Health / Homemade Coconut Oil Cleanser In 5 Minutes : Do It Yourself Guide by tinahealth(f): 6:01am On Jul 20, 2018
Do you want to make some coconut oil cleanser of your own?

The products available on the market are often expensive and laced with chemicals and preservatives. These additions which can cause allergic reactions and other skin troubles like acne, hyperpigmentation, etc.


So, it is a good idea to make coconut oil cleanser at home!

According to Bioriginal Coconut oil is amazing for your skin as it has antibacterial properties. It is also loaded with antioxidants and works as a natural moisturizer.

In this blog post, I will share an excellent DIY antibacterial coconut oil cleanser recipe.

It worked like magic on my skin!

Let’s begin!

How to Make the Antibacterial Coconut Oil Cleanser
Acne had been on the top of my list of skin concerns since my teenage years. So, all of my face products needed to have antibacterial properties.

Following are the ingredients for the recipe:



Coconut Oil: You can use any coconut oil but, cold pressed virgin is the best kind
Olive Oil: This oil is rich in Vitamins A, D, E, and K, had a lot of antioxidants as well as antibacterial properties
Tea tree Oil: Tea tree oil has antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiseptic properties which makes it one of the best oils for treating acne


Coconut oil becomes solid when in temperatures below 76 degrees F. So, you’ll have to melt your cleanser in some warm water before you can use it.

In this recipe, I use the following proportions:

70% of the cleanser is 100% virgin cold pressed coconut oil
25% of the cleanser is 100% virgin cold pressed olive oil
5% of the cleanser is cold pressed tea tree oil
Since all of these oils have antibacterial properties, this cleanser works well for those who are dealing with acne!

Now, I’ll show you how you can make antibacterial coconut oil cleanser on your own!

Keep reading.

Step-by-step Guide for Making Your Antibacterial Coconut Oil Cleanser
I like to make two week’s worth of cleanser in one go. So, I’ve only made a small amount of the cleanser.

But, you can make a month’s worth of this cleanser using this recipe—the choice is yours!

I use this at nighttime to remove all the dust, pollution, and makeup from my skin and let it breathe for the night.

But, that’s my personal preference!

Step 1: Use an Adequate Container
While most people prefer using a jar, I like something mess-free.

I use a traveling container with a pump for this cleanse. It is easier to use with the cleanser in its liquid form, and you don’t have to put your dirty hands in the jar to take out the product!

Plus, it’s a good choice for those who travel a lot.

Step 2: Melt the Coconut Oil and Add it to Your Container
If you live in a cold area, you’ll have to melt the coconut oil to put it in the container.

Don’t microwave the oil!

Instead, put the oil container in some warm water, and within a few minutes, the oil will liquify. Then, you just have to put it in the container.

Step 3: Add the Olive Oil
Next up, you need to add some Olive oil to the coconut oil and mix it well. I like to shake the container so that the oils mix well.

But, they don’t always remain that way.

The oils start to separate with time, so, you’ll need to shake the container before you use the cleanser.

Step 4: Add Some Tea Tree Oil
Just a few drops of tea tree oil to the cleanser will give it a lovely scent and the fantastic properties of this oil.

Shake the container well to mix it with the other oils.

Step 5: Shake Well Before Use
Yes, making your coconut oil cleanser at home is an easy process.

But, keep in mind that you have to shake this mixture well before every use as the oils separate and form their layer.

To get benefits of all the oils, remember to shake it well.

In cold areas or during winter time, the cleanser will solidify into a white substance. But, that’s normal. Just warm the cleanser up before use, and you’ll be good to go!

How to Use Coconut Oil Cleanser
Coconut oil cleanser is very easy to use. In this section of the blog, I’ll go through the steps you can follow to use this DIY cleanser.

Melt the coconut oil cleanser by putting the container in warm water for a minute or two
Take a moderate amount of the cleanser (about two pumps) in your palms and apply it evenly on your face
Massage it in for at least 60 seconds
Wipe it off using cotton pads or a washcloth
If you have oily skin, you can use water to remove the cleanser to avoid clogged pores
That’s all

Final Words
Coconut oil cleansers available on the market can be quite pricey and laced with preservatives and chemicals.

I feel that it is better to make your own at home for a fraction of the price!

This coconut oil cleanser is good for those who have normal to dry skin.

It helps calm your acne down as well!

You can use this even if you have oily skin. You will probably need to make some adjustments to the recipe and experiment with the proportions of oils used according to your skin’s unique needs.

I hope this recipe works out well for you! Let me know how it’s worked for you in the comments section. If you have any questions, I’ll answer them all in the comments section as well!

Health / Ovarian Cancer: What To Avoid During Menstruation by tinahealth(f): 10:55am On Jul 14, 2018
1. Avoid cold foods and drinks
The cold temperatures will cause your stomach muscles to cramp, resulting in additional pain during your menstrual cycle. Although cold treats – such as ice cream, frozen slushies, and ice water – may seem to be good remedies for alleviating discomfort during your period, they only worsen it. Instead, use heat to relax your stomach muscles. Hot water will allow your body to make instant use of it. You could also add herbs and tea to reduce the pain. Additionally, heat up your food before eating it.

Menstruation is still a taboo topic for many of us. But recently people are breaking this taboo, with stories about woman health, importance of menstrual hygiene, reproductive and sexual health.

A healthy woman experiences a normal phenomenon known as the menstrual cycle, for about 30 – 40 years of her life. Regular discharge of blood and mucosal tissue from the inner lining of the uterus is called menstruation; it occurs every 25 – 35 days in a healthy woman. Bleeding usually lasts around 2 to 7 days. This cycle is very important because it is required for the production of the egg cell and prepares the uterus for pregnancy.

Every woman’s menstrual cycle is individual and unique. About 80% of woman experience few symptoms 1-2 weeks before menstruation. These symptoms include mood changes, nervousness, headaches, tender breast, pelvic pain, acne, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, feeling tired and irritability. When these symptoms make your daily routine difficult, the woman is said to have premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Menstruation stops occurring between 45 – 55 years of age, this is called menopause. Menstruation also stops during pregnancy and resume after delivery. The first periods usually commence between 12 – 15 years of age, this is called menarche. In few girls it can start as early as 9 and as late as 16.

Each menstrual cycle can be divided into following phases, each phase is controlled by hormones and the production of these hormones is directly dependent on the general well being of the woman.

Pregnancy is the period of both physical and mental transformation. For most of the women, it becomes the most memorable journey of her life. Whereas for some women, it is stressful to find a positive pregnancy test. Such unplanned pregnancies disturb the balance and become a significant challenge to deal with.

There are various reasons abide by, which a woman may not want to get pregnant such as:



*she may not be mentally or economically ready to take a baby’s responsibility.

*She may be concerned that because of the baby she will have to sacrifice her career or she will lose her independent lifestyle.



Whatever the reason may be this article is written to help her to deal with an unplanned pregnancy.

Deal with an unwanted pregnancy in 5 steps
Relax
Try to relax because under stress you won’t be able to take a proper decision. Try breathing exercises for a few minutes. Drink water and talk to your partner. Share your feeling and thoughts with him. Also, ask him about what he feels about it. If you do not have a partner or in the case, your partner is disrespectful to talk to your close friends.

You may also discuss your situation with your mother and sisters. However, the most important thing is to choose a person who listens to you, do not judge you, may advise you but give you space to take your decisions.

Meet your gynecologist


If you and your partner are both are unwilling to continue the pregnancy meet your gynaecologist and talk about the options.

Seek counselling
If in case the decision of you and your partner varies, it is better to seek advice. This will help you to take a proper decision. Sometimes after successful counselling you may find that it is not the pregnancy that is worrying you, but the issues in your relationship to need appropriate attention.

Meet a counsellor, even if you have already decided to avoid future regrets. The counsellor will help you to reflect on the decision and options.

If you are sure that you do not find yourself emotionally connected to the baby, but still you are continuing the pregnancy because or moral or religious reason or If you are messed up between right and wrong counselling will help you to sort out the mixed feelings you are facing.

Always remember to make a healthy family and for proper growth and development of the baby, there should be an emotional attachment with your baby.

Do not take any decision in haste
The most important thing is not to take any decision in haste. It is possible that you may with time develop an attachment to the baby. But also remember as a mother you will be the primary caregiver for your baby. So in the end, you are the one most affected by your decisions.

Analyse all the aspects
Unwanted and unintended pregnancies if continued have a negative impact on both physical and mental health. So if you strongly feel that it is not the right time for you to have a baby and you won’t be able to take adequate care of the baby then put your points clearly and analyse. Your partner, family members and your doctor will understand you. Still, if you feel lonely or unsupported seek professional help.

Pregnancy and having a baby is beautiful, but you also need to be well prepared physically, mentally and economically to take the responsibility of your child. At last it’s your decision that matters so deal with it wisely.
