Glow With Coconut Oil

August 19, 2009

img-9626copy-thumb

I keep discovering more and more ‘beauty’ uses for coconut oil!

IMG_2374

I now use coconut oil for the following:

  • Nighttime eye moisturizer

So luxurious and way cheaper than pricey eye creams on the market.

  • Shave Oil

An all natural way to replace that mystery gel/foam lurking in your shower- makes my legs really soft!

  • Body moisturizer

I’ve been doing this for a few months now and I will never go back to regular moisturizing lotion again.

  • Knee Sleeve barrier

My knee sleeves have been irritating the skin beneath it (red, itchy bumps) so I have been putting a bit of coconut oil on my knees before putting them on to reduce inflammation. I am not sure yet if it works, but I will report back after a week or so.

  • Frizz Tamer

A reader told me that they use a tiny bit of coconut oil to tame their flyaways, and I must say it works fabulous. Remember- less is more with coconut oil, so you only need the tiniest bit!

  • Intense Foot Cream

I put some on last night and then put some socks on and when I took them off my feet were super smooth and no more dryness!

Today’s question:

How do you use coconut oil? Share your secrets below! I’m sure there are hundreds more uses for it.

I don’t think anyone has mentioned it but it can also be used as a sexual lubricant. I know not exactly the forum for it but it works very well. My wife recently went through menopause and had trouble lubricating naturally. We read up on the issue and discovered a lot of people use it for just that, thought I’d pass it on :)
