The Benefits of Using Coconut Oil

Hey everyone! I have been using Coconut Oil now for a few years now and wanted to share with you some benefits as well as some interesting uses of this multi-tasking miracle worker!

I usually use my coconut oil in my hair as a hair mask overnight. I comb my hair, liquify the product in my hands by creating friction, and I then apply it to my entire head of hair including my scalp. I also used to use this as a makeup remover and it works quite well!

Benefits:

- High in Natural Saturated Fats

- Increases the Healthy Cholesterol (HDL) in your body

- Help convert bad cholesterol (LDL) into good cholesterol 

- Can help lower your risk of getting Heart Disease

- Helps reduce inflammation

- Increases your metabolism

- Can improve digestion and immunity

- It can help curb your appetite

- There are anti-aging properties 

Uses:

- Hair (to condition with, help protect against damage, anti-dandruff and to help fight frizz)

- As a makeup remover

- On your cuticles

- In-place of a lotion to moisturize your skin

- Can shave with it

- Soften cracked heels

- As a lip balm

- To cook with

There are many other benefits as well as uses from Coconut Oil that I have not listed here. I strongly encourage you to read up on them because this is truly a wonderful and inexpensive item to have on hand at all times! Also, if you have acne-prone skin, I would not suggest using this product to remove your makeup because it is quite high ranking in at a 4 on the chart. It can end up causing blemishes on your skin and can even clog your pores. However if you have used this in the past and it does work for you in-general, then do what you feel is right for your skin.

Until next time,
