The many uses of Coconut Oil

I bought a bottle of coconut oil last month. For the past few weeks I’ve been reading on how beneficial it can be. For the next 4 weeks, I’ve decided to put it to use and try the following:

1) Hair Mask – I’m always looking for new ways to keep my curly locks looking healthy and shiny. I’ve read that you should use a generous amount of melted coconut oil after shampooing your hair. From there, twist your hair into a bun and leave it in for 5 minutes before rinsing. This will help keep your hair moisturized and give your hair a nice shine.

2) Cuticle Softener – By applying a small amount of coconut oil to your cuticles, it will help strengthen your nails.

3) Under Eye Cream – The one thing I hate the most about myself are the bags that are always under my eyes. I’ve tried cold cloths and cucumbers but never got any results. Applying coconut oil under your eyes should help reduce some of the puffiness.  

4) Body Scrub – Mix a half cup of either sea salt, brown or white sugar with a half cup of coconut oil for an exfoliating facial and body scrub.

5) Shaving Cream – Smooth some melted coconut oil on your legs and shave away.

 I’ll follow up in a month with my results.
