15 Coconut Oil Hacks

Gentle Makeup Remover 

Grab that bottle of coconut oil and use this to help break down your mascara, eye shadow, and foundation on the skin. Then grab a cotton pad and add a dab of coconut oil, then wipe away.

This method works great on breaking down the makeup without being harsh on the skin. Once you remove your makeup, follow up by cleaning your face with a facial cleanser, to remove any excess oil leftover on the skin. 

Skin Moisturizer 

Winter or summer, coconut oil is an excellent moisturizer for your dry skin. Just apply some coconut oil to the skin after you get out of your shower!

Rub on legs, thighs, arms, belly, and anywhere else to get rid of dry skin. A little goes a long way!

Do this after you shower and allow it to soak into the skin through the night. Moisturizing is just one step in how to get your legs ready for the beach.

Makeup Brush Cleaner 

Cleaning your brushes is something you need to always be on top of. I have found that using one part coconut oil to two parts antibacterial soap is a great way to break down the foundation and makeup that builds up on your brushes while being gentle enough not to harm your brushes! 

Tame Frizzy Hair 

A little bit of oil goes a long way, so remember that going into this coconut oil hack, so your hair doesn’t appear greasy! But add a tiny dollop of oil to your hands and rub together.

Then work it over your frizzy hair, to get a smooth and silky finish. Brush and style as you usually would. 

Lip Balm & Sugar Scrub 

I have found that using coconut oil for dry, chapped lips works excellent. It moisturizes and creates a barrier to protect your skin.

You can also mix a little sugar with coconut oil to use to exfoliate your lips, then rinse and pat dry! Show off your smooth lips with this nude lip tutorial.

Shaving 

If you run out of shaving cream, no fear, reach for the coconut oil. Apply a layer of oil on your legs and shave away. This will help to prevent cuts or knicks and also moisturize your skin as well. 

Undereye Cream 

A tiny dollop under the eyes will help with fine lines and wrinkles. Plus it is light enough you can do this before you apply your makeup in the morning if you want. Or use at night! 

Exfoliant 

Mix coconut oil with coarse salt or even sugar to create a homemade exfoliant. You can also add in some essential oils if you want, and use that in the shower or bath to help freshen up your skin. 

This is great to do before you apply sunless tanner, so it goes on nice and smooth. Or exfoliate the skin a few times a week for silky smooth skin!

Stimulate Hair Growth

Apply coconut oil to the scalp and give a gentle massage to help stimulate hair growth. And it’s a great way to get rid of dandruff. Once you allow it to sit a few minutes, rinse clean and then follow up with shampoo and conditioner. 

Here are some more tips to grow hair faster. 

Deep Conditioner

Is your hair dry and damaged? Coconut oil makes a great deep conditioner and is an excellent way to repair dry hair. 

Eczema Relief Cream  

Skip the expensive creams and salves, and apply coconut oil to your troubled areas. Coconut oil can help reduce inflammation of eczema naturally and bring you relief. 

Cuticle Oil 

If you want to skip the mani and pedi outside the home, or treat your nails in between, use coconut oil on your cuticles. This will hydrate and nourish your nail beds for that smooth and clean look of your nails. 

Scar Treatment 

If you have scars, consider applying coconut oil day and night. The vitamin E in the oil is wonderful for helping to diminish any of the scarrings you might have.

Whitening Toothpaste 

Mix coconut oil and baking soda together to create a paste and then scrub those pearly whites. This is a natural way to brighten your teeth in a hurry, that doesn’t cost much at all.

Just use like regular toothpaste and then rinse mouth out. You could also swish a teaspoon of coconut oil in your mouth for oil pulling.

Face Mask 

Want a DIY face mask? Mix equal parts of honey and coconut oil and apply to face. Let sit for 10-15 minutes then wash your face clean. Silky smooth skin for days!
