Around six months ago I took the challenge of using coconut oil as my makeup remover instead of the Neutrogena one I've used for the past 2 years. And so, I headed to the local organic shop (by that time that was the only place you could get it here in Panama) and got myself the smallest jar of coconut oil I could find. This store only carried one brand of coconut oil by the time which is Nutiva. When I saw the retail price for it I freaked out because it was fourteen dollars for a jar of oil. Anyways I considered the amount of good reviews I've read about it, and ended up purchasing it. BEST CHOICE I'VE MADE EVER. This has done wonders on my skin!
And today I'll present five amazing beauty tips you can do at home with some coconut oil.
1. Moisturiser:
From head to toe, this is one of the best natural and effective ways to hydrate that thirsty skin. Get rid of ashy elbows, knees and stubborn dry patches by moisturising you skin with this natural skin lotion.2. Makeup Remover:
Amazing for removing that waterproof liner or mascara you use. This has been my salvation since I started wearing false eyelashes because it's the only thing that completely removes the residue of the glue left on the natural lashes.
3. Deep Repair Hair Mask:
Hide your split ends! The day you are washing your hair, apply some coconut oil from tip to root. Leave it for around an hour or overnight. After washing it you will end up with shiny, healthy looking hair with a slight coconut scent.
4. Dry Shave:
I dare you. Dry shaving usually leaves razor burns or a rash because the skin reacts against the razor. Apply some product over the skin and shave right away. Wash your legs really well and apply a slight amount of oil through your legs. This will help bring moisture back to the skin.
You will end up with smooth and shiny legs.
5. Exfoliate:
Get rid of that old scaly skin and show a brighter healthy look with some oil and sugar.
All you will need is brown sugar and coconut oil. My personal recipe is a cup of brown sugar and half a cup of coconut oil. This will be enough for my entire body. ( I don't apply this on my face because I have highly sensible skin)
Extra Tip!
Oil pulling:
A step a bit more risky. This helps your teeth cleanse and lighten color. All you need is a tablespoon of coconut oil and leave it on your teeth for around ten minutes. Brush your teeth and the'll appear way lighter.
