Thank you

Did you get the invite? Did you make it for both written and oral interviews?

Use lemon juice, tumeric powder and yogurt. Mix all together and apply on your face for 30mins every evening. Then make sure u use sunscreen everyday when going out. Before a while you will see results. This is a natural way to remove spots without fear of chemical side effects.

I got the first SMS inviting me for nnpc test on Saturday which also promised to send the test venue on a later date. Since the first message, I am yet to recieve the send message for my test venue and I think i can go directly to the currier service and ask for my own letter.
Please if you are in Phc and have gotten your nnpc invitation via a currier service kindly share which company that sent yours so that I can have an idea of where to go and check for my invitation letter.

Am in ph. Got mine delivered by FedEx.

hello,
the process you have described here is not for COLD PRESSED EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL. this is just for the regular coconut oil.

its important to have the cold pressed coconut oil (WITHOUT HEAT)because that's the only way to make sure the oil is not stripped of its amazing benfits (the reason why you opted for coconut oil in the first place)

Here is a detailed process to get your COLD PRESSED COCONUT OIL (WITHOUT HEAT)
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN VIRGIN COLD PRESSED COCONUT OIL

TOTAL TIME: 3 Days

PREP TIME: 4 hours

SET TIME: 48 hours and 3 hours in the fridge.

You will need
- Mature Coconuts (3 coconuts makes just over 1/2 cup solid oil)
- A screwdriver/drill
- A hammer
- A tea towel
- One large bowl and 2 medium size bowls
- Small Sharp knife
- Vegetable peeler
- High speed blender
- 1 cup of non-chlorinated water for each coconut (leave water to stand for 24 hours for chlorine to evaporate)
- Natural Unbleached Cheesecloth
- Sieve
- Ladle
- Sterilised Pyrex dish
- Mesh strainer
- Empty sterilised glass jar to store your oil in

Instructions

1) Begin by removing the water from your coconuts. The easiest way is to drill two holes at the top, slightly pointy end. Pour the coconut water into a bowl, but don’t discard, as we will use it later.

2) Once the water has been collected from all the coconuts, it’s time to crack open the shell. The safest way is to wrap the coconut in a tea towel. Then, using the hammer, strike the coconut with a heavy blow. It may take a few attempts, but eventually the coconut shell should crack, exposing the white mature meat. Repeat this process with all the coconuts.


3) Now you need to extract the flesh from the shell. You can use the tip of a clean sharp knife to run around the edges of the shell to free the meat. Once all the meat has been collected, using a vegetable peeler, peel the brown hard skin away. You will be left with the coconut water, the peelings and the coconut. Discard the peelings. They’re great for your compost!

Add the coconut water and then blend, blend, blend! You can also use a food processor.

4) Rinse your coconut using purified water. Now we need the blender. Blend the coconut water and coconut meat together, on very high speed, for a couple of minutes. We want the coconut pieces to be of very fine texture.

Squeezing the water and coconut flakes together

5) Remove the coconut from the blender and place in the large bowl. Add the non-chlorinated water to this bowl too. Using our hands, we need to squeeze the coconut flakes and water together, until the mixture looks very white and creamy. Continue mixing and squeezing for about 30 times. Then, leave to stand at room temperature for 3 hours.


Ladle the mixture on to the cheesecloth covered sieve. Wait a few seconds before squeezing to extract the liquid, leaving you with coconut flakes. Discard flakes in another bowl. Repeat process until all the liquid and flakes are separated.

6) After three hours, you’ll see that the cream has risen to the top. We need the cheesecloth, sieve and two bowls. Place a sieve on the larger bowl, and then the cheesecloth on top. We need ladle the coconut liquid mixture on to the cheesecloth, and squeeze to extract the liquid from the coconut. Once the liquid has been extracted, we empty the coconut flakes into our other bowl. Repeat this process until all the liquid is one bowl and the coconut flakes are in another bowl.

To make coconut flour, you need a dehydrator or oven and a coffee grinder. Leave the coconut flakes in the oven with the pilot light on for a 24 hours, or in your dehydrator following your manufactures instructions. The next day, the flakes should have dried out. Using a coffee grinder, and in batches, grind the coconut flakes until it resembles flour.
To make coconut butter, blend the flakes for about 10-20 minutes, depending on the speed of your blender.
Store both items in clean sterilized jars and in the fridge.

7) We no longer require the coconut flakes, you can use it to make coconut macaroons or coconut flour. You can compost it too, it is highly nutritious for your soil.


Now we are left with just the liquid which we extracted from the coconut flakes. Place the water in a clean shallow container, such as a Pyrex dish. Cover this with some cling film.

9) If you live in a cool environment, where room temperature is below 70F or 21C, leave to stand at room temperature for 48 hours. Then put it in the fridge for three hours to overnight to solidify.


After 24 hours, you will notice a few bubbles at the top and what will be the oil, has risen to the top. My kitchen smelt so coconutty!

10) If you live in Saudi Arabia, we have to do things a bit differently. Leave the dish at room temperature for 24 hours, and then put it in the fridge for the remaining 24 hours.

The solid mass is the coconut oil.

11) After it has been in the fridge, there will be a layer of solid white mass at the top. This is the oil. We need to carefully extract this from the remaining liquid.


13)You can discard the liquid, or you can continue the fermentation process to make your own coconut vinegar.

i hope this helps. thank you

Please someone help!!! I need to get AMBI fade cream (normal skin) I can't seem to find it in Port harcourt. Please i ll appreciate it if anyone can help direct me to were I can get it. Thanks alot

Dynamiq: Try this; I am a man like you and it has worked wonders for me: dry your face with towel,cut a fairly cold lemon into half, put two or three drops of pure honey on the cut open surface lemon. Then use the lemon to rub your dry face. In the process the mixture of lemon juice and pure honey work on your facial skin. Leave it like that for ten or fifteen minutes then wash it off with cold water. Keep this up and you will see obvious improvements. And please avoid eating groundnuts and butter as much as possible! By the way, there's this soap that's very good for those fighting skin disturbances; Okin antiseptic soap; very cheap but so good. Good luck.

Lovely post, i like. thanks for the education on skin care, will surely include your tips in my skincare regimen.

abiL:


Are you for real?!!

This person hasn't done peels before so 40% 50% is a no no. It can lead to burns or post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation (which can take months to be properly cleared).

She needs to start off at a lower percentage to introduce her skin to it and see how she reacts to it. You don't want a skin worse off than you started with.

For beginners, lactic & glycolic acids should be started off at a percentage not higher than 20%. It can then be increased gradually.

Procedures involving acids should mostly be carried out by dermatologists. But if you're going to home use it, RESEARCH and be safe.

thanks so much dearies! I actually tot abt the %of those recommended peels, actually my scars are not so bad(they get covered up wen I use foundation). I must say I appreciate ur suggestions. I have also found a simple regimen that seems to be going just fine with my skin.I cleanse my face with cetaphil cleanser(to remove make up)then I mix baking soda and the cetaphil on my palm and use as a mild exfoliating scrub, I wash and follow with teatree oil soap(I let it sit for some minutes before washing) then I moisturize with cetaphil lotion but I apply a fading cream to the areas were I have acne scar. Fourtnightly, I use a mask made of oatmeal and glycerine (I use d swissgarde glycerine and royal jelly) I don't forget to take my vitamins though.

daakins: persistent usage will fade dark scar..mixing coconut oil with Shea butter is good.and its always best to use it when you want to sleep at night.u can try dis combination..Sheabutter mixed with egg,coconut oil and honey which is den whipped by using a blender...it makes a good cream and moreover dey are all natural products with no chemicals .

Coconut oil is great but u have to make sure it has extra virgin cold pressed wrtten on it, thats the best. I recently started using it and my skin loves it. I take 2teaspoons daily (orally) as a suppliment.

ferhyntorlah:

Hello Sophia, is your hair texlax cos it sure hlooks like one?

Hi ferhyntorlah, I don't even know wat texlax is. The first picture is my natural hair and the second is braided with expression hair attachment.

Pls I need to get rid of black spots left by acne. ANy suggestions please? Counting on you guys

Please kindly help. I need a solution to black marks left behind by pimples.
Your help will be appreciated. I ve used panthoten, and even natural stuff like lemon, yet the black spots just won't go away.

am i a learner?

berem: does it really have odour? The most important thing is the benefit on your skin.

I have been using okwoma(shea butter) on my skin for the past 3years.i also use it for my hair to treat dandruff.it is also good for kids as their cream.it doesn't cause sweat too.

Its great for hair. I take it to the salon on each visit, I apply it to my scalp just after I remove the rollers from my dried hair, then I go bak into the dryer to heat up the shea butter in my scalp. I have noticed that the chronic dandruff I ve had since I was a Kid has automatically stopped and my hair is fuller, healthier and simply great

Please does anyone know where I can get that cytaphil cleanser in port harcourt. Been looking for it for ages. Thnks

Mine did tangle not to long after I fixed it, I tried the regular hair serums but it did little or nothing so I got just for me hair detangler (its for kids) 800naira. It did the magic I was able to wear the weave a bit longer. Cheers
