Coconut oil is a natural product that can be used for many things besides cooking. Here are six smart ways to use coconut oil:
Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer that can provide good skin hydration. Use a little on dry skin for soft, moisturized skin. It helps heal and nourish cracked lips as a lip balm.
1. Natural Moisturizer
Apply the product to the hair and let it sit for half an hour before washing it out to create a deep conditioner. Frizz and shine can be controlled with just a tiny bit.
2. Hair Care
Coconut oil removes makeup, especially waterproof mascara. Apply a little to a cotton pad and gently remove makeup. It eliminates makeup and nourishes skin, leaving it soft and clean.
3. Makeup Remover
Coconut oil can replace butter or other oils in cooking and baking. It's sturdy at high temperatures and lightly coconut-flavored. For non-stick cooking, apply a thin layer on pans
4. Cooking and Baking
Swish a spoonful of coconut oil in your mouth everyday for 10-20 minutes to remove dangerous germs and improve dental health. Expel it after use. Coconut oil and baking soda make a natural toothpaste that cleans and whitens teeth.
5. Oral Health
Coconut oil polishes and conditions wood. Apply a little on a cloth and rub into the wood. A combination of coconut oil and baking soda can remove stains from carpets and upholstery.
