10 Ways to Add Coconut Oil to Your Beauty Regimen
I love sharing beauty secrets with all of you. This one happens to be not so secret anymore but I still thought I'd make a list of 10 ways to add coconut oil to your beauty regimen. This is absolutely one of my favorite natural oils. Everything on this list is something that I do.
Make Up Remover –
Need to remove your makeup quickly and effectively? Use a cotton ball with
coconut oil to get it all off before using your face cleanser.
Oil Pulling – Ok
it may sound weird/gross but swishing coconut oil around in your mouth every
morning for 20 mins can freshen your breath, whiten teeth and detoxify your
body.
Hair Oil – If
you’re suffering from dry hair, which leads to breakage, coconut oil will
become your best friend. It retains moisture in your hair making it soft and
prevents breakage.
Body Oil – Instead
of lotion grab your coconut oil after your shower to keep your skin soft.
Lip Balm –
Instead of Chap Stick use coconut oil to soften your lips and keep them from
getting dry and chapped. Want a tinted lip balm? Add a bit of eye shadow in
your favorite color to the oil.
Body Scrub – Mix
coconut oil with sugar for a fantastic exfoliator. I personally like to use
brown sugar. It can be used for your whole body including your lips.
Shaving Cream –
Shaving with coconut oil not only moisturizes your legs but it also helps you
get a close clean shave every time.
Sun Burn – If
you’re suffering from sunburn and need some relief gently apply coconut oil as
needed.
Soften Cuticles –
Rub coconut oil on your nails focusing on your cuticles for soft cuticles.
Makeup Brush Cleaner
– A bit of coconut oil and anti-bacterial soap will have your brushes the
cleanest they have ever been.
What is an important part of your beauty regimen? I'd love to know.
I had no idea there was so many uses for it. But unfortunately we keep any coconut related product out of the house due to Bee's severe allergies to coconut.

Oh no, that's too bad. I love coconut oil but not too fond of coconuts.
DeleteLove this share. Have question though, can I buy the actual coconut and use on skin etc...like you would use Aloe Vera or must I use the oil?
ReplyDeleteThanks a really good question. I never thought about that but I know what you're talking about. I've used Aloe Vera plants for burns and things. I've just always purchased the Organic Coconut Oil from the store. I can tell its getting popular because the last few times I've gone the store has been out.
DeleteCoconut oil has so many uses. I never thought about using it as a makeup remover or to clean my makeup brushes. Very clever. The one thing that I can't imagine doing is oil pulling. Swishing around coconut oil in my mouth for 20 minutes? I've read a lot about this, but I just can't imagine it. Have you tried oil pulling?

I have tried oil pulling and I got my mom started on it too. Its not as bad as it seems. The coconut oil doesn't really have a taste. The main thing I noticed was whiter teeth. The hard part is the length of time. Every time I oil pull someone wants to talk to me so I have to do it before anyone wakes up.
DeleteI tried oil pulling for a while. It was OK, but I didn't really notice any difference from it. I would do it in the shower while I was washing my hair and stuff. And it wasn't bad at all. I hadn't heard the lip balm thing. I may try that because I'm just not a Chapstick kind of girl. #SITSharefest
ReplyDeleteI didn't think about trying it in the shower. Thats a good idea. I like using it for lip balm and lip scrub. It's amazing!
DeleteI have been contemplating oil pullign for some time. I even have a jar of organic coconut oil but I have been so intimidated by it...I really need to just do it BUT if not now I have 9 other ways to use it :D
ReplyDeleteLOL That's true. Its really not bad at all thou. You should try it at least once.
