Coconut oil not only has many health benefits when used in the kitchen, but it also has many uses outside of the kitchen. Here is a list of 8 ways you can use coconut oil in your bathroom at home.
1 Shaving
Next time you are getting ready to shave your legs, apply just a little bit of coconut oil to your legs prior to shaving, and your legs will be softer than ever.
2 Oil Pulling
Oil pulling is a method of ridding your mouth of bacteria. This can be done with most types of oil, but coconut oil is especially beneficial for your oral hygiene. In the morning, take a teaspoon of coconut oil and swish it around in your mouth. Do this for anywhere from 10-20 minutes
3 Carrier Oil
A carrier oil is a base oil that can be used to dilute essential oils. Just combine a couple of drops of any essential oil with a spoonful of coconut oil to relieve sore muscles, relax, or energize yourself.
4 Skin Moisturizer
Coconut oil is great for the skin. As mentioned earlier, it can be used to create soft, smooth skin, but it can also diminish stretch marks and scaring as well as keep your skin nice and tight looking. You can buy or make your own coconut oil lotion to reap all of these benefits.
5 Hair Care
When used before or after treating your hair, coconut oil can lower protein loss. Apply half a tablespoon of coconut oil to your roots and massage it throughout your hair, leaving it in for 1 hour before rinsing.
Coconut oil can also be used to tame frizzy hair. Use sparing amounts to be sure not to leave your hair looking greasy.
6 Cuticle Care
Coconut oil can also tame your cuticles. Massage it onto your nails whenever you feel like you could use it to beautify and protect yourself from fungal infections.
7 Makeup Removal
Coconut oil is an awesome alternative when it comes to removing eye makeup. It easily removes it while providing many benefits to your skin.
8 Rash & Burn Cream
Applying small amounts of coconut oil can sooth burns and reduce or even eradicate rashes. Try this the next time one of these ailments are affecting you.
