Coconut Oil for the Face and Body

The essential property of coconut oil is hydration! Its rich texture nourishes deeply the skin, relieving it from dehydration and dryness, especially during the summer months.

Apply to face, body and neck and feel your skin soft as silk, leaving the lovely summer coconut aroma to follow you! If you feel the coconut oil heavy on your face, you can leave it like a mask for 10-15 minutes just to take advantage of its softening properties.

Coconut oil is also very effective for various difficult points, such as elbows and heels. In fact, you can make your own foot mask if you put a bit of it on your feet and heels, wear socks and fall asleep. The next morning you’ll wake up with velvet feet!

Coconut Oil for Hair

One of the most popular uses of coconut oil is treating our hair! You can take a small amount on your fingers and apply it to the ends of your hair. It is the most natural softener that will stop the frizzing and leave your hair smooth and shiny!

Coconut oil mask: The ideal solution for dry and damaged hair! You can mix a few tablespoons of coconut oil with other oil, for example castor oil or almond oil, or use it alone by making massage on the scalp. Apply it on all the length of your hair and wrap it with a membrane or cap. You can leave it for 1 hour or even all night and then rinse with plenty of water and shampoo.

Body Scrub with Coconut Oil

Perhaps the easiest and most cost-effective way to make your own body scrub is to mix coconut oil with sugar! Exfoliate 1-2 times a week. It will remove the dead cells while leaving your skin velvety and ready for a wonderful summer tan! If you add coffee beans to it, you will also see a big difference in cellulite!

Coconut Oil for Cellulite and Stretch Marks!

One of the most effective methods for treating cellulite is coconut oil massage! If you drop in it 1-2 drops of essential oil grapefruit or other citrus, geranium or rosemary, you will see even better results. Equip yourself with a body brush and put this massage in your daily schedule!

Stretch marks, although it is a problem that you can hardly escape, can be improved with coconut oil. Its rich composition in fatty acids helps the skin become more elastic and stays hydrated for hours. This improves skin texture and stretch marks begin to soften.
