coconut-oil

Hair treatment: Coconut oil is an excellent pre-conditioner and provides the essential proteins required for the re-growth of damaged hair. Regular massage of the head with coconut oil can also prevent dandruff. Soften 1-2 tsp (depending on the length of your hair) of solid oil in the palm of your hands by rubbing them together. Massage oil through your hair evenly while gently rubbing the scalp to stimulate blood circulation. Leave on hair for 30-60 minutes or overnight for a very deep conditioning treatment. Rise thoroughly in the shower with warm water and then wash as normal. 

 

EYE MAKE UP REMOVER:SCOOP ABOUT 1/4 TEASPOON OF COCONUT OIL OUT ONTO THE FINGERS, IF SOLID RUB BETWEEN YOUR FINGERS UNTIL A LIQUID - THE HEAT WILL TURN IT TO A LIQUID. CLOSE EYES AND GENTLY SPREAD AND MASSAGE OVER YOUR EYE LIDS, LASHES AND UNDER EYE AREA, WILL NOT HURT OR STING YOUR EYES BUT MAY MAKE EYES BLURRY FOR A MOMENT - BUT THAT WILL GO AWAY. USE A WARM WET WASH CLOTH TO WIPE AWAY THE MAKE-UP AND OIL, THEN SPLASH AND RINSE YOUR FACE WITH WARM WATER. RINSE WASH CLOTH WITH WARM WATER AND THEN RE-WIPE THE ENTIRE FACE. REPEAT THE WHOLE PROCESS IF NECESSARY. FINISH WITH YOUR FAVOURITE VISION MOISTURISER. 

 

Body: Can also be used for massage and as a body moisturiser. Apply any time to extra dry or damaged skin. For oilier skin, apply before the shower for a general skin rejuvenation treatment. Note: coconut oil can make surfaces very slippery. Be careful not to slip if applied to soles of feet while in the shower.

 

COOKING: Replace other cooking oils with coconut oil for greater health and taste, especially tasty with a range of foods including; eggs, seafood, smoothies and for baking and deserts. Use a table spoon per serve, some health regimes recommend 2 table spoons per day.
