With high concentrations of lauric acid, vitamins and minerals, coconut oil is a great natural moisturiser and skin-care product. When used as a massage oil or an ingredient in your beauty products, coconut oil has various benefits for your skin, hair and general well-being.

Massages can do wonders for our well-being, yet time and expense can get in the way of regular massages. Self-massage, on the other hand, is something that we can do ourselves every day to create and maintain feelings of well-being and self-care. Give yourself a self-massage using the techniques below as often as possible, with or without oil. I like to incorporate a self-massage before and after my shower in the morning. Pre-shower, which is usually a few minutes after waking. I slowly and gently bend forward (as far as my body allows). Using long strokes, I massage the top of my feet, past the ankles and up my legs while gently coming up to standing.

Now that we’re coming out of our winter hibernation, it’s time to dust off winter and restore dry skin and glow.
