6 Incredible Uses For Coconut Oil

Make way for the underdog of all beauty products.

It’s the best kept secret of all things natural and uncompressed. Sprouting from an oddly shaped fruit and imported from countries across, coconut oil is a must-have for all ladies and men who are interested in maintaining a healthy glow worthy of Greek gods.

So If you don’t have it already, here are six reasons why you need to buy coconut oil….now.

1- Make-Up Remover:

Coconut oil is unique in texture and properties. Throw away your chemically compacted Clean & Clear moisturizers and make-up removers because coconut oil is twice as effective and way cheaper. It’s perfect for removing mascara, eye shadow, and lipstick. It also deeply hydrates your skin! (I personally dab some on before going to sleep every night.)

2- Hair Care:

Organic coconut oil is the BEST for repairing damaged hair and split ends. Give yourself a coconut oil hair mask once a week and it will leave your hair healthy and bouncy with that extra shine quality.

*Pro tip: Leave the mask on for two hours and make sure to rinse thoroughly with shampoo afterwards. Perfect summer locks, here we come! #hairgoalsachieved

3- Oil pulling:

This is an ancient dental technique used to rid your body of toxins. The idea is to swish around a tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth for 20 minutes on an empty stomach (preferably when you first wake-up). Your mouth might get tired, but the benefits include clear skin, pearly white teeth, and a stronger immune system.

4- Massage Oil:

Add two drops of lavender oil to your coconut oil for for an aroma-theraputic experience that will leave the entire body relaxed and silky smooth.

5- Face Mask:

Mix one tablespoon of coconut oil with half teaspoon of lemon juice and some honey for a bright and acne-free face. It also greatly reduces blemishes and red spots.

6- Shaving cream:

This is a two in one service, it works wonderfully as a shaving cream substitute and a moisturizer afterwards. Just rub a small amount of coconut oil on your legs, face, armpits…or anywhere else, and shave using a sharp razor!
