Coconut Oil Beauty Tips

Hair mask: While in the shower, melt your coconut oil by running the jar under the warm water. Then, after shampooing, apply a generous amount of the oil to wet strands and twist hair into a bun. Let it sit for at least five minutes before rinsing to add moisture and shine back into limp locks.

Moisturizer: As a solid, coconut oil's creamy texture makes it the perfect light moisturizer to slather all over. Apply a quarter sized amount right after you get out of the shower so it can sink into your warm skin.

Lip balm: If you have chapped lips dab coconut oil on your lips with your finger throughout the day.

Cuticle softener: Using your finger, swipe a small amount of the oil onto each of your cuticles and allow it to sink in.

Under eye cream: To avoid fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles; Rub a pinch in between fingers to warm it up before patting it underneath your eyes.

Frizz fighter: Rub a pea size amount of coconut oil between your fingers to warm it up, and then apply it to the bottom couple inches of your hair for all day frizz protection.

Highlighter: Dab a little liquified coconut oil onto the tops of your cheekbones, cupid's bow (the dip above your upper lip) and just above eyebrows for hydrated skin that looks lit from within.

Makeup remover: Massage a dollop of warmed, liquified coconut oil straight onto skin and watch as makeup melts away, then rinse with warm water.

Body scrub: Mix a half cup of sea salt or sugar with an equal amount of melted coconut oil, and then use your hands to rub it over any rough patches of skin

Shaving cream: warm the jar under the water and smooth onto legs before shaving.
