Uses for Coconut Oil

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Valdosta chapter.

Hair

Coconut oil is the perfect solution for a dry scalp and dandruff. It can also be used as a great base for deep conditioner.

Teeth

Mixing coconut oil with baking soda and peppermint oil is said to help whiten teeth while alleviating you from bad breath.

Moisturizer

If you run out of lotion for whatever reason coconut oil will be your savior.

Food

Instead of using fatty oils while frying food or baking coconut oil is a healthy substitution.

Shaving Cream

Coconut oil helps the razor glide smoothly, leaving your skin moisturized and smooth.

 

Organic coconut oil can be found at any grocery store, such as Publix and Winn-Dixie!
