Tips For Using Coconut Oil In Your Beauty Routine



I love how coconut oil has made my skin appear so much brighter and younger looking - but hate the oily mess it can create in my bathroom.  Here are some great tips I’ve discovered to prevent waste, mess and enjoy using this miraculous oil more. 

First of all, only buy extra virgin cold pressed organic unrefined coconut oil because it contains no destructive bleaches, chemicals or heat processes that destroy its’ health benefits. 

I keep a small amount of coconut oil in a prep bowl (from my kitchen) on my bathroom vanity. I put approximately ¼ cup of oil in the bowl -which lasts about a week. When it's empty I run it through the dishwasher and refill it from the container I keep stored in my kitchen for cooking and nutritional purposes.
