Coconut oil benefits!
I love using coconut oil for so many different things. I have been using coconut oil since I was a little girl , growing up my mother would mix conditioner , olive oil and coconut oil and use it as a Leave in conditioner - to style my hair. She would also use coco butter and coconut oil on me and my siblings skin especially in the winter time. This contributed to my love for coconut oil and its why I always have a jar of it lying around somewhere.
Makeup Remover.
Using coconut oil will melt your makeup away even waterproof makeup! Its a cheaper alternative to buying actual make up remover and less irritating in my opinion. Just take a pea sized of coconut oil and gently rub across your eyes and watch the make up of the day come off with ease.
Shaving.
Shaving with coconut oil will leave your legs or armpits feeling like silk. I personally use Nair. Nair is a hair removal cream that you put on the area that you want hair gone , wait 5-10 min and then you you wipe it off. I Usually put on a thin layer of coconut oil before I use the hair removal cream.Hair removal cream can sometimes cause irritation because they are so harsh on your skin I find that coconut oil helps soothe and prep my legs or armpits for Nair. You can also use coconut oil in place of your shaving cream it will leave your skin soft and smooth.
Exfoliator.
You can use can coconut oil to make your own Exfoliator. Take half a cup of coconut oil half a cup of olive oil and some raw sugar and mix it together and use it in the shower and exfoliate your body. Coconut oil is good for keeping moisture in and healing wounds which makes it perfect for exfoliating.
Consumption.
The fatty acids in coconut oil can encourage your body to burn fat, and they provide quick energy to your body and brain. They also raise HDL cholesterol in your blood, which may help reduce heart disease risk. I like to take a table spoon of it in the morning on an empty stomach or mix it into my green tea at night.
Eyelash And Eyebrow Treatment.
I like to use coconut oil to help grow out my eyebrows and my eyelashes. Just mix half Mix coconut oil and half Jamaican black castor oil in a small jar together and put on your eyelashes and eyebrows every night. In about a month You’ll see you then grow and you’ll see them be thicker and fuller.
Hair.
Coconut oil stimulates hair growth. Coconut oil is a natural way to help your hair grow longer, thicker, and faster. The vitamins and essential fatty acids naturally found in coconut oil nourish the scalp and help to remove sebum build-up from hair follicles. Coconut oil promotes scalp health fighting against such problems as insect bites, lice and dandruff. Coconut oil moisturizes dry hair and adds luster, shine and softness to the hair. Coconut oil also prevents hair breakage and split ends, contributing to hair length.
I hope this is a good guide for you guys. All these benefits of coconut oil you should all get a chair and see the benefits for yourselves. I highly recommend that you get the raw organic virgin coconut oil out of the cooking section for the best results.
Till next time X’s and O’s🤍
