Coconut Oil

Have you been hearing a lot about coconut oil lately? I know I have, granted, I've been hearing about it for a few years now thanks to my husbands family. They absolutely love coconut oil! It's kind of crazy actually ha. Anyway, I am here to tell you a few ways I like to use this product.

Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment: Rub a small amount of oil into hair (mostly at the ends), comb through and place hair in a loose bun or in a shower cap. Let sit overnight and wash out in the morning and your hair will feel amazing!

Fix Dry Feet: Combine coconut oil with sea salt to create a foot scrub and BAM! You will have silky soft feet!

Make Up Remover: (My personal favorite) Rub a small amount of coconut oil on the make up and then gently wipe off and it will all be gone.

No Need for Aloe!: Rub coconut oil on burned skin to help soothe and repair sunburned skin.

Wound care: Replace Neosporin for coconut oil to protect and help wounds heal. Can also be applied to small cuts and scrapes to stop bleeding.

Popcorn topping: Melt some coconut oil and then pour it over your popped popcorn and it is a delicious treat.

Smoothies: Add a spoonful or so to your smoothies in the morning and it will help with your energy levels and so much more.

High Heat Cooking: Use it rather than butter or other types of oil. It is much healthier for you!

Hydrating night cream: Replace your night cream with coconut oil. Apply coconut oil to the areas that tend to wrinkle and crease lock in moisture and hydrate skin.

Lip balm: Pretty self explanatory... Just add a tad to your lips!

Fizzy Hair?: Rub a little coconut oil between your palms and rub through hair to tame frizziness and fly aways. Don't add too much though or it will make your hair rather greasy.


There are so many other uses for Coconut Oil, you just need to get out there and research it yourself!
