So here are my top tricks and uses for coconut oil!
1. Moisturiser - Just have it straight from the jar and smooth all over your skin - best done straight after a shower while your skin is still damp. - apply extra to any dry spots regularly. 2. Body Scrub - Simply add equal amounts of coconut oil and brown sugar and add some essential oils to the mix. Beat until the oil is softened and fluffy. Massage into your skin while in the shower and rinse off, it will leave a light layer of coconut oil over the skin which will keep it feeling soft. 3. Simple Scrub - for a simpler and quicker scrub simply add some coconut oil and sea salt together and again use in the shower. 4. Chapstick - just gently rub into your lips in small circular motions to soften and moisturise them. 5. Make Up Remover - Helps to remove dirt and pollution by massaging the oil into your skin any make up will just melt away and wipe right off including and stubborn mascara. 6. Deep hair conditioner - use it as a deep treatment apply it to the end of your hair and then use your fingers to distribute the rest over your hair, you can also massage into your scalp, For amazing results leave it on for as long as possible before washing off. 7. After Wax - Simply use it remove any left over wax. 8. Eczema & Psoriasis - Because of the anti-inflammatory properties in extra virgin coconut oil it can help to relieve affected areas by lightly applying 3-4 times a day. 9. Cuts & Scrapes - Because coconut oil forms a thin antiseptic and antibacterial layer that will protect the wound from and dirt or germs. It also helps to speed the healing process up by promoting collagen in your skin. So apply it over any small cuts, scrapes and it should help resist infects and heal faster. It also helps to reduce the chances of scarring. 10. Shaving Cream - Use coconut oil instead of shaving foam or cream for a closer shave, as it smooth's hair follicles. 11. Deep Hair Conditioner - You can use coconut oil as a deep conditioner just use a few tablespoons and massage from root to tip, leave it overnight for the best results. If you can't do overnight use the same application just wrap your head in a warm towel for a few hours. Shampoo your hair twice to make sure you remove any greasy feeling and it should feel silky smooth. 12.
