6. Cuticle oil
If you’re cuticles are like mine and are constantly dry and tear easily, then you know how frustrating and painful it can be at times. While there are many cuticle creams you can put on your nails, many of them are overpriced. Next time you need a good cuticle treatment, try rubbing some coconut oil into them. You don’t need much as a little will go a long way. For best results, repeat every few days to keep them moisturized and soft.
7. Nipple Cream
Oh, how beautiful and wonderful breastfeeding can be. It can also be very painful as many women’s nipples crack and chaff from their baby sucking. There is relief for you nursing mama’s out there. Rub some coconut oil onto your nipples as needed to help moisturize the chapped skin and soothe the pain. Be sure to pat the area dry before applying it. It’s the perfect nipple cream because it’s all natural and won’t harm your little baby as they will be putting their mouth on the treated area.
8. Makeup Remover
Coconut oil is a wonderful make up remover. All you have to do is put some on a cotton pad or cotton swab and gently rub around your eye in a circular motion. It should remove the make up easily and completely. Now you no longer have to worry about running out of makeup remover or buying expensive products to remove your makeup.
9. Moisturizer
If you haven’t already caught on, coconut oil is an awesome natural moisturizer for your skin. It locks in the moisture and keeps your skin feeling silky smooth and soft. You can use it on any part of your body to help soften and moisturize. It’s also great to use on your children because it’s all natural and won’t harm their skin, especially if they have sensitive skin.
