Coconut oil isn’t just useful as an ingredient on the Food Network…or as fragrance for a bottle of suntan lotion, either. It works just as hard outside the kitchen/beach (and you’ll retain that lovely tropical scent as well). You can purchase coconut oil everywhere from specialty stores to Walmart. If you are a fan of coconut, have a go at these ideas:
- Get ready for glowing legs! Nothing gives you silkier legs than using coconut oil to shave with.
- Deodorize your body with a rubdown of the stuff—it has antibacterial properties. It probably won’t be replacing your regular deodorant entirely, but it will keep you fresh in an emergency situation!
- Rub it into your nails and cuticles – it will strengthen them and help them grow.
- Coconut oil is a wonderful natural aide for skin issues. Try using it to soothe eczema breakouts.
- It also makes a great lipgloss–straight up from the jar. Just swipe your finger in, and rub directly on your lips.
