Coconut oil is an absolutely fantastic product that can be used for a variety of purposes.
It is beneficial for the skin, economical, and you know exactly what it contains; 1 ingredient completely free of chemicals. Coconut oil is suitable for men, women, children, and babies.
Here we give 15 tips on how you can use coconut oil on your body. We offer coconut oil in a glass jar or from Akamuti in a smaller tin that is easy to carry in your handbag.
1. Moisturizer
Coconut oil can be applied all over the body as a "lotion." Coconut is good for damaged skin, nourishes all dry areas, and soothes itching and eczema. It is also suitable for sensitive and reactive skin.
2. Eye cream
Coconut oil can be used as an eye cream; only a tiny amount is needed to reduce puffiness, bags, and wrinkles.
3. Aftershave
Coconut oil helps heal your skin after shaving without clogging pores.
4. Deodorant
Coconut oil is an excellent base for deodorant cream. It is even more effective combined with arrowroot powder and/or baking soda. We also have ready-mixed deodorant creams.
5. Treatment for dry scalp
Take a tablespoon of coconut oil and work it into your dry scalp. Leave for about 15 minutes. Wash your hair.
6. "Hair gel"
Rub a little between your palms and squeeze into your hair; coconut oil gives that "beach look" to short and curly hair.
7. Toothpaste
Mix coconut oil and baking soda and put a little on your toothbrush. Brush as usual.
8. Mouthwash
Take some coconut oil and keep it in your mouth for about 5 minutes while swishing the oil around. Spit it out into the trash. This is often called "oil pulling." Coconut oil is antibacterial and can help prevent plaque buildup.
9. Makeup remover
Take a small dollop of coconut oil on your face and remove makeup. Wipe off with a cotton pad and then wash your face with water and facial toner.
10. Lip balm
Rub a little on your lips whenever you want.
11. Massage oil
Coconut oil is an excellent massage oil. Take a dollop and massage it wherever you want on yourself or someone else.
12. Lubricant
Coconut oil is a completely natural and safe lubricant that does not dry out.
13. Cream for stretch marks
Massage into the desired area. Coconut oil helps the skin become more elastic.
14. Body scrub
Mix coconut oil with organic raw cane sugar or sea salt and rub around your body in the shower. Rinse off and your skin will be super soft. You can also add other organic oils (e.g., avocado or jojoba oil) as well as essential oils for fragrance.
15. On scrapes and cuts
Coconut oil forms a thin layer that protects the wound from dust and bacteria from the outside.
