The Benefits of Coconut Oil and Its Remedies
There are so many benefits of coconut oil. It is extremely popular for a reason! Here are some overnight remedies of coconut oil for you to consider:
- Smooth Feet: Coconut oil hydrates and nourishes the skin under the feet to heal dry and cracked feet. I suggest putting some on your feet and wearing your favorite cozy socks to wake up to super smooth feet.
- White Teeth: Did you know that your teeth will get whiter if you massage coconut oil on your teeth before going to bed? Try it a few days a week and you will see the difference.
- Long and Thick Lashes: If you mix coconut oil with castor oil, and apply to your lashes every night consistently for week, you will see that you have longer, thicker, and healthier lashes.
- Nail Growth: Coconut oil can help to repair and treat fragile and damaged nails. Especially if you do gel mani-pedis, coconut oil is your best friend to heal your nails.
- Hair Growth: Try coconut oil before or after shampooing. You will see that it will significantly reduce the damage in your hair as well as its protein loss.
- Moisturize Your Body: Coconut oil is so good for your body. It is a wonderful moisturizer for your legs, arms and elbows. It is not recommended to be used on the face as it may be too oily for the face.
- Remove Your Eye Makeup: Coconut oil is a gentle and effective eye makeup remover. Apply with a cotton pad and wipe gently until all traces of makeup are removed.
- Soothe Chapped Lips: Try some coconut oil on your lips right before you go to sleep every night. You will see that you wake up with rosy and smooth lips.
