Amazing benefits of Coconut oil

1) Body butter- shea butter + coconut oil + jojoba oil+ essential oils of your choice for a butter, that's great for your skin.
2) Body scrub- Make your won body scrub my mixing coconut oil with coconut sugar to reveal smoother skin. Try it a few times a week.
3) Body oil- Rub coconut oil in hands to warm it up and then use it in lieu of body lotion. Focus on spots like elbows and knees that tend to get dryer.
4) Cold sore treatment- Dabbing coconut oil on cold sores can help speed up healing time, alleviate pain and reduce the risk of scarring or discoloration.

9) Face wash- This face wash will kill any bacteria ( goodbye pimples), white hydrating skin to keep it looking and feeling vibrant.
10) Home-made deodorant- Coconut oil soothes and naturally deodorises- I'm using it since almost 4 years- 1/2 tsp baking soda + 2 tsp coconut oil + 2 tsp rose water ( you may use any essential oil), but as I'm allergic to strong smell, I don't use essential oil, rose water is very mild. I feel this home-made deo is far better than any deo that you buy.
11)Insect repellent-  To make about 8 ounces of repellent, simply mix 8 ounces of coconut oil with 40-50 drops of essential oils- lemongrass, citronella, eucalyptus. Reapply every few hours or as needed. Applying coconut oil over your hands and legs, I've used to keep away mosquitoes !
