Re: Coconut Oil-Whats your favorite use?

I use it on my nails and cuticles. I used to use it as an eye makeup remover but now I use camellia oil instead. Camellia oil is the only oil that doesn't clog pores.

I have sensitive skin issues, Never experienced any problems with coconut oil. In fact! Recently suffered allergic reaction to eye makeup. My Doctor prescribed antibiotic drops, Lid flaked horribly. Coconut oil restored my skin. Coconut oil high in Vitamin E, Give myself facial massage. Recommend betterbody foods brand. My local Wal-Mart carries. Coldpressed- Made in America.

I've used it in my hair.  I hate the taste of it.

I made toothpaste with it.. equal parts of coconut oil, baking soda and  diatomaceous earth...added oil of peppermint! Got the recipe on utube..makes teeth whiter..I like it! Wanted to get away from flouride toothpaste..I'm into holistic~The DE builds the teeth with  the minerals..its makes a paste..my mouth feels clean! The CO also makes a good moisturizer..I add an essential oil...very healing...

I've used it for baking, but now it's only for oil pulling. I add a few drops of cinnamon oil to my spooful before I start. I might try making my own toothpaste with it at some point.
