We've all got it in our kitchens, our bathrooms, and our pantries... It seems if there's a problem, coconut oil can solve it. But, have you thought of these awesome uses for this seemingly magic oil? Check out this life-changing blog post for all the coolest uses for coconut oil that you NEVER thought of!
- Get a closer shave. Toss out your shaving cream, because Coconut Oil is about to change the game. Put it on your legs right before you shave and your razor will glide over your skin and through the stubble, giving you the closest shave of your life. It also has the added bonus of moisturizing your skin and smelling delicious, so you'll be left as touchable and soft as can be! And yes, this can be used on sensitive areas as well, because it is so gentle.
- Make a body scrub with it. If your skin's feeling extra rough and dry, a body scrub is your best friend. Mix coconut oil with ground coffee scrubs and brown sugar for a scrumptious smelling concoction that you can rub all over your body in the shower for outrageously soft, supple skin. You'll look, feel, and smell, amazing!
- Use it as a makeup remover. Nothing melts makeup like coconut oil. Before washing your face, massage your face skin with coconut oil for 60 seconds to scrub off all the makeup. Then wash your face as normal, and continue on with your skincare routine, and go about your day! This works better than most makeup removers that you can purchase in store, and has no nasty chemicals like many brand name makeup removers. Score!
- Make a soak with it. Next time you take a bath, throw a spoonful of coconut oil into the hot water and let your troubles relax away. It'll give you the most moisturized skin, and it is helpful for relaxing!
- Use it as a natural cheek highlighter. Everyone wants that instagram worthy glow that we see all our favorite beauty bloggers, health gurus, and models rocking. For the most natural way to highlight your cheekbones, rub a drop of coconut oil where you would usually apply your highlighter. It's good for your skin and gives you an awesome, super natural glow that will make you look like you just walked off a runway.
- All natural Goo-Be Gone. You know that gross sticky residue that seems to always show up when you rip a sticker off something you just purchased? Slap some coconut oil on that sticky residue, rub it, and watch that gross stuff melt right off!
- Soothes itchy bug bites. Is there anything coconut oil can't do? If you have any itchy bug bites, coconut oil can help mitigate the discomfort! A small drop on an itchy bug bite can help relieve the itching, so stock up!
