Yes, the same coconut I eat is the very same coconut oil I use on my skin and scalp! Be sure to use Organic, Fresh-pressed, unrefined, expeller-pressed coconut oil. Extensive research in the tropics shows that people who follow a traditional diet high in coconut oil enjoy excellent cardiovascular health. Improve blood cholesterol. I conveniently carry a trusted brand of coconut oil at Deep Roots Massage. Remember to use very little, it goes a long way!

Skin and Hair: Use as a non comedogenic, gentle, all natural moisturizer all over your face and body. I have acne prone skin myself and use coconut oil every single day and it has never caused me any breakouts. My skin is soft and smooth, free of wrinkles and well hydrated.

Believe it or not, oil combats oil!! I will dedicate an entire post to that later.

I have visited Maui and it’s all they ever use in all of their skin and hair conditioning care! It’s no wonder their skin is so milky smoothe and beautiful! It is also all they use for massage oil. It doesn’t stain sheets, it’s all natural, it retains moisture content and has strong anti-microbial properties and protects the skin from infection. It is loaded with Vitamin E which is essential for healthy skin repair. It prevents premature aging because of the anti-oxidant properties it has.

Use as a makeup remover – it effortlessy removes mascara, conditioning and repairing your eyelashes at the same time!

Use for skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

Also great used as a skin cleanser. Since commerical soaps will only clear away surface dirt, oils actually attract dirt and oil within the pore and extract it, leaving skin clean and free of harsh residues.

Repair torn cuticles.

Hydrate and replenish your lips.

Use on your baby’s diaper rash to heal and soothe the skin condition.

Add a very small amount to the palms of your hands and use to smoothe away hair frizz.

Work into scalp and hair for deep conditioning and hair replair.

Great for healing athlete’s foot, cracked heels and nail fungus.

FOOD: One of my favorite way to use coconut oil is to gently melt it and dip fruit into it and allow it to harden into a candy. Use in place of canola oil to pop popcorn, stir fry, use as a delicious bread spread, use in baking, make sauces, use in place of butter. Add it to smoothies! YUM!
