MAKEUP REMOVER
Coconut oil will gently remove your makeup. Just make sure to rinse it off after a few minutes. Place some on a cotton pad and rub gently in circles around your eyes area to get rid of makeup.
HAIR SOFTNER
Use coconut oil as a DIY hair mask to soften your hair and add moisture. Just scoop it out and apply to your hair focusing on the ends ( Girls with oily hair should avoid the root area so as to prevent clogging ). You can leave it in for 30minutes or even sleep with it, then you can do the usual shampoo and condition.
SHAVING CREAM
Give yourself a smooth shave by using coconut oil in place of your normal shaving cream. This is a great idea for people with sensitive skin who may be sensitive to some chemicals in normal shaving creams.
FRIZZ-TAMER
Use a tiny amount of coconut oil to smooth down flyaways and add shine to your locks. It can also be used to unravel your locks, twist, bantu knots, roller sets and braids. All you need to do is dip your fingers in coconut oil before you get started.
MOISTURISER
The fatty acids in coconut oil helps lock moisture into the skin, smooth some into your elbows, knee, feet and other rough spots to soften and heal.
CUTICLE OIL
If your nail beds have been looking a bit dry and ragged, just dab some coconut oil on them. Do this before bed and put on gloves, you will wake up to soft smooth nails.
BODY SCRUB
Make your own body scrub by combining coconut oil with brown sugar. Coconut oil also has anti-fungal properties so it makes a great foot scrub too.
FACE SCRUB
Add some baking soda to your coconut oil for a gentle face exfoliator. You might feel a bit of residue after rinsing but the oil will absorb into your skin after a few minutes.
