So today I'll be doing a post on all the uses of coconut oil,the most amazing natural substance on the planet! If you haven't heard of using coconut oil for things other than cooking, you're missing out!
It is anti-bacterial,anti-fungal,anti inflammatory and of course it is natural and side affect free!
You can get coconut oil by the cooking oils in a supermarket or alternatively, I got my own a year and a half ago in Holland and Barrett. This massive jar has lasted me so long and I'm not even half way through!
Let's get into it!
1.Cooking
Greasing pans, replacing vegetable oil,in smoothies(boost nutrition), toast spread,popcorn topping.
2. Beauty
Moisturise skin, prevent/treat acne,use as shaving cream,deep condition your hair,stretch marks,use as lip balm,spot treatment, condition your hair,sunburn,lengthen eyelashes(pop some on before you go to sleep!),remove your makeup,bug bite treatment,bath oil,use as baby lotion,combat frizzy hair,dandruff,nail growth.
3. Health
Eczema, heat rash,chicken pox(helps with the itching!),cold sores, helps with pain after getting tattoo,hay fever,clean retainer/mouth guard.
There are lots of studies linking coconut oil and treating diseases such as Alzheimer's and helping with arthritis pain but I'm not well versed in that area so I won't get into it. If you are interested though there are tons of articles online! :)
4.Around the house
Furniture polish, leather shiner,remove rust,clean gardening tools, fix rusty scissors,stuck zip, hinges,remove chewing gum.
There you have it! There are so many other ways you can use coconut oil these are just the ways I know and have used it for.
If you have any other suggestions as how to use coconut oil definitely drop us a comment! We'd love to hear from you :)
Stay sparkling,
