Coconut oil beauty uses

    

Soooooooo a few uses of coconut oil below!

1. As a moisturizer
2. As a replacement to chemical laden shaving cream when shaving your legs
3. As massage oil
4. To add shine to your make up (So put very little oil over your make up, to give a glow)
5. To remove make up (like look at the pic below, I used it to remove eye make up) and then to remove blusher. It works sooo well! And guess what? Natural! No chemicals! WOO! 

LIPS: DIY LIPGLOSS

After watching Jeannie Mai advertise how to make your own lipgloss, I finally made time to buy the ingredients and try it out.  

What you will need:

1. Aloe Vera (Just one is enough)
2. Coconut oil (Cooking oil )
3. Vitamin E oil
4. Teaspoon
5. Bowl
6. Container/Vial/Anything to store your lipgloss in

How to do it:

• Scoop out a teaspoon of Aloe vera
• Half a teaspoon of coconut oil
• MIX
• Add in a drop or 2 of pure vitamin E oil
• MIX
• Store in container/wherever you want

After trying this out, I realized that if you want a natural lipgloss, using coconut oil on your lips is really all you need. I suppose the added benefits of the aloe vera and vitamin E is a bonus though. (They are both super moisturizing for our skin, reduce signs of aging skin, contain antioxidants and super for healing the skin)

If you are in a rush , my advice, and something I will start doing too is to just store a little coconut oil in a vial I can carry along in my handbag for a quick lip glossy look. 

I also realized that the sheen provided by coconut oil (only) on my lips lasted way longer than the aloe and vit e combination. However, I must stress that my lips felt SO supple when I used both. Really, I have sensitive skin, I have used Vaseline, lip balms and numerous lip gloss brands, if anything, this is a natural alternative to a lip moisturizer. I'd totally recommend it to everyone.
