My uses for coconut oil:
-Oil Pulling. You may have read articles about oil pulling on Pinterest- it's quite the fad right now and it's what sparked my curiosity about coconut oil. This article I read on Fashion Lush blog teaches the step-by-step process of oil pulling, click here. Essentially, you swish coconut oil in your mouth in the same way you would mouthwash, for about twenty minutes. The benefits include: whiter and stronger teeth, detoxifies the body, banishes bad breath, and headache relief!
- Quick and easy lip balm. Swipe some coconut oil on your lips for quick and easy moisture.
-Eye makeup remover. Use your finger to grab a dollop of coconut oil, rubbing it on your eyes in a circular motion. It removes eye makeup much more quickly than the usual Vaseline that I use, and leaves your skin feeling soft.
-Lotion. Rub some coconut oil on dry spots, like elbows, for instant moisture!
-Shave gel. Use coconut oil instead of shave gel or soap. Your legs will be silky smooth!
-DIY Sugar Scrub! Click here.
-Hair frizz. Rub a little coconut oil on fly-a-ways to prevent frizz (be careful not to use too much or you could end up looking greasy).
-Hair mask. In the shower, apply coconut oil from mid-shaft to ends, let it soak in while you continue your shower routine. When you wash out you will have seriously softer hair!
These are the uses for coconut oil that I have personally tried so far. Frankly -I'm in love with the stuff! You can also use coconut oil for cooking and baking. I haven't tried that yet because it does have a distinct coconut flavor.
I'm glad I got sucked into the hype of coconut oil. I'm amazed with how silky smooth it makes my hair and skin, and plan to continue on my oil pulling regime.
