             Coconut Oil Uses for Beauty:

              Unexpected Hair & Skin Benefits

Coconut oil is the new hot trend these days for all the right reasons—it’s super easy to incorporate into your meals or use on your skin and does wonders for the body. There are endless benefits to incorporating coconut oil into your daily routine, so here are a few top reasons to start using it as soon as possible!

                                                        Makeup Remover: Even the most resistant waterproof mascara doesn't stand a chance against coconut oil. Apply it directly to the face as an oil cleanser, or let it sit on your skin with a cotton pad. Makeup will melt away

Face Moisturizer: Just as you can use it on your body, you can use coconut oil on your face to moisturize your skin. It's particularly effective as a primer to soften the skin before applying makeup. It'll give you a glowy, dewy look after you apply your foundation.

Relieves Stress

Stress is common—almost too common—in the world, and is often the common factor when we get sick, pimples, or just aren’t feeling like our usual selves. Applying and massaging coconut oil to the head helps eliminate stress and even ailments as simple as a headache.
