I Love using coconut oil as a beauty product sooo much! I even use it on Kellens curls every morning! (just a dab will do your his hair gets greasy!)
It’s loaded with Vitamin E and fatty acids (such as lauric acid, myristic acid, capric acid and more) which are anti-fungal, anti-oxidizing and anti-bacterial, just the sort of stuff that our body happily responds to!
Dry Skin?
You can apply it directly like a lotion, (It's all I have been using lately and my skin has never looked better!). Its found it to be effective in increasing hydration and reducing water loss in seriously dry skin, which is great for me because my skin is VERY dry, and made even worse by how much I sweat and workout!!!! After using Coconut oil I will never go back to regular lotions!!!!!
Shaving
Coat your legs with a light layer and shave away! It smells great and will really moisturize your legs.
Face Wash
Coconut oil helps to reduce acne and blemishes. Wash your face before going to bed, lightly apply coconut oil with your finger and allow it to absorb into your skin. Another way to use coconut oil on your face is by massaging it. Take a few drops and lightly massage until its absorbed. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes and then rinse it off using a face wash. You may experience a few breakouts initially, this will happen until your skin is detoxified.
Makeup Remover
Apply a small amount to a cotton ball and and gently swipe it across your eyes. Yes it even removes waterproof mascara! It does a great job of breaking down heavy makeup. Wash face once done.
Dry Damaged Hair
If your locks are looking more like straw then silk, massage the coconut oil into damp hair and put your hair into a shower cap and wrap a warm towel around it. Leave for twenty minutes then shampoo as normal. This will help strengthen and shine! Or for a quick Deep conditioning, I've been putting it on my hair right when I get in the shower and letting it soak in while I wash and shave, then I was it out of my hair at the end!!!!
Dandruff
Massage the coconut oil on your scalp - Leave it overnight - Wash it in the morning. Regular use will help clear dandruff. It promotes hair growth providing a beautiful shine.
Reduce Frizz and Shine
Add a little to your ends for frizz control and to add shine. If you have dark hair a small dab will do the trick - any more and your hair might appear greasy. My baby Kellen has long hair and I put I dab on the ends every morning, It makes it easy to comb through and makes his little curls look look perfect!
Try it!
(Note: Coconut oil takes on a solid form when it's cold. You can use a spoon to get the oil out of the jar if your fingers aren't doing the job. Remember, though, that this stuff liquefies quickly in your hands.)
Also, wherever you put it on your skin, after wiping away excess oil, you should have a little bit of a leftover sheen. That's fine, as the remaining coconut oil will absorb quickly.
Additional tips:
In the mornings, I add my favorite daytime moisturizer on top of the coconut oil, and apply my makeup; I haven’t once had an issue with breakouts or my makeup running.

At night, I sometimes add another dab of coconut oil after washing my face to give it a little added moisture.
I also add a little baking soda to my coconut oil 3-4 times a week to use as a gentle facial scrub.
And let's not forget, this stuff makes an amazing body moisturizer, too—especially straight out of the shower.
You can also add your favorite essential oil to it when it is in liquid form and have different scents. or just us it as-is... It smells AMAZING naturally!!!
When buying - look for extra virgin, that has not been hydrogenated, bleached, refined or deodorized - this will work best!
