Coconut Oil Goodness and a Giveaway

August 12, 2016

I’m back from my running junket in Ireland and I can’t wait to share all of that craziness with you. But first, while I’m sorting my thoughts and writing those race reports, I NEED to tell you about the Coconut Oil Health and Beauty products I had the opportunity to try from Skinny & Co.

Skinny & Co Coconut Oil

In a word, this set is SUPERB. Sourced in the jungles of Vietnam, Skinny is the only raw, small-batch, cold-pressed, non-alkaline coconut oil on the market today. It’s all natural, vegan and gluten free.

Face & Body Oil: Raw coconut oil in its purest form. Let your face and body drink in the moisture. According to Skinny & Co., it helps boost metabolism & energy and increase mental clarity. Yes please!

Body Butter: Coconut and almond oils are whipped together with some sweet basil for a deliciously decadent scent. I love this rich butter after a hot day at the pool. I especially like slathering it on tired, dried, cracked heels. It’s also great for soothing razor burn.

Facial Oil: This coconut oil is laced with lightly fragrant Roman Chamomile and Lavender that makes me feel like I’m at a spa when I use it. It’s so soothing to sensitive skin and is a great makeup remover.

Sugar Scrub. Made of edible coconut sugar, this product left my skin feeling silky soft and with the lightest, most pleasant fragrance, good enough to eat!

Pulling Oil: This was my first experience with oil pulling. I’d heard mixed reviews on it but kept an open mind. Skinny & Co. Pulling Oil contains peppermint essential oil so it was refreshing. I swished the oil around my mouth for maybe 5 minutes (probably not long enough??). I liked the minty taste and didn’t mind the process at all. Pulling oil is designed to freshen breath, whiten teeth and improve oral health.

Overall I was so impressed with each and every formulation I tried and will be keeping Skinny & Co. products in my health and beauty routine. This set makes a great gift for yourself or others.

Enjoy the benefits of #coconutoil with this Beauty Set from @SkinnyCoCo #giveaway
