I love Coconut, shredded, flour, chunked, chocolate coated, uncoated, cooked, raw.
You sit it in front of me Ill eat it.
But, did you know that there are a ton of different uses for this food source other than consumption.
I have started using coconut oil in my skin care.
Once a week it is used as a cleanser, or a exfoliate. And I have oily skin. Yes, an oil to remove oil and makeup. It really works.
This is the recipe for my skin cleanser:
1. A tablespoon Coconut Oil
2. A teaspoon Castor Oil
Mix together, and massage onto face. Then take a hot steamy towel and rest it over you skin and remove the Coconut mixture. Do this at least 3 times. Wait a few minutes, and use a pea size of Coconut Oil dab it under your eye area and in your dry areas as a moisturizer.
Oil Pulling
What? You don't know what that is....Well, it is away of detoxing metal, and other toxins from your body. It also, helps with gingivitis.
1 Tablespoon of Coconut Oil and pop it in your mouth, swish it around for 20 minutes. Then spit in a baggy.... You do not want to put that down your sink. I had to work up to 20 minutes of swishing. Then floss and brush.
If you have other ideas on how we can incorporate Coconut into my life comment below. Thank you for reading.....
