Coconut oil has become popular over the past couple of years but every since Gwyneth Paltrow brought attention to 'oil pulling' it seems to be everywhere. With its endless possible uses and not too expensive price tag it is definitely a beauty basic.
Body - The summer months are fast approaching and if you are anything like me at some point you will get burnt. I have never been a fan of after sun instead I use coconut oil. I find it soothes and cools the skin whilst not making it tight like aloe vera. Personally I don't like the feeling of lots of oil on my skin but I will put up with the discomfort as not only does it help with the sun burn but it makes my skin feeling amazing! Coconut oil also helps with skin problems such as eczema, scars and dry nails.
Face - As well as being good for the skin coconut oil is an excellent make up remover. You only need to rub a small amount around your eyes to see the effect it has. After rubbing the oil in you then simply wipe your eyes with cotton pads and voilà make up gone and your skin is left hydrated. I also find that coconut oil helps to treat any blemishes.
Hair - I general find most oils tame my hair frizz to an extent but there is something about coconut oil which gives it that extra something. I use it as both a weekly hair treatment and a daily hair tamer. The coconut oil hair treatment is part of my Sunday pamper night I simply cover my hair and scalp in the oil, wrap my hair in a towel for an hour or so then wash it out to reveal soft and shiny hair.
Have you ever used coconut oil? What did you think of it?
