Over the last couple of years I have been phasing out a lot of my normal beauty products and replacing them with coconut oil. The biggest change I noticed (other than tp my wallet) was when I started using coconut oil for face and body lotion. So much better than covering my skin with chemical filled products.
Here is a list of my top 10 uses for coconut oil outside of the kitchen.
Here is a list of my top 10 uses for coconut oil outside of the kitchen.
1. Lotion - Substitute your every day body and face lotion with coconut oil.
2. Makeup remover - Apply coconut oil all over face then rinse. For my eye makeup I apply the oil on a cotton ball first.
3. Shaving cream - Substitute your expensive shaving cream with coconut oil.
4. Deep conditioner - About once a month I use coconut oil as a deep conditioner. Apply to wet hair and leave on for 20 minutes to 24 hours, then wash out.
5. Lip balm - no need for Chapstick.
6. Cuticle cream - Apply directly on cuticles and massage in to skin.
7. Fight frizz - Rub a little coconut oil on your hands and comb through your hair. Make sure to avoid your roots.
8.Body scrub - Combine equal parts coconut oil and sugar for a great body scrub.
9. Soothe sunburn - Apply coconut directly on your sunburn to get a soothing relief.
10. DIY vapor rub - Combine coconut oil with a few drops of peppermint essential oil and apply it to your chest.
If you try out some of these let us know what you think! Or if we are missing any of your favorite use for coconut oil please share.
