My Love of Coconut is making my family a bit concerned. I think it started when my teenage daughter caught me in the pantry one evening rubbing coconut oil in my hair, and then I proceeded to put it on my arms too... I didn't know she was there, and then we both busted out laughing. She knows I'm crazy, I know I'm crazy and we can have a laugh about it. Hey, its so good for the skin and the hair and I smelled like a tropical vacation, awesome!
I drink coconut water, eat coconut chips, use coconut oil spread in place of butter on my toast, add it in my smoothies, the list goes on and on ~yes, I'm coco crazy!
Let's get into the benefits of this little jar of magic. Coconut oil is not just for cooking ~the oil is a wonderful moisturizer for the hair and body with antioxidant Vitamin E and lauric acid. It is one of the worlds most nourishing super foods. There are many ways to use coconut oil in your beauty routine, and one jar can replace a lot of different products!
- use it as a mask on the ends of your hair at night before bed, washing it out in the morning very thoroughly
- replace your make up remover ~ Use the oil to take off your make up, I keep a jar under my sink. great for eye make up!
- use it as a lip conditioner
- a body lotion
- to soften your cuticles.
- suffer from canker sores? a dab will speed up the healing process.
- add some to your toothpaste to shine up your teeth.
Hey Nicole! LOVED your blog on coconut oil. It is so surprising how many crazy beauty tips out there that actually work. We just wrote a blog and found that beer, yes BEER, actually adds to the shine in your hair. Crazy right? :)
