Coconut oil has earned its spot as a beauty must-have, thanks to its versatile benefits and natural properties. Whether you're looking to enhance your skin, hair, or overall beauty routine, coconut oil can be your go-to solution. Here are seven beauty tricks you should try with coconut oil to elevate your self-care game.
1. To Shave Your Legs
Coconut oil is natural, inexpensive and an antimicrobial alternative shaving cream for your legs and even underarms. Its skin-soothing properties will also keep your legs hydrated.
2. Eye Makeup Remover
Coconut oil breaks down your eye makeup, leaving the delicate area hydrated as well. You can even use it on your waterproof mascara.
Put a little amount on a cotton ball and gently sweep over your eyes. Once done, wash your face as you normally would.
3. Moisturizing Lips
Just spread coconut oil over your lips before bedtime to hydrate them and to heal chapped lips caused by cold and dry weather.
4. Preventing Wrinkles
To help prevent under-eye bags and wrinkles, use coconut oil under your eyes.
5. Cheekbone Highlighter
To use coconut oil as a highlighter, sweep a small amount on top of your makeup and then leave it. This will give your skin more glow than usual.
6. Relieving Sunburn
Applying coconut oil after sun exposure can help relieve your skin from sunburn.
7. Soothe Dry Hands
Coconut oil can work its wonder into you dry and parched hands, mostly from dish washing liquid or soap. Put a little amount of extra virgin coconut oil into your hands to keep them moist and soft.
