Beauty Secret of the Week
The Secret of Coconut Milk
Q:
“I have a baby who has very bright skin, what is a natural way to help
a baby’s skin look and feel healthy? Is there something that I can use
that is gentle enough to use on an infant? I also want my body to look
nice and silky, any suggestions?”
A:
I frequently get asked questions on how to make the body look silkier
and smoother. Well we all know that there are products out there like
bronzers, and lotions with glitter or shimmer to make your skin have a
better glow. But how about a product that nourishes and makes your
skin tighter and firmer while giving better definition? And it’s
completely natural.
There is such a product and the secret has been used in many countries for decades. Coconut. Basically raw coconut milk, which you can buy from health food stores, like whole foods, works amazingly well when applied to the skin.
How to use it:
- Put the coconut milk in a spray bottle
- Choose your favorite essential oil (rose, lavender, grapefruit, etc.)
- Mix a couple drops of your essential oil with the coconut milk really well
- Use after you shower
When you use this, you do not need a body lotion. The coconut milk
penetrates into your skin and doesn’t stay on the surface like some
lotions and oils. Important Notes: You must keep it refrigerated.
The shelf life is only about 7 days because it is so pure and natural.
This is also great to use for kids when you add a little lavender
essential oil because it is soothing and helps to relax. It’s great
before bedtime to help them sleep.
If you have any questions, email jlskinfitness@gmail.com
This is a fantastic and affordable option for adults and children to
help keep the skin silky and smooth.
Best,

Q
Julie, I need your advice. As you know I have issues with my chest getting sun. I haven’t even been in the sun much yet, but my chest is red and has brown spots. I’ve been trying to take care of it and wear SPF daily but can’t minimize the redness and spots. 2 questions – any ideas for repair and secondly – what kind of sunscreen do I need? I wear high SPF and this still happens. Thanks! Hope to see you at your next visit!

Hello,
When you have sun damage on the chest area due to excess sun exposure or areas that were burnt by the sun at a younger age in your life, you will begin to see the visible signs of the damage. The redness shows below the surface due to slow healing and the brown spots cover the surface producing pigments trying to prevent further damages. The permanent brown spots act as an alert.
1) A chest treatment weekly for 6 weeks can help to slowly repair the area. It may take longer time for the redness to heal but will surely improve the texture and lighten the brown spots.
2) Avoid direct sun exposure between 12pm and 3pm. Wear zinc based SPF30 and apply every hour. Cover exposed areas with t-shirt or scarf.
3) I would suggest using Stem cell Serum daily and Pigment Correction Serum nightly. If you are interested in getting my 6 week Skin Correction Treatment, please email me for customized program details.
