Beauty Uses for Coconut Oil

Beauty on a Budget - Uses for Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is an amazing beauty secret that's been used for a long time for a variety of reasons. A lot of people use it for healthier cooking & for the health benefits it gives you from being ingested.

I personally use it for removing eye makeup and treating my daughter's curly, frizzy, bi-racial hair. I prefer organic over regular coconut oil; organic is more fine and smooth, and melts easier in your hands. Read on for some beauty ideas for your coconut oil!

Skin: *Use as a body moisturizer by itself instead of lotion *When removing eye makeup, apply to a more broad eye area to fight wrinkles over night *Apply to age spots *As a massage oil when mixed with essential oil *On lips as a moisturizer *Use as a shave cream if out of shave gel *As a tanning oil *As a massage oil *Natural deodorant *Heal cracked heels on your feet *As a cuticle softener

Hair: *Use as a pre-poo treatment by applying to damp hair then covering with a shower cap and sitting for at least a half-hour before shampooing. (This helps with dry, itchy scalp when massaged in.) **This is crucial to be done weekly on frizzy/curly/afro hair. *Dab a very small amount into your hands and smooth mid-shaft to ends of hair to tame frizz.

This is a basic list which, I'm sure, could be expanded. Thank you so much for reading! Do you have any additional beauty uses for coconut oil? Share in the comments!
