Coconut oil Beauty Tricks:

Massage oil: it can moisturize dry skin and has no side effects. It is good for all skin types. It is also known to be anti-aging by minimizing wrinkles and sagging skin. Coconut oil can be used to make your own DIY body butter, body scrub,cuticle oil, detox bath, facial wash, deodorant, makeup remover, lip balm, shaving gel, and even sun burn relief.

Although it can relieve sunburn, it is also a great tanning oil for those who like to get a dark tan in the summer. I personally used it outdoors to tan and it absorbed quickly and made my skin super tan! I don’t recommend this to anyone who doesn’t like getting a sunburn or tan.

Hair Care: Helps hair growth and is a great substitute for conditioner. It aids with damaged hair and gets rid of dandruff due to dry scalp. There are hair masks that can be made with coconut oil as well that will leave your hair looking healthy, refreshed, and shiny!
