YOU MIGHT NOT BE A MOVIE STAR BUT YOU CAN STILL sleep LIKE ONE !Traditional pillowcases don’t slip, causing damage to hair and delicate facial skin. #Slipsilk pure silk peach sleep mask. Slip Silk allows your skin to glide, whereas cotton scratches and tugs on delicate facial skin, resulting in premature stretching and sleep-crease. Cotton also dries out your skin and hair. It even twists your hair at the root as you sleep, which causes bed head in the short term and can damage your hair in the long term.

6) Shesha Naturals Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
The main difference between regular coconut oil and virgin coconut oil lies in their processes of extraction. While the former is extracted by cold compression or cold milling of Copra (another name for dried Coconut kernels) with a moisture content of around six percent, the latter is extracted from the coconut milk obtained from fresh coconuts. Thereafter, using processes such as fermentation, churning (centrifugal separation), refrigeration, and the action of enzymes, the oil is separated from the water or moisture. However, in the case of virgin coconut oil, the raw materials and the process of extraction should not allow any involvement of heat.
