5 Fabulous Uses for Coconut Oil

Hey there ! I have a secret to share... It's coconut oil. This stuff is gold I'm a jar. I swear this has helped so many beauty related problems I have had and I can't get enough of this stuff. Everyone needs to have this ! And here's why

1. Makes your breath fresher. Sounds weird but coconut oil has been used for years and years as a remedy for bad breath. It's called oil pulling so if you want more in depth on this concept, search it !
I have been doing this for almost a whole week and I have definitely noticed a difference. What you do is swish a teaspoon of the oil in your mouth anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes. The spit it out snd brush your teeth as usual. Gross at first but it really works.

2. Hair mask. I use this weekly to condition and heal my hair. Just slather on the oil all over and let it set for 10-45 minutes. Really helps your hair become stronger and healthier.

3. Makeup remover. Before washing your face slather this on, including eyes, and slowly work it into the skin to break up the makeup. Use a wet cloth to remove the oil. Wash your face as usual after.

4. Cuticle oil. This softens them so its easy to clean them up before an at home manicure. Do it every night if you wish for top of the line cuticles!

5. Facial moisturizer. I used to do this, but now I'm on a very strict acne regime that doesn't include this. But I did use this for several months and recommend it ! I would suggest only using it at night as it is an oil and will leave residue. This helps to over time reduce the oiliness on your skin as it is insanely hydrating.

Hope you pick up some coconut oil the next time your at the store ! Of course there is tons of other uses but these are my favorites.

Just keep breathing
