Trying Coconut Oil!

Hey guys!

I’ve seen a couple of blog posts and YouTube videos with people using coconut oil. There’s so many uses for coconut oil, not only is it a healthy alternative to other oils used for cooking but can also be used to keep you hair, body and face radiant! So I decided to purchase a jar and see what the fuss is all about.

First of all, I knew that coconut oil wasn’t a liquid but I wasn’t expecting it to be quite as solid as it is! To use it you really need to rub it in your hands for a minute or two. I’ve been using coconut oil as a cleanser for the last week and I’m really enjoying it. It’s good for getting makeup off, especially for eye makeup it’s amazing . Also because it is an oil it leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturised (though I do still go in with my normal moisturiser after!)

I’m definitely going to keep using coconut oil anyway. I think I’ll try it as a deep conditioner for a hair treat! Also I might try ‘oil pulling’ which is a technique people use for healthier teeth and gums when you swish coconut oil in your mouth for 20 minutes or so.

Do you guys use coconut oil for anything?
