5 BENEFITS OF COCONUT OIL

Coconut Oil is a magical health tonic. Some people use it to cook with but there are many other ways in which this oil can be used.

Personally, I have used it in 2 ways:

1. To add shine to my hair: I mostly use coconut oil in my hair. Most people buy coconut oil from the store but I don't. I believe the locally made, fresh coconut oil is the best thing ever! The first time I tried putting coconut oil in my hair I was really sceptical about it. In my mind, I was like "this would never work in my hair,  nothing works in my hair!" but I was dead wrong. With constant use my hair became shiny and silky soft. And I became instantly hooked to it. To get your hair shiny and soft you don't need to drown it in the oil. At least one tablespoon of oil is needed depending on the amount of hair you have. While using coconut oil to add shine to my hair, I realised something. I realised my hair(edges) were becoming fuller as well. I also use it on my eyebrows, because personally I think thin brows are not cute (sorry)lol. But it grew my eyebrows out sooo much!

2. As a moisturiser: Aside from using coconut oil to add shine to my hair, I use it as a moisturiser! It is the BEST natural moisturiser ever! I'm not even lying to you guys. Yes, I know it may leave your skin oily and greasy but ignore all of that and just think about the smooth softness of your skin after using it...so gooooddd lol. I also use it to moisturise my lips! Let me tell ayooo lol it better than chapstick, carmex and EOS lip balm lol (my accent just came in there). It honestly leaves your lips sooo softttt and moisturised, I think you guys should try it!

However, I did a quick research of other benefits of coconut oil and here's what I found:


1.Cuticle softener: using your finger, swipe a small amount onto your cuticles and allow it to sink in. The oil will strengthen your nails and hydrate delicate cuticles.

2.Under-eye cream: if you hate the idea of buying expensive under-eye creams that don't even work, just substitute them for coconut oil. Just rub a pinch of oil under your eye and begin patting it.

3. Makeup remover: Just a teaspoon of coconut oil can take off a whole day's makeup with ease.  Massage it into the skin and watch the makeup melt away and rinse your face with warm water.  Easy yet effective!

And that's just some of the things I've found out!
