it gently until fully absorbed. This helps lock in moisture and start the healing process.
-
Soothing Sunburns: For sunburned areas, it's best to wait 12 hours before applying product on it. With clean skin, then apply a thicker layer of raw coconut oil to reduce redness and inflammation. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before gently massaging it in. This will help your skin to absorb more efficiently and provide a cooling relief.
-
DIY After-Sun Spray: Create a refreshing after-sun spray by mixing equal parts of raw coconut oil and aloe vera gel. Add a few drops of lavender essential oil for added soothing properties. Shake well and spray on sun-exposed skin for a quick and hydrating relief. Note: Dignity Coconuts Raw Coconut Oil will solidify at room temperature and become liquid above 78 degree F.
-
Bath Soak: Add a few tablespoons of raw coconut oil to your bathwater along with some Epsom salts. Soak for 15-20 minutes to hydrate and soothe your entire body.
-
Daily Moisturizer: Incorporate raw coconut oil into your daily skincare routine. Regular use can help maintain your skin’s moisture balance and protect it from future sun damage.
