TOP Ways to Use Coconut Oil in your Beauty Routine

So many people who are close to me (especially my boyfriend) are aware of my obsession with Coconut Oil. I constantly smell like a baby coconut as I use it for skincare, hair care and for cooking! Its such a versatile product and has really helped my skin over the past year or so. So without further a-due I share with you my favourite ways to use coconut oil.

Make-up Remover -
Coconut oil is my go-to makeup remover. I cannot stress how well this stuff melts away all of your makeup and leaves your skin nourished and clear. Coconut oil has a surprising amount of antibacterial properties and works really well as a gentle cleanser. Just massage it all over your dry face and see your makeup lift and melt away. Simply wipe it off with a damp cloth and your good to go! As for my oily skin type ladies, do not fear! Oil cleansers are your best friends, trust me  :)

Eye Cream and Eyelash Conditioner -
Coconut oil does wonders for the fragile and sensitive skin under your eyes. It moisturises the skin and also conditions your eyelashes :) As it is super oily I only recommend  it for night time, but by morning your undereye area will glow and your lashes with be nourished and fluttery.

Coconut, Blueberry and Chia seed mask/scrub -
This is one of my all time DIY face scubs! Is is so easy, so nourishing and super quick to whip up.
I just put a good 'blob' of coconut oil, about a tablespoon of blueberries and chia seeds that have soaked in water into a blender. I try not to over blend it as the chuckyness of it can be used to lightly exfoliate your skin. Gently massage the mixer over your face and neck and leave for 10-15 mins, then swip off with a damp cloth. Like a Babies Bum!

Hair Mask -
Coconut oil is one of the only oils that are fine enough to penetrate the hair. God I hate the word penetrate! I love to add a large scoop of coconut oil, 1 egg, honey and an avocado into a blender and combine until it is a fine paste. Pop it on your hair, focusing on the tips and add any access to your scalp. This mask will soften and nourish the most tired and damaged locks, with NO chemicals or nasties.
