Loco for Coconut Oil- 14 Day to Day Uses
Coconut Oil. That’s right, ladies. It’s magic. You love the smell of coconuts? Great! If not, you can purchase a virgin coconut oil which is odourless and tasteless. It has tons of multiple uses and benefits! Don’t believe me? Well let me show you some examples.
Moisturizer: Whether it is for your face or body, coconut oil is super moisturizing. If you use it on your face, I suggest you use it at night so it has more time to absorb into the skin without and shiny cast.
Eye Makeup Remover: You can use your fingers to apply and wipe with a towel or you can use a tissue or cotton ball. I swear by this method of makeup remover! It cleans the toughest waterproof mascara.
Lip Balm: You can transfer into a smaller container and rub it on your lips to avoid dry and cracking lips.
Sunscreen: Coconut oil has scientific benefits that are much too boring to explain, but can be used as a light sunscreen of SPF 4.
Tanning Oil: I’ve never gotten a better, burn free suntans without coconut oil, slather it on and get ready for the summer sun!
Hair Oil: It can be used to de-frizz unruly hair and ever moisturize dry split ends.
Exfoliate: Add one part sugar and one part oil. Scrub away your dead skin.
Deodorant: Okay, we’re not talking about stage 5 B.O., but if you feel deodorant isn’t necessary for you; rub on some coconut oil that’s scented! Add a squeeze of lemon for a more potent mixture.
Shaving Cream: Works just as well as any shaving cream.
Mosquito Bite Reliever: Dab on to the itchy bite for relief
Sooth a Sore Throat: Use a spoonful in any hot tea of your choice.
Toothpaste: Add some baking soda and brush away for a whitening toothpaste.
Nail Growth: Rub onto those cuticles every day or so to promote healthy nail growth.
Cooking: I thought this might have been obvious, but coconut oil is a much healthier oil to use for frying, and such!
There you have it! Now, coconut oil can be a little tricky to find, but usually found in general grocery stores and places such as Bulk Barn.
Stay Beautiful, Ladies
