Coconut oil is what we all have in our households. We have used that as a moisturizer and oiling our hair with the coconut oil from our childhood. From generations, we are told the beauty benefits of coconut oil but do we know it all? No, there are so many ways in which coconut oil can be used that we cannot even imagine.
This winter, bring coconut oil for your beauty needs in ways you never thought.
1. Soothe dry hands
Winters make your hand dry, especially when you wash them regularly. Put some coconut oil on your hands after washing your hands to keep them soft. You can do this all year round if you tend to have dry hands.
2. Shaving purposes
If you don’t want to invest in expensive shaving creams then you can definitely use coconut oil for shaving. It is chemical free and will give you a smooth shave. Also, the hydrating properties won’t make your skin look dry.
3. Deep hair conditioning
Oiling your hair overnight with coconut oil is what our mothers have been telling us for quite a time. Oil your hair regularly with it at night, tie them in a loose bun and leave overnight. Shampoo in the morning the way you do. You won’t feel like using additional conditioner after that.
4. Remove eye makeup
Be it your waterproof mascara or highly pigmented eyeshadows, coconut oil removes it all. Just rub a little coconut oil using a cotton ball over your eyes, it will remove all the makeup that is there. After the makeup is removed wash your face with a face wash.
5. Body moisturizer
Coconut oil proves to be a great moisturizer. It increases hydration of the skin and reducing water loss from the dry skin. It nourishes and makes the skin smooth.
6. Body scrub
Why invest in expensive body scrubs when you can make one better than that with simple ingredients. Melt coconut oil and mix one part of sugar or salt with half part of coconut oil. Stir well and store the mix for future use.
