Coconut oil is the perfect moisturizer because it’s lightweight and easily absorbed.
Here are 5 genuine ways to use coconut oil :
1.) Makeup remover: Coconut oil will gently remove your makeup – just make sure to rinse it off after! Place some on a cotton pad and rub gently in circles around your eye area to get rid of makeup.
2.) Hair softener: Use coconut oil as a DIY hair mask to soften your hair and add moisture.
3.) Body scrub: Make your own body scrub by combining coconut oil with brown sugar. Coconut oil also has anti-fungal properties, so it makes a great foot scrub too!
4.) Moisturizer: The fatty acids in coconut oil helps lock moisture into the skin, so smooth some over your elbows and other rough spots to soften and heal.
5.) Face wash: Some girls swear by this method – simply replace your normal face wash with coconut oil and see smoother, clearer skin. However, it’s best to test this out before committing; there are others who claim that coconut oil breaks them out!
