Since my recent discovery & obsession with oil pulling, I’ve been intrigued with the multitude of benefits coconut oil offers. I’m completely blown away by all the different benefits & uses for coconut oil! I wanted to dedicate today’s post to all of the different uses for coconut oil, but since there are SO MANY I decided to focus on just the beauty benefits of coconut oil for today. We’ll have plenty of time to cover more coconut oil uses later =)
Apply coconut oil directly to skin for it’s incredible healing & hydrating properties. Coconut oil has natural SPF protection (approx. 4 SPF) & it helps protect skin from free radicals.
Coconut oil penetrates deep into skin tissue for intense hydration, helping to firm & brighten skin tone. It’s also packed with vitamin K & E, which have properties that help protect skin from pre-mature aging.*Apply it to your lips for a natural chap stick too!
Apply coconut oil to dark marks, scars & age spots to help lighten them and reduce their appearance! The natural vitamins in coconut oil have intense healing properties for skin.
Rub a bit of coconut oil between your palms and apply to friz & fly-aways to keep them at bay! Use a little coconut oil along with your regular conditioning treatment, it naturally penetrates the hair shaft, increasing elasticity & leaving hair super smooth.
