Top Beauty Pick I Consider the Coconut

‘I can’t go for a day without coconut oil and use four teaspoons in my salads, meals and green tea’.- Miranda Kerr

Over the last decade, coconut oil has been cited as a miracle cooking and beauty product by nutritionists and those who advocate a clean diet. It's readily available and can replace all cooking oils in your kitchen and body / face oils in your bathroom. at less than €5 for 500ml , its a an absolute steal. I buy mine at Dunnes Stores or any local health food shop. 
 
 
Repair Hair
 
One of the most effective and well known uses for coconut oil is as a frizz-fighting hair product, as oil and water don't mix, the coconut oil on the hair prevents moisture from penetrating the hair follicle and creating frizz. I rub a small amount of oil between my hands and apply from root to tip for a deep overnight treatment, It works wonders for dry damaged hair. Wash your hair 2/3 times to ensure that the oil is removed. 
 
Body
 
It can be used by expectant women to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy. It can help sooth psoriasis or eczema and improve the appearance of varicose veins and cellulite. When jetting abroad for holidays, don’t forget to pack a jar as it acts as a natural SPF 4 sunscreen. Mix the oil with brown sugar for your very own body scrub- Excellent at removing last day fake tan!
 
 
Oral Health
 
If you are brave enough to gargle coconut oil for a few minutes, it can whiten teeth without the need for abrasive teeth whitening treatments, just mix some coconut oil with baking soda and you have a naturally whitening toothpaste
