The Best Coconut Oil Tips & Tricks

written by Kierra Lanice

Coconut Oil has become not just the holy grail for the kitchen but a staple for your vanity as well. Here are a few tips and tricks that will come in handy and save you a lot of money...naturally.

DIY Makeup remover

Apply a dollop on a cotton ball or cotton pad to remove even the toughest of makeup with ease. Foundation? Gone. Liquid Lipstick? Adios. Waterproof Mascara? Toodaloo.

Toothpaste

Use it alone for oil pulling or mix coconut oil and baking soda (optional: add a few drops of peppermint essential oil). Create a paste and brush your teeth for a notably whiter smile and fresh breath without the hard chemicals found in stores.

Exfoliant

Mix with salt or sugar to create the perfect lip and/or body exfoliant. Use more coconut oil in on more delicate skin but more salt/sugar on placed like your knees, elbows and feet.

Skin Moisturizer

Use right out of the shower for healthy, glowing skin. Coconut oil absorbs quickly and isn't greasy so it leave the skin soft and smooth.

Shaving Cream.

Better than shaving cream, apply to the skin to condition and give a smooth glide and close shave.

Coconut Oil and Hand Cream

Nothing shows signs of aging like the hands. Apply to the cuticles and after washing your hands for plump, moisturized and youthful looking hands.
