Top Ten Uses For Coconut Oil
1. Replace your cooking oil with Coconut Oil! A refined coconut oil will be tasteless and odorless.
2. Us on your skin replacing lotion, I rub it on right after I jump out of the shower or bath. I use Trader Joe’s Organic Virgin Coconut Oil that smells AMAZING! Using the link above is an affliate link, meaning I get a tiny little cut if you buy from me 😉
3. Eye Makeup Remover-GENIOUS!
4. On your lips as a natural moisturizer
5. One tablespoon for energy first thing in the morning! Not stored as Fat in the body.
6. Use as your shaving cream, so smooth.
7. Love mixing with Course Salt for a foot massage and to get rid of dead skin on feet.
8. Personal lubricant, all natural, Nuff said.
9. I use a Tablespoon in all of our Smoothies to give the shake an added boost of nutrition.
10. Use on babies butt to help with diaper rash versus traditional creams.
So remember for cooking use Refined Coconut Oil, for use on the body use Trader Joe’s Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, 16 fl oz

HOW TO COCONUT OIL PULL OR SWOOSH
- Take 1-2 Teaspoons Organic Coconut Oil into your mouth
- Swish it around for 20 minutes
- The timing is important from what I read “Oral bacteria are fat-loving. Swishing the oil around your mouth attracts the bad bugs to help pull it off of surfaces”

I use Trader Joe’s coconut oil as a diaper cream. It’s awesome and my little one has only ever had one diaper rash in 20 months, when she was cutting her molars and had an upper respiratory virus at the same time. Coconut oil is awesome.

I could seriously use coconut oil on anything for the smell alone. It’s a huge plus that there are so many health benefits.

I have a friend who swears by it, she uses it to cook and on her split ends! I have used products that contain it, but I have never used just plain coconut oil and I have not cooked with it yet either.

Love this stuff. I put it in my coffee sometimes, cook with it, use it as lotion, put it in my smoothies, and I add essential oils for headache salve, muscle salve and even lip balm!

I’m totally trying this as eye make-up remover! I struggle with finding something that doesn’t burn on my sensitive skin.
