As shaving cream or after-shave.

Shaving itself causes skin damage. Using coconut oil as a shaving cream or after-shave lotion prevents this damage and helps the skin to heal, avoiding the typical burns that occur when using very abrasive products and at the same time avoiding the clogging of pores that occurs with the use of conventional lotions.

For exercise.

The medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil stimulate the metabolism, improve thyroid function and increase energy levels, a perfect combination for successful exercise, reducing accumulated fat and increasing muscle mass. At the same time, coconut oil prevents typical leg cramps by supporting the absorption of calcium and potassium.

For oral hygiene.

Coconut oil has great benefits in oral hygiene both by using it as a toothpaste and by using it as a mouthwash afterwards. Coconut oil helps in the absorption of calcium and magnesium leading to better development of the teeth. At the same time, its use in the mouth prevents gingivitis, gum diseases and cavities.
To make your toothpaste with coconut oil you just have to mix some oil with bicarbonate of soda. As a rinse, mix some oil with warm water.

For skin hydration and as an anti-wrinkle.

The fatty acids, vitamins and minerals present in coconut oil make it one of the most effective moisturising and anti-wrinkle creams available. Its components prevent the free radicals that cause skin aging while stimulating collagen production and skin regeneration. Likewise, coconut oil has a great moisturizing power, so its use promotes a much more hydrated and nourished skin; in addition, the excess oil you may have will disappear.

For baldness.

Coconut oil is a great natural ally when it comes to fighting hair loss. Its fatty acids and vitamins help cell regeneration. At the same time, the oil sticks to the individual hair follicles making them stronger, resulting in more abundant and resistant hair.

For snoring.

The anti-inflammatory properties of coconut oil become a great ally in reducing and even eliminating snoring. Applying a little coconut oil to each of the nostrils helps to reduce inflammation in the mucous membranes, causing a correct flow of air.

DANDRUFF/ FLAKY SCALP

The antimicrobial, anti-viral and fungicidal properties make coconut oil a powerful natural shampoo that when used regularly will kill the fungus that creates dandruff. Soak coconut oil in the head and massage it into each follicle to promote hydration of the scalp. Coconut oil also helps control oil secretion from the scalp itself, another cause of dandruff.

For tattoos.

When we get a tattoo we pierce our skin producing a wound, which immediately must be treated with great care so that it heals and heals correctly. The daily process should be as follows: once the area has been washed with some "hypoallergenic" type of soap, dry and gently apply a layer of coconut oil. Its antibacterial power will accelerate the healing process and decrease the possibility of infection.

Beard

Not satisfied with the growth of your beard?
Coconut oil helps its users in a variety of ways, including the general health of the beard.

A healthy beard is typically one that - among other positive aspects - is growing at a normal rate, and coconut is said to help in that area too.

Coconut oil enthusiasts say that a constant application of coconut oil stimulates beard growth, both in length and thickness.

Applying coconut oil to the beard is not complicated at all. But there are wrong ways to do it, including overusing it for a single application.

You can make a first trial and error attempt, to find the right balance between too much and too much; you start cautiously, with a small amount and adding more only if you notice your beard needs it.

Here are some steps to follow when using coconut oil for your beard:

STEP 1

The first step is to make sure your hands are clean and dry before applying the coconut oil. It is also useful to have a clean and dry beard.

STEP 2

There is no need to heat the coconut oil, but rubbing it between the palms of your hands will melt it and make it warm enough for application.

STEP 3

Apply the oil starting with the tips of the beard and working into the roots and skin.

STEP 4

Massage the oil for a few minutes to make sure you have covered your entire beard.
Leave on for a few more minutes to ensure facial hair receives proper nutrition and hydration from the oil.

STEP 5

If you wish, you can use your coconut oil as a conditioner by massaging a small amount into your beard and then combing it thoroughly with a beard brush or comb.
