1 Coconut oil as a makeup remover

It is often used as a cosmetic product. For example, to gently remove stubborn makeup from the eyes, put a little coconut oil on a cotton ball or makeup pad, and apply it around the eyes.
Any trace of makeup will go away! Then rinse your face thoroughly.

2 Coconut oil as a deodorant

It contains lauric acid, which destroys the bacteria responsible for body odor. By applying a little coconut oil in the armpits in the morning, you will keep your freshness (and an exquisite fragrance) all day long.

3 Coconut oil to tame curly hair

To keep your frizz under control, warm up a little coconut oil between your palms and run your fingers through your hair. The oil will soften your crazy locks without giving them a greasy appearance.
For an in-depth and 100% natural treatment of the hair, leave the oil on all day. Turmeric is also an excellent alternative for radiant hair. Learn more about the benefits of turmeric for radiant skin and hair!

4 Coconut oil to reduce wrinkles

To reduce wrinkles and make the skin appear smoother, use coconut oil as an eye cream. Also, it stimulates the production of collagen, essential for maintaining a youthful appearance.
Coconut oil is one of the superfoods to consume for beautiful skin.

5 Coconut oil as a moisturizing day cream

Beauty specialists swear by its powerful moisturizing properties: it is absorbed more quickly by the skin than most creams, and it takes very little to have an effect. Try it in its original jar or make your homemade lotion by mixing it with other natural ingredients.

6 Coconut oil as a lip balm

One of its simplest uses: with your fingertips, spread a little coconut oil on your lips, and goodbye chapped skin!

7 Coconut oil as shaving cream

If you have sensitive skin, swap your usual brand of shaving cream for coconut oil. Its creamy texture allows an impeccable shave while hydrating the skin.

8 Coconut oil against lice

It�s one of the most unexpected uses of this all-purpose oil. If you need to get rid of these unwanted hosts, it is advised on the CoconutOil.com website to rinse the affected area first with apple cider vinegar. Let the hair dry (without shampooing!) And rub the hair and scalp with coconut oil. Let it act overnight: it will exterminate lice by suffocation.

9 Coconut oil to boost your energy

It contains medium-chain triglycerides, very special fats that are expended on energy rather than being stored by the body. Add a tablespoon to your morning smoothie, or spread your toast, and you will see your energy soar.

10 Coconut oil for a perfect tan

It does not guarantee a sun protection factor (SPF), but if you are used to using sun oil, replace it with coconut oil. Fans say it helps skin tan faster while keeping it well hydrated, with less chance of burning and peeling.
