Here there are some of the uses for this amazing product:
With your hair wet apply it to the middle and tips, avoiding the roots, cover it with a shower or heating cap (if you don't have one you can use a towel) and leave it for more than 30 minutes. It will leave your hair incredibly soft and shinny.
Oil Pulling is another beauty trend, it makes your teeth and gums more healthy and can even whiten your teeth naturally. Though if you don't like the pulling "experience" you can also start brushing your teeth with the coconut oil instead of the regular teeth paste, it will increase your mouth health and even help if you have sensitivity. If you add baking soda to it you will have an even more whitening effect, but please remember that the baking soda can be too abrasive and should not be used in a daily basis.
In your lips the coconut oil can do wonders, it will improve your lips texture and leave a healthy natural glow, if you apply a little more it will give you a shiny gloss effect.
As I mentioned previously coconut oil has anti-bacterial properties and that makes of it a perfect natural deodorant by its own, or you can also use it as an ingredient for making your own deodorant, the nice thing of it is that it can help you to avoid all the chemicals, and doesn't stain clothes.

If you mix it with equal parts of sugar you will have an amazing smoothing body scrub. It is very important to exfoliate your skin and the sugar will do that job, wile the oil gives it the perfect texture and acts like a skin moisturizer at the same time.
The coconut is frequently recommended as a natural anti-aging moisturizer. It also can help recovering the skin from sunburns, and is has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties that can help resolve acne without drying your skin. I personally like adding some drops if it in my moisturizer and basically any other product that I use in my skin, it simply boosts the effect wonderfully.
