WOOD THERAPY WITH COCONUT OIL MASSAGE BY MARLENE

Wood therapy is a vigorous massage technique that utilizes wooden, handheld tools, such as rolling pins and vacuum-suction cups. Purportedly, wood therapy is centuries old and originated in Asia. The technique of wood therapy has seen a surge in popularity, primarily in South America, where people call it maderoterapia. Madera is Spanish for wood. Practitioners of this technique claim that it can reduce or eliminate cellulite. Since wood therapy is a massage technique, it may be safe to assume that you will experience the benefits of a massage, such as relaxation and alleviation of tight muscles. It may even reduce the appearance of cellulite. When done correctly, massage therapy can support lymphatic drainage, which may reduce cellulite’s appearance, at least temporarily. Massage can also help stretch and elongate skin tissue, which may also make the skin appear smoother. Other purported claims include: increasing lymphatic circulation reducing wrinkles alleviating stress providing a whole mixed bag of other benefits. Coconut oil is made from the fruit of coconuts. To be more specific, it’s made from the white fleshy inner part of coconuts. Virgin or extra virgin coconut oil is made from the fresh flesh, while refined coconut oil generally uses copra, or dried flesh.The best type of coconut oil for skin skin is organic, virgin, cold-pressed coconut oil, as it’s the least processed of the bunch so it retains the most nutrients. When using coconut oil for face, avoid buying the more processed varieties produced primarily for food purposes. It may be great for cooking, but you don’t necessarily want it on your face! In other words, don’t go shopping for coconut oil in the grocery store unless you see organic, virgin, cold-pressed oil on the shelf. As an all-in-one wonder liquid, coconut oil skin benefits are many. It has a variety of different applications for your skin and hair. When it comes to your skin, you can use pure coconut oil as a cleanser, moisturizer, or makeup remover. To use pure coconut oil as a cleanser, take a small amount in your hands, rub it until it becomes liquid, then spread all over your face. Allow it to absorb for a few moments, then wipe your face with a warm wet cloth. The same process applies when using coconut oil as a makeup remover. You can also put a small amount on a cotton ball or pad and use it to wipe your eye area clean.

Here’s how it breaks down by skin type: Sensitive — Coconut oil is a good choice for a sensitive skin routine thanks to its soothing properties. It can alleviate temporary redness and irritation. Dry — For dry skin, coconut oil can be a win because of its intense hydrating capabilities. It helps skin retain moisture. Mature — For mature skin, coconut oil can help to minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles and create a more youthful appearance over time. Oily or combination skin — If your skin tends to overproduce oil, you may want to steer clear of using pure coconut oil on your face. It could potentially cause your skin to produce more oil or trigger breakouts. But keep in mind that if coconut oil is just an ingredient in one of your skin care products, it likely won’t cause any issues; you can try it and see if it works for you.
