You can get it at any good health food store or in the cooking oil section of your grocery store. It's white on the inside but tan on the outside. Yet it also tastes delicious in it's many forms, and isn't a budget buster.
Yes I'm talking about Coconut Oil.....
Coconut oil is considered a saturated fat, though since it is natural it's good for your health. Unlike most saturated fats which are manipulated into the saturated form through a process called hydrogenation.
Coconut Oil is rich, it’s cheap, it’s versatile, it’s antimicrobial, antifungal, and antibacterial, and has a decent amount of antioxidants. So with that said there are many beauty uses that are great, but I'm sharing my top 4:
1)
To shave my legs. You get a real close shave and moisturized and smooth legs after.
2)
To take off my eye makeup. Put a little on a cotton square and sweep it over your eyes gently. It even works on waterproof mascara!
3)
As a deep-conditioning hair treatment. I use
Vatika coconut hair oil. I apply it to may hair before I wash it and let it set for about 2 hours. Then wash as usual. It leaves my hair feeling soft, silky, longer after time and helps with dry scalp.
4)
As a body moisturizer. Great to apply all over for dry, cracked skin to leave the skin very soft! But careful if oily skin it's what your are going for.
Hope you learned alot, though also let me know what coconut oil tricks you've tried!!
