Beauty Uses for Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is not just for the kitchen. It has many beauty uses too. Here are some ways you can incorporate coconut oil into your beauty routine.
Hair Mask – Coconut oil is a creamy solid at room temperature, but will liquefy when heated to 76ºF. Run warm water on the jar while in the shower to melt it. After shampooing, apply some oil to hair strands and massage and twist hair for five minutes and rinse out. This will add moisture and shine into limp hair.
Body Oil – Coconut oils creamy texture makes it a really nice moisturizer to slather all over your body. Use right after a shower so it can sink into your warm skin.
Lip Balm – Coconut oil is great for chapped lips. Carry some in a small container and dab it on a few times a day for ultra hydration.
Cuticle Softener – Cure ragged cuticles with coconut oil. Dab a little on your cuticles and massage it in. The coconut oil will strengthen your nails and hydrate delicate cuticle skin.
Under eye Cream – Rub a dab of coconut oil between your fingers and pat it underneath your eyes. The skin under your eyes is very delicate. Coconut oil may reduce puffiness, and the appearance of dark circles and fine lines.
Frizz Fighter – Rub a dime size amount of coconut oil between your fingers warming it up, and then apply it to the bottom portion of your hair for frizz protection. It will also leave your hair extra shiny and soft.
These are just some of the beauty uses for coconut oil. There are other uses you can experiment with too. Ask your day spa technician for more suggestions.
