If you’ve read my blog, then you know that I reveal my secret beauty weapon: coconut oil. But why is it such a powerful force in my beauty bag? Because I can use it for many things! Here’s a list of the top ways to use coconut oil in your beauty routine.

Moisturize your face and body. It’s hard to find a better skin moisturizer than pure extra virgin coconut oil; it deeply hydrates my skin without clogging my pores (See Kaki West Pics). What many people don’t know is that it’s also a great way to exfoliate; it gets rid of dry or dead skin cells that are responsible for rough and uneven textured skin. Using coconut oil as a daily moisturizer ensures that your skin is soft to the touch from head to toe.

Use it as a shaving cream. Is it possible to shave your legs and moisturize them at the same time? Yes, with coconut oil. Use as a shaving cream to get a clean, close shave and hydrate your legs in time for summer.
