Coconut Oil is quite a rage these days in health and beauty. In today's post I will be sharing different "Ways to use Coconut Oil".

Parachute, is a brand by Marico almost synonymous with coconut oil :) (At least in India IMO).

- Eye Makeup Remover - Take some coconut oil on tips of your fingers and massage it over your eyes. Its a fantastic, affordable and easy way to get rid of waterproof makeup.
- Hair Oil - I massage it onto my scalp and hair and leave it through the day (or sometimes overnight). Coconut Oil nourishes your hair, is good for hair growth and dandruff.
- Hair Conditioner - I apply coconut oil on my hair ends and leave it for a couple of hours and wash as usual. Leaves your hair feeling soft and smooth.
- Body lotion - You can use it as a body lotion in winters.
- Coffee Body scrub - Mix coffee/coffee ground, sugar and coconut oil and viola you have a DIY body scrub.
- Body Salt Scrub - Mix Salt, coconut oil and any other essential oil of your choice and you have a body salt scrub.
- Lip balm - You can apply it as a lip balm
- Lip scrub - Coconut Oil + Sugar makes for a good lip scrub
- Cuticle cream - Coconut oil acts as a fantastic cuticle cream or nail cream.
- Bath oil - A couple of drops in your bath and you can have an awesome, moisturizing bath
- Shaving cream - I am huge fan of Lush's Ambrosia shaving cream. Coconut Oil can be used a shaving cream too for a deep shave.
- Clean makeup brushes - I use EVOO for cleaning my eyeliner/lipstick makeup brushes but coconut oil can be used as well.
