7 reasons why I can’t get enough of coconut oil

1. The cheapest moisturiser you will ever buy! I’m all for natural skin care, and all for saving my pennies. Coconut oil will cost you around $10 for a medium sized jar and that will last you ages. Body is best for coconut oil as is it quite oily so I tend to avoid it as a face moisturiser. And another quick tip, I find it is best to apply at night as it can take a little while for the skin to fully absorb it. Be prepared for the softest legs going around when you use coconut oil on a regular basis.

2. It is a great make up remover! Gentle and moisturising at the same time. Follow with some warm water and you've got a clean, fresh face

3. It is great to cook with. Unlike olive oil and other vegetable based oils coconut oil maintains its health benefits when it is heated. Swap your olive oil for coconut oil when it comes to cooking and do your health a favour.

4. It aids WEIGHT LOSS. Yep, you heard me. Coconut oil is made up of Medium Chain Fatty Acids, which help to moves fatty acids from cells, facilitating weight loss. You’re welcome.

5. It has a good fats, supporting production of hormones as well as maintaining healthy skin.

6. It is antiviral and anti fungal. Having coconut oil internally as well as externally will help to fight any possible pathogens that might be hanging around.

7. Makes a great hair treatment…google it and find one of many amazing recipes out on the net. ​
