{12 Skin Care Recipes Using Coconut Oil}

March 29, 2013

I found something new I LOVE! I am in Florida visiting my mom and she has a jar of coconut oil in her cupboard. I’m sure you’ve heard of it. I had heard of it but never tried it. When I saw it in her cupboard I knew I needed to try it. I LOVE it! I have very dry skin and my body was in need of some moisturizing. It made my skin feel so good! I liked it so much I wanted to find some skin care recipes using coconut oil so I can make some for myself. I thought I’d share them with you as well.

Coconut Oil Deodorant

Rosemary Mint Shaving Cream

Vapor Rub

Eye Makeup Remover

Who knew you could make so many fun things with coconut oil??

Have you used coconut oil before? If so share with me how you use it. I’m excited to learn all I can about the benefits of coconut oil.

We are foster parents and do a lot of respite and after hours placements. We have had a variety of children with ethnic hair and use it as a hair conditioner. Works so much better than the store boughts and so much safer on all of the kids especially the wee little ones.

I haven't made any beauty products with coconut oil yet, but would love to! So far, I just put it on toast in place of butter, then add some jam on top. Sometimes I bake with it too. It tastes good and is so good for you!

We love coconut oil over here! I use it on everything, including our food. My favorite use for skin care is to whip it in the kitchenaid and use it as a moisturizer! Much, much better than regular coconut oil!

We have been cooking solely with coconut oil for about a month, and I just recently started looking for skin care ideas using it as well. My son has severe eczema, so I think this will help him a lot. Thank you for compiling these! :-) Visiting from the LLR linky party.

Thanks so much for putting all of these ideas on one page... definitely will be pinning as a reference. Been dying to try out some uses for coconut oil, but wanted to "collect" several ideas before buying some, since it is a little pricey.Thanks, again, for link up with The Bliss Project!
