5 Products That Are Great For Both Your Hair And Skin

Do you ever wish that your favorite hair products could double as skincare products? Well, search no more. Here’s everything you need to know about essential oils* to use on both your hair AND skin!

As we know, organic hair and body butters are way more effective than artificial beauty products, and are entirely safe to be applied on skin and hair.

Normal skincare product reviews only mention the advantages of using products made from artificial ingredients, but fail to mention the drawbacks and associated health issues that might crop up during extended use.

If you want to achieve the best looking hair and skin without compromising your health, it is advisable for you to choose hair and body butters that are derived from organic natural oils.

There are several hair and body butters available off the shelf, but if you are proactive, you can whip up these in your own home using just natural ingredients.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is an amazing substance that can do wonders for both your hair as well as skin. Often considered as a superfood, coconut, coconut water, and coconut oil have amazing uses for both oral consumption as well as external application.

Coconut oil has wonderful moisturizing properties that make it the perfect accessory for your skin and hair. If applied on the skin, coconut oil* can help moisturize, nourish, and rehydrate your skin to leave it smooth and supple.

It can be used as a sunscreen, for moisturizing dry skin, for a full body massage, for removing makeup and cleaning your face.

Coconut oil also helps in adding a little shine on top of your makeup by highlighting your facial features. When used on hair, coconut oil* can help with hair growth, moisture retention, taming frizzy hair, reducing dandruff, and treating dry scalp. Coconut oil is indeed one of the most superior alternatives for mainstream haircare products available in the market.

Shea Butter

Shea butter* is used extensively as a moisturizer that is known to be effective against all major forms of skin conditions that include dryness, rash, blemishes, wrinkles, sunburn, cuts, tan, skin cracks, itching skin, frost bites, burns, insect bites, stretch marks, dermatitis, and allergies.

Shea butter is rich in vital vitamins such as Vitamin A*, Vitamin E*, and Vitamin F, and is one of the major components of almost all organic and natural body butters available in the market.

Shea butter* also has sunscreen properties, which makes it a major component in sunscreen creams and lotions. Shea butter may also be used as a moisturizer for hair, as it has moisturizing properties, and can be effective in treating scalp related issues such as dandruff, dryness, itchy scalp, and cracks.

Olive Oil

Olive oil* is another superfood that is rich in anti-oxidants, and is one of the best natural oils that is recommended for oral consumption.

However, olive oil* also has a lot of moisturizing properties, especially for the hair as well as skin. Olive* oil can be used as a moisturizer for both skin as well as the hair by applying it directly and leaving it on for 10 to 15 minutes. You can either dry it out using a dryer or wash it off with a mild shampoo.

Olive oil* is one of the best ingredients to be used as a shaving lather, as it soothes irritated skin and has amazing healing properties due to its anti-bacterial properties.

Olive oil* can also be mixed with other natural ingredients such as egg yolk, milk, or other oils for beauty treatment on hair. Apart from the skin and hair, olive* oil can also be used on the lips, nails, and feet for treating rough skin and strengthening the cuticles.

Moroccan Oil

Moroccan oil is expensive, but it is also one of the most revered natural oils in the market owing to its high moisturizing properties, a result of large contents of fatty acids, vitamins*, and omega-3 oils.

Moroccan oil can be used by adding a few drops into your bath water for the full body treatment, including the hair and skin.

However, for direct application, you can apply a few drops on to your face, skin, or hair, and rub it in for around 10 minutes. Unlike other natural oils, Moroccan oil dries up quickly and will not need to be washed away instantly. You can either wipe down using a dry towel, or have a quick splash of water for rejuvenated and beautiful skin.

Phyto Specific Baobab Oil

Phyto Specific Baobab Oil is a branded natural oil that is designed to be used as a pre-shampoo oil, or for applying to your entire body for a smooth and beautiful skin.
