Coconut oil is an amazing oil that can be used for a variety of household, personal and health issues.
A few days ago my teenage daughter tried a new face wash in hopes of clearing her skin. Instead it gave her dry red skin that felt like a sunburn…live and learn. I’ve been treating it with pure virgin coconut oil and the skin is responding wonderfully. Not to mention it is helping soothe the burning sensation as well.
It is just another reason I’m COO COO FOR COCONUT OIL!
I love to cook with coconut oil and even add it to my coffee. Not only does it help
But I also use it on my younger daughter’s hair as a deep conditioner (her curls love it). I treat my hands with it every few days and mange to keep that “crocodile skin” at bay. We love it for a lip conditioner as well. With coconut oil, a little goes a long way. By the way, I should mention that I have separate jars for cooking and bodily use. 😉
