The Many Uses of Coconut Oil
Ever since I was little I have loved Summer. The warm sun shining down and the smell of Coconut Oil. There was just something about it that put a smile on my face.
Over the last couple of years I have grown to love Coconut oil
even more. There are so many wonderful ways that you can incorporate it
into your daily routine.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Hair Treatment
Coconut Oil is amazing for
transforming your dull, tired, over-processed locks. When I need to add
shine or moisture to my hair, I take a few tablespoons and work through
from my roots to the ends (depending on how thick and long your hair
is you may require less). I section my hair so I can have an even coat
throughout. Once I’m done I wrap my hair up in a bun and leave on for as
long as I can. After several hours I wash, condition and dry my hair. Sometimes it may take 2 Shampoo’s to rinse depending on the brand.
I don’t recommend leaving it overnight unless you sleep with a wrap
on your head as the oil can get on your pillow (shower caps work well).
This treatment makes my hair feel incredibly soft.
Sore Muscles & Dry Skin
When ever I have a had a great workout and my muscles are sore , there
is nothing more rewarding than a hot bath with some Coconut Oil. I add a
teaspoon-tablespoon to the water and massage the water into my skin.
Not only does this work for my muscles, it’s amazing at moisturizing the
skin. Your as good as new when your done. Be careful while in the bath
as well as getting out as it can be a little slippery. Trust me though
it’s so worth it!
To add one more little treat while soaking in the bath, you can add
some coconut oil to your face and use as a mask. I recommend applying to
a clean face and avoid the eye area. The great thing about Coconut oil
is you don’t need to rinse it off, just rub in when your all done!
Coconut Oil has been used for many years for many purposes around the
world and has many health benefits, especially when used for cooking.
