Coconut Oil Beauty Treatments <3
So while exploring YouTube I came across an inexpensive beauty treatment that's amazing!!! It's a little something called coconut oil! The reason why its so amazing is that it's hydrating in a very unique way compared to other oils. And obviously it's a multi purpose thing! That's probably just as big as how hydrating it is. Some know of this already, but I decided to put an article together for those who didn't know like me. I wanted to put together a list of things I used my coconut oil for and the things I read you can use it for as well!
1. Hair mask! I did this one a few days ago and I have never felt my hair so soft in my life! It's so soft but not just soft. It feels hydrated and healthy. More so than it's ever felt with any other products I've ever used on my hair. It makes your hair not just look soft but feel soft and healthy. It's kind of amazing!You just massage the oil into your scalp and run it down your hair shafts until it is completely covered. Then tie your hair up and put a bag over it and let it sit overnight. People say all day or at least maybe a couple hours if you have the time. But I recommend at night so that your hair can be hydrating as you sleep!
2. Hair frizz/dryness! You can also use it as a hair styling product. Even just doing this makes it so soft. And it takes away frizziness and dryness without making it too oily. It takes away the frizziness while also hydrating it. And your hair truly feels hydrated even just with a little bit to style it. It feels like it helped me style it and take away frizziness while hydrating all day while it was in the hair. It's like my hair absorbed it and became very hydrated and healthy throughout the day. It didn't just sit "on" my hair. I think this is what weighs the hair down. So coconut oil doesn't really weigh it down either and I was surprised by that. There is some weigh down depending on how much you use but not like I imagined it would be. If you lightly apply, there will be no way down at all.
3. Face Moisturizer! Yes.. It actually works as a wonderful moisturizer. But do this in moderation if you have oily skin. I went a little coconut oil crazy and pretty much globbed it on my face and kind of am suffering a break out at the moment. But the first time I used it, I did it sparingly and when I woke up, my face looked so hydrated and glowing literally!
4. Makeup Remover! I used this to remove my makeup as well. It works just the same as a makeup remover
5. Water Softer! This one I discovered on my own. I added a little coconut oil to my bath water and noticed how soooft the water was. It was as soft as if I added water softener! No joke!
6. Shave! You can also shave with it! I used it on my legs and my legs never came out so silky smoothe I promise!
7. Body Moisturizer! You can make yourself a coconut oil bath or even just rub it on your skin by itself like a lotion.
Last but not least. This might have been the most miraculous one.
8.Teeth Whitening! You can brush your teeth with coconut oil for about 2 minutes I'll say and you will have sparkly white teeth! And for literally pennys! I took less than half a teaspoon and put it onto my brush and brushed my teeth for 2 minutes and my teeth were white instantly! I was in the mirror like =000!!! lol Works better than any other teeth whitening treatment I used and heard about. The others are not instant and waaay more expensive and difficult. I even watched a video today about this super expensive teeth whitening kit with molds and you have to create them and send it back to the company to get your trays and then you spend a couple hours with those on and it takes a few weeks to actually see results. Also, your teeth get tingly after just like with many whitening treatments. With coconut oil, it's instant! And there was no tingly sensitiveness after. I know it sounds nasty but when I spit after brushing, I spit all the stains out! I could see it in my spit. I know that's gross. It was kind of crazy to see. And I drink a lot of coffee and wine. It's kind of miraculous!!!
And these are just the ways I put coconut oil to use. There are so many more ways to use it. I feel like I'm just getting started! lol There are many many more ways you can use coconut oil that I still need to try! There will probably be a part 2 to this. The product lasts long as well. A lot of people say that about a lot of products but this is the one product where I've seen that to be true more than others. For your face you maybe need just the tip of a teaspoon. That little! and it will go a long way.
So I am in love with coconut oil! I been using it every single day since I got it. It's apart of my daily routine already!
