Coconut Oil is a natural treasure. It has been used in food preparation for years but in recent times this rich oil has gained popularity for its benefits as a hair and skin moisturizer.  In its natural state Coconut Oil is a liquid above 76 degrees Fahrenheit and a solid below. When in a solid form the oil quickly liquefies when rubbed between your hands. This all-natural oil is rich in lauric acid, capric acid, and Vitamin E, which helps to condition, strengthen, and nourish your skin and hair.

Keeping your skin healthy is one of the first things you can do to help ensure your overall health.  When neglected your skin is more susceptible to breakouts, dryness, cracking and an acceleration of the aging process. It is important to take steps to condition your skin and to help it maintain its natural glow.  100% Coconut Oil is an ideal moisturizer to use to help achieve this goal.

 Coconut Oil as a Face Wash

Coconut Oil has natural antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, which makes it a great all natural face wash.  By using this oil as a facial wash, you wash away dirt and grime while killing germs and bacteria. This natural oil will cleanse, moisturize and condition your skin all at the same time.

Coconut Oil as a Skin Moisturizer

Dry skin is a common problem that many of us suffer from. Coconut Oil is an all natural solution to this problem.  It is a fast absorbing, deep penetrating oil that can be applied to your entire body.  For optimal results, moisturize several times a day.

Moisturzing Tip:  After bathing massage Coconut Oil onto your damp skin, including your hands and feet.  The oil absorbs better into damp skin than dry skin. You skin will feel silky smooth and soft.

Coconut Oil as a Foot Moisturizer

After a long cold winter you may be suffering from dry, cracked feet.  Coconut Oil will help relieve this problem.  Apply a generous amount of oil to your feet prior to bed. To ensure maximum absorption of the oil make sure to wear socks to bed.  After several nights you will start to see an improvement in how your feet feel and look.

Coconut Oil as a Cuticle Cream

Dry, cracked cuticles and hangnails are painful as well as ugly.  Massage a small amount of coconut oil into your cuticles and the base of your nails several times a day.  You will feel and see the difference after several applications.

Coconut Oil as a Lip Moisturizer

Many of us suffer from dry lips and this is especially true in cooler temperatures. Chapped lips can hurt and burn.  If you prefer an all natural way to moisturize your lips, Coconut Oil is a great option.  A small amount applied to your lips several times a day will hydrate your lips making them soft and kissable.

Helpful Hint:  Put a small amount of Coconut Oil into a TSA approved container.  Rather than carrying a larger size jar around all day you can enjoy the convenience of a smaller size tube or bottle.

Coconut Oil as a Leave-In Hair Conditioner

Coconut Oil helps condition, moisturize and revitalize your hair. This rich oil can be used as a daily conditioner.  When used daily, apply a small amount to your wet or dry hair and style as usual.  Your hair will maintain a nice shine and frizz will be kept at bay.

Coconut Oil as a Deep Hair Conditioner

As a deep conditioner Coconut Oil will penetrate your hair, hydrating it while also giving it a smooth healthy shine.  At night, apply a generous amount of oil to your scalp and hair. Leave the oil in overnight and wash out the next morning.  If you like you can cover your hair with a shower cap to help keep the moisture in. You will see and feel the difference.

Moisturizing Tip: If using as a deep conditioner, after applying Coconut Oil to your hair, braid your hair.  This will help keep your hair in place overnight allowing for better absorption.

Coconut Oil as a Dandruff
