OK, we're not going to talk about the beach, even though our minds are there right now; but instead, we will look at the wonderful uses of coconut oil. The benefits for your skin are endless, but it’s also a
fabulous addition to keeping your insides healthy as well. Here are some easy, everyday uses of coconut oil or as we’re going to call it “CO”.
Be ready to change your hydrating lifestyle!
For Your Purse:
NATURAL LIP BALM
Throw a little container of coconut oil in your purse and
you got yourself a DIY lip moisturizer. Let’s be honest, we all know you have
at least three lip products in your purse at all times. Make one a natural
remedy!
For Your Body:
HEALTH MACHINE
CO improves the ability of your body to absorb minerals and
vitamins. It also has anti microbial properties that help fight bacteria
and infections in your digestive system. Add it in your diet as a substitute
for vegetable oil and you’ll be fortifying your immune system. Make sure to get the non-hydrogenated organic CO! But how do you choose one, find out here.
For Your Hair:
PRE-SHOWER CONDITIONER
Use it before the shower to make your locks sleeker. Run
some CO through the ends of your hair and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then
proceed to shower and shampoo your hair as you normally would. Voila, we love
silky hair!
For Your Skin:
BODY SCRUB
CO is great as a body scrub! Simply use a few scoops and add
sugar or salt depending on your preference. The CO moisturizes and the
salt/sugar will scrub away the dead skin. The best part is there are no extra
chemicals in your scrub!
DEEP MOISTURIZER
The feeling is so pure! Use a spoon to swoop out some CO and lather up your legs, arms, face, neck… you name it! Wherever your body needs some hydrating. It’s gentle enough that you don’t
have to worry of harsh breakouts, but super, super moisturizing so next
day’s skin is SMOOTH. The key is to let your skin absorb it. Nighttime
application is best and by morning, your skin has drunk it all in!
HEALING SCARS
A great natural remedy for cuts, burns, stretchmarks and any
other type of scar. The healing properties are ENDLESS! Just rub some on that boo-boo next time.
EYE CREAMS
Smooth some on your eyelids, under eyes, and the sides
before bed and you’ll be completing your bedtime routine with this addition. Who
needs expensive eye creams when coconut oil does the same thing!
