Coconut Oil is great to use when cooking in place of butter or oil, but did you know it is also wonderful for your face ?
Use organic virgin coconut oil to remove makeup. The makeup slides right off your face when used in a gentle circular motion.
As a facial scrub, add a tablespoon of brown sugar to enough coconut oil to cover your face. Mix thoroughly and gently use in a circular motion and rinse. I noticed immediate results and your face feels amazing!
Note: I store the coconut oils I use for my face in separate containers. The plain is best stored in a medium to large wide mouthed jar, while the scrub works great in a smaller container. You can also add a few drops of lavender essential oil to the scrub mixture for a calming effect for your face. The lavender is great if you have blemishes, rosacea, or very mild sunburn.
I just found another great use for my coconut oil! We were working in the yard and the mosquitos were biting me like crazy; and I usually end up with bites the size of golf balls. I know mosquitos hate lavender, so I mixed about 6 drops of lavender oil with 1/4 cup coconut oil. I rubbed it all over my legs and arms and you could see the mosquitos fly away. I was able to keep those blood suckers away and moisturize my skin at the same time.
