Posted: September 25th, 2017

People have long doted about the health benefits of coconut oil, but even more amazing than the nutritional benefits are the topical ones. This coconut extract is so versatile, it can (and should) be incorporated into nearly every aspect of your beauty routine. Out of chapstick? Substitute some oil. Running low on mascara? Oil from a coconut can increase the life of your tube. If you want to achieve the luxury of a day spa from the comfort of your home, this oil is likely the answer. To learn more, check these six uses of coconut oil, listed below. 

Lipstick/chapstick substitute 

Not only is this oil ultra moisturizing for your lips, you can customize the color with food coloring or any stray blush you might have lying around.

Body Scrub 

Combine the oil with a bit of sugar and coffee grounds for the ultimate body scrub. It will leave your skin moisturized, smooth, and tighter, all at the same time. 

Moisturizer 

Oil from coconuts is the ultimate tool in skin care. Combine with a bit of aloe for an unbeatable moisturizer that will both soften and calm your skin. 

Eyelash Serum 

Due to its moisturizing benefits, this oil can also promote lash growth. Just pop a bit on your lashes at night and wake up to longer, fuller eyelashes. 

Massage Therapy 

Coconut extract oil, in combination with other essential oils, can do wonders during massage therapy. Not only does the oil smell delicious on its own, but it has naturally calming elements that help soothe sore muscles during a massage. 

Perfume 

Prolong the life of your perfume by dabbing a bit of Eau de coconut onto your wrists before spritzing, or DIY your own perfume with some of the coconut extract and your favorite essential oils.  Whether you're giving yourself a massage, indulging in some coconut based skin care, or pretending you're at a day spa, supplement your treatments with a little coconut oil and reap the benefits.
