This month I have been really loving coconut oil. I’ve always known of coconut oil and the amazing benefits of coconut oil, but I’ve never looked into it. About two months ago I’ve decided to buy a pot of coconut oil. Not knowing what to do with it lead to the pot being left in the cabin for about a month, but slowly I‘ve worked this gem into my daily life.

COCONUT OIL

Coconut oil is a superfood with a lot of health benefits. Coconut oil aids in managing blood sugar control, help our bodies gain a resistance to both viruses and bacteria’s that cause illness. It helps with digestion and reduces cholesterol which decrease heart infarcts. It also helps our metabolism as it contains mystical fats called medium chain triglycerides. By breaking these down in the liver it can lead to efficient burning energy. Lots of facts here and there, but definitely a handy thing to have.

I use the perfectly pure coconut oil which I bought from De Tuinen. De Tuinen is a shop in The Netherlands that sells completely natural products. I also buy a lot of skincare products here which are AMAAAZING.

Not only does coconut oil have a lot of health benefits, but there is also a mind blowing amount of ways to use coconut oil. Coconut oil has especially become a part of my daily routine after it has taken an important place in my skincare routine.

MAKE UP REMOVER

Not long ago, I’ve started wearing the Lashsensation by Maybelline in waterproof to which I must add is amazing, but waterproof mascara is a horror to take off. Often I ended up sleeping with left over mascara, because I couldn’t take it off. Until I discovered coconut oil as a makeup remover. I have this stored in a toiletry bottle which I bought from the drugstore. Every evening I pump some coconut oil on my fingers and gently rub it on my eyelashes to take off the mascara. I also use this for my face makeup with the same routine. It leaves my skin and lashes really soft and it’s really gentle.

EYELASH GROWTH SERUM

Some people are born with long lashes and others are not. I was the unlucky one who was not, but this eyelash serum has helped me grow my lashes. It’s completely natural and very easy to make.

YOU WILL NEED

I have this stored in a tiny toiletry container. Before going to sleep, I gently put this on my eyelashes focusing on the roots with a cotton swab. My eyelashes end up thicker and longer. Did I also mention that it is completely natural?

SHAVING CREAM

I absolutely hate shaving body parts. It scares me, because I have very sensitive skin, but after trying it with coconut oil and feeling how soft my legs end up being I really don’t hate it that much anymore. I have some coconut oil stored in a mini body butter container from The Body Shop. I put some on my fingers and rub it with my hands to melt the oil. When done I smear my legs all over and shave my legs.

HAIR OIL

Coconut oil is proven to be the healthiest oil so it probably would be perfect as a hair oil, right? Well, yes it is. I put some coconut oil in my hair in the evening before my hair washing day. I sleep with the coconut oil in my hair and the next morning I wash it all off and it leaves me with shiny and soft hair. If you don’t want your pillows dirty you can put a towel on your pillows or put your hair in a towel while you sleep.

Coconut oil is now a must in my daily routine. Give it a go, because you will definitely love it. Do you have a must in your daily routine? Share it with me! I would love to know. 

Love, Yet.
