Beauty Benefits of Coconut Oil

Buying a bottle of coconut oil can be life changing for you. Not only is it good nourishment for your hair, it has various other beauty benefits too. Pretty soon, you won’t feel the need to buy a million different cosmetics to fulfil your needs, one bottle of coconut oil will do everything you need.You may have already made the switch to coconut oil in the kitchen, but did you know you can also swap out some of your beauty products for the wonder oil? This do-it-all ingredient can be used to moisturise skin and remove makeup, but that's just the beginning. Here are some of  the ways you can incorporate coconut oil into your beauty routine:

Hair Nourishment 
Be it as a hair oil or as a shampoo, coconut can do wonders to your hair. It can help you get rid of dandruff, hair fall, split ends and a lot more. Apply oil on your hair and soak for 20 minutes to make your hair shiny, massage warm coconut hair oil to stimulate blood circulation and promote hair growth. 

Makeup Remover
If your current makeup remover is leaving makeup behind, it is high time you switched to using coconut oil instead. You can use a blend of virgin coconut oil and rose water (floral water or hydrosol),  just dab your cotton ball in this mixture and use it like you would use your traditional cleanser to watch your makeup melt away the all-natural way.


Lip Balm 
The best way to tackle those stubborn dry lips in any season is coconut oil. This is especially true for the winters when your chapstick does not seem to be working no matter how many times you apply it. A little jar of coconut oil in your bag will go a long way to giving your supple and plump lips. The best part is in winters, the consistency of the product is much like lip balm too.

Itch Relief
If your average itch relief cream is causing you more harm than good, try to lather on some coconut oil for instant relief and quick results. You can use the oil on bug bites, burns, and even bruises. Again, a natural remedy is so much better than a chemically infused one. It’s the next best thing after aloe vera!


Leave-in Conditioner
Instead of getting confused between expensive oils or other hair care products for your hair, try coconut oil for a change. When your hair is wet, put a little coconut hair oil on your tresses and let it work its magic. It is pocket friendly and effective at the same time.

Fighting Stretch Marks
If you are an expecting mother or already have a child or two, in the process of losing weight or just noticing stretch marks on your body for no reason, your new best friend is a magical blend of coconut oil and castor oil. Regularly applying this mix on your problem areas will go a long way in solving it. And it works surprisingly fast, so that is a definite bonus.

Under Eye Cream

Eye creams, like a lot of the speciality cosmetics out there, are very expensive. For a small tube that may or may not work, you end up dishing out a fortune. Well, say goodbye to those days, because your new buddy is coconut oil. Gently (very gently) work the oil into the skin beneath your eyes are night before going to sleep every night and watch the difference it makes.
