Coconut Oil is one of those oils that is extremely versatile externally and internally. Not only is it anti-fungal and anti-bacterial, but it can be used in any diet such as Raw, Vegetarian, Paleo or Vegan. Lauric acid is present in Coconut Oil which is said to kill off harmful pathogens and aid in staving off infections. For myself, I consume one tablespoon of it orally to get all the benefits of this dynamic oil. I also use it in my cooking. Coconut Oil is recommended for oil pulling to cleanse the mouth of harmful bacteria and plaque. It is highly moisturising when applied topically to the face, body and hair. Below is a list of the benefits Coconut Oil contains, and why it should be a staple in your beauty regimes and diet.

Great tips :) love using this to take of my makeup.. Saves me the trouble of buying makeup wipes
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! I use it for absolutely everything. And you're right, why buy make-up remover or make-up wipes when coconut oil does the exact same thing? It iss completely natural without any harmful chemicals or toxins! :)
