I think we've all heard about the great benefits of coconut oil, and how many uses we can get out of it. I'd been on the hunt for coconut oil in Egypt for quite some time. Every time I read an article about the many many beneficial uses of coconut oil, I would get a gut sinking feeling.
While on vacation a few months ago, I'd all but forgotten about it when I came across it in an all natural store. I was so excited, I couldn't believe it! I actually made everyone with me buy a jar because I knew that deep down they would thank me eventually, and I was right.
As soon as I got back to Egypt, I went online and looked up all the great things to do with coconut oil and the lists were endless!
Months later, and I still believe that this could have been, quite honestly, one of the best purchases I've ever made!
1. You can use this as a stand in for your regular shaving creme. It leaves your legs soft and gorgeous!
2. It can be used to treat chapped lips, and if you are anything like me, you will need this miracle of an oil.
3. Some people, not me though, mix it with baking soda to create a natural deodorant. I think that's a little risky, though. But if you are someone who would rather use this rather than store bought chemical filled deodorants, then go for it!
3. You can use it as a hair mask every night before going to bed, for softer, silkier hair. It also repairs split ends and damages done to your hair.
4. Some people even use it on the tips of their hair as conditioner.
5. Coconut oil can also be used as a natural moisturizer. You will come of this experience with beautiful skin.
6. It can be used as a makeup remover, and at the same time you get to moisturize your skin.
7. Coconut oil can also be used as a deep conditioner, and its known to treat dry itchy scalps.
8. You can use it to reduce the oiliness of your skin,
9. It can also be used to speed up the healing process of certain bruises.
10. Suffering from Eczema? Coconut oil is known to have reduce itchiness due to Eczema as well as help with the discomfort.
11. I've even read that using coconut oil when cooking can reduce the chances of heart disease and cancer, as well as diabetes.
12. Coconut oil can also reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
13. When applied to lashes, it can strengthen them and help moisturize.
14. Can be used to treat discomfort or irritation due to bee stings or bug bites.
15. It can be even used to boost metabolism!
So, now that you know of a few of the many beneficial uses of coconut oil, aren't you dying to pick one up for yourself? Do yourself a favor and the next time you're abroad, pick it up! I certainly know that I'll be doing just that, since I haven't seen an end to it's amazing uses and I honestly don't think I ever will.
Would I purchase it again? Yes, the natural ingredients offer my skin a great relief and much needed break from all the chemicals I subject it to daily, and I get so many uses out of one jar.
