14 Surprising Beauty Uses for Coconut Oil

1.Hair Mask

3.Face Mask

If your face looks a little dull, it might well be time to whip up a good old DIY face mask. All you need is a little coconut oil and some raw honey. By applying the mixture to your face and leaving it on for 20 minutes to work its magic, you’ll boost your skin’s hydration levels and clear away any surface bacteria.

4.Bath Soak

Adding a scoop or two of coconut oil to your bath water can help combat dry skin. You can also try adding some good old Epsom salts to give your muscles a soothing soak, or make it even more rejuvenating by adding a few drops of your favorite essential oils to the tub!

5.Makeup Remover

Coconut oil is a great weapon to use when you’re battling with removing heavy makeup. All you need to do is to rub some coconut oil onto the area you’re targeting and then wipe it off with some cotton wool.

6.Shaving Cream

Not keen on using commercial shaving creams? No worries, because coconut oil can do an even better job while also nourishing your skin! If you’re aiming to get a really close shave and give your skin a hydration boost, just apply some coconut oil to your skin before shaving. This works exceptionally well for those of us with sensitive skin. Hello, gorgeous legs!

7.Acne Control

Coconut oil can help cut down on the redness and pain that comes with acne-related inflammation. By applying a thin layer of coconut oil to your face after cleansing, you’ll be moisturizing your skin while also eliminating any bacteria that might be present on the surface of the skin.

 

8.Foot Deodorizer

A great way to soften those cracked heels and get rid of unsightly calluses is to use coconut oil every night before bed. It’ll help deodorize your feet as well since it has antibacterial properties, and the fact that you’ll wake up with softer and smoother feet is an added bonus!

9.Polish That Silverware

Applying a thin layer of coconut oil to silverware items around the house can help you restore their shine. You can even remove rust and rust-stains if you give your silver a good polish using some coconut oil. All you need is a little patience, determination, and (of course) coconut oil; and your silver will be shining in no time!

10.Zipper Un-Sticker

Stuck zippers are frustrating, and just plain useless unless of course, you treat them with coconut oil. Coating stubborn zippers with a thin layer of coconut oil will help lubricate them and get them working again.

11.Hairball Banisher

We love the furry friends that most of us have as companions in our homes (yes, the cats and dogs), but what we don’t love as much is the hair they shed. Black dress plus white cat hairs? Bad combination. One way to cut down on those hairballs is to use coconut oil on your pet’s fur, which will help moisturize their skin and prevent excessive shedding.

12.D.I.Y Nut Butter

Got fresh nuts? Good, all you need now is some coconut oil and a blender, and you’re all set to make your own, healthy nut butter. We love the idea of making our own nut butter, the fact that its homemade cuts out the need to buy commercial products which contain all sorts of added flavorings and preservatives!

 

13.Flu Buster

By consuming coconut oil on a daily basis, you may help boost your white blood cell count, which can help prevent or fight common colds and the flu.

14.Lice Destroyer

There are some folks that believe coconut oil is, and always will be, a natural remedy to get rid of lice quickly. You can try it for yourself by giving your hair a rinse down with some apple cider vinegar and then allowing it to air dry. Once it’s completely dry, apply coconut oil to the lengths of your hair as well as your scalp. Leave it on for at least 12 hours (you can stretch it out to 24 hours if you’d like), and then rinse thoroughly.
