与椰子油的18个惊人的秀丽技巧

探索椰子油对头发，皮肤和面部的天然美容功效。

让我们向后工作吧。当你想到椰子油的健康益处时，我们会想到最后想到的是在你脸上涂抹可食用的植物油脂。或者你的手臂。或椰子油为你的头发。但是越来越多的研究，无数的专家和一群自然美的奉献者都在为这些东西发誓。他们是什么？

是的，据我们的专家说。椰子油被用于许多天然美容产品，并且有充分的理由：它天然抗菌和抗真菌，皮肤椰子油是一种极好的保湿剂，它可以比其他油更好地渗透头发，而且，它闻起来像饼干。

“百胜，”亚利桑那中西医结合中心奖学金项目主任Tieraona Low Dog博士说。“还有比椰子油更甜美的东西吗？”

我们什么都想不到。但是我们可以在你自己的家中想到它的18种惊人用途，它们不需要花钱购买商店购买的产品。事实上，你所需要的只是一件事：原始的（最好是有机的）初榨椰子油。

亲自尝试这些全天然的DIY美容技巧椰子油！

头发

1.隔夜对你的股线进行深度调节

根据研究，许多护发素含有椰子油是有原因的：它比矿物质和葵花籽油能更好地渗透头发（并防止蛋白质流失）。“我使用椰子油将头发和皮肤用于深层调理，”Tasneem Bhatia博士说，他是一名综合医生，也是亚特兰大整体与整合医学中心的老板。在头发上涂上四分之一大小的疙瘩，梳理，然后将其堆成松散的发髻。你需要在枕头上放一条柔软的毛巾或睡在浴帽上。早上，洗发水像往常一样用温和的清洁剂。

2.驯服毛躁

如果你努力驯服你的鬃毛，椰子油肯定会有所帮助。用一点油来平静你的毛躁，飞散的股线，让你的头发看起来光滑和抛光。作为直油的替代品，您还可以使用这种椰子油头发精华素的产品，它可以滋养您的头发，同时保护它免受热量造型工具的影响。

3.增添光泽

将少量有机椰子油涂抹在头发末端，如果你有深色头发，可以增加一点光泽。请记住，轻拍会让你：再多了，你的头发可能会显得油腻。

4.尽量减少头皮屑

头皮屑最常见的原因之一是头皮干燥。但是在你花钱买特殊洗发水之前，试着用超保湿椰子油治疗来减少问题：在炉子上用低火焰加热2或3汤匙油。一旦液化，立即将其从炉子中取出，这样它就不会变得太热。然后，按摩油到你的头皮。如果你有任何剩余的油，你可以用它来涂抹其余的头发。让油在你的头皮上坐30分钟，然后用洗发水洗掉。（淋浴帽将包含混合物，并防止它在你等待时滴在你身上。）如果问题仍然存在，尝试其他一些头皮屑补救措施。

5.清洁你的脸

因为椰子油具有天然的抗菌，抗真菌，保湿作用，并且根据研究，对于特应性皮炎非常有效，许多女性也因为它的面部使用而作为夜间保湿剂。尝试双重清洁方法：只需在脸部和颈部以圆形运动方式揉搓油，随时轻轻按摩。完成后，用您最喜欢的清洁剂清洗残留物。（如果您容易长痘痘，除非您知道您的皮肤能够耐受椰子油，否则请避免使用此技术。）

6.去除眼部化妆品

是的，椰子油甚至适用于防水睫毛膏！将一点点放在棉球上并轻轻扫过眼睛，同时注意你的眼睛。油可以很好地分解蜡质，墨水的眼妆，并使精致的区域保持水分。完成后，像往常一样洗脸。

7.给自己一个完美的噘嘴

用椰子油制成的自制着色光泽，可以消除干裂，片状的嘴唇，甚至为你的噘嘴增添一抹色彩。为了制作它，只需将旧口红和一些椰子油混合在一起。对于需要更多TLC的嘴唇，可以通过用口红位代替一些红糖和蜂蜜来制作滋养唇膏。将混合物放在柔软的牙刷上，然后用圆周运动轻轻去除角质。将混合物放在嘴上一分钟，然后用湿布将其取下。

去角质后，滋润你的嘴唇

一旦你的嘴唇如丝般光滑，用一点椰子油浸泡它们，增加水分和光泽。你可以添加直的椰子油（在一个像接触盒一样的小容器中），制作你自己的DIY混合物，或购买用椰子油制成的有机润唇膏，就像这个三包装，也使用桉树/薄荷精油，香草和柑橘。

9.再给你breat ^ h

还记得拉油吗？事实证明，在嘴里晃动椰子油（或任何有机蔬菜食用油）实际上可能会将毒性从口中拉出来。只需将它绕在嘴上旋转10到20分钟，直到它变成乳白色，然后将其吐出到垃圾桶中并用水冲洗。一位作家发现，如果这听起来像是花费15分钟的粗暴方式，那么你会感到惊讶 - 它会很快变得常规，甚至可以感到冥想和放松。

10.突出你的脸颊

没有什么东西可以像疲惫的小荧光笔那样让人疲惫不堪，但你不需要商店购买的产品来达到同样的效果。只需扫上有机椰子油少量顶级化妆和息事宁人。它看起来像你的皮肤，但更发光，这就是为什么许多天然化妆品牌将其用作配方中的基本成分。如果您正在寻找更便携的选择，可以尝试一下RMS Beauty（$ 38，amazon.com）最受欢迎的Living Luminizer ，它有椰子油基和光反射颜料。

身体

11.抚慰干燥的双手

当你在旅途中时，这不适用于干燥的数字，但在家里，皮肤椰子油可以在洗碗干手上创造奇迹。你可以在当地的杂货店买一个罐子，或者试试Viva Naturals的这种有机椰子油（$ 10.25，amazon.com）。“我在厨房的水槽里放了一罐有机特级初榨椰子油，洗完手后再放一点，以保持柔软和湿润，”Low Dog说。如果你用椰子油做饭 - 你可以在烘焙食谱中加入黄油，因为它在室温下是坚固的 - 也可以为你的手舀出一点额外的东西。“每当我用椰子油做饭时，我都要确保用它来润湿我的双手，”总部位于纽约的整体健康和营养教练Katrine van Wyk说。

12.剃光你的腿

传统的剃须膏是一种昂贵的化学品混合物，你不需要在你的腿或腋下做一个很好的清洁剃须。另一方面，椰子油价格低廉，天然抗菌，并且具有神圣的气味。此外，它的皮肤舒缓特性会让你的双腿看起来水润（但从不油腻）。

13.滋润你的身体

最近的动物研究发现，当局部使用时，用于皮肤的原始有机椰子油可以加速伤口愈合，人体研究发现它可以有效增加水分，减少严重干燥皮肤的水分流失。听起来像是给我们一个非常好的乳液配方！它也是健康专家的最爱。Wyk说：“味道鲜美，非常实惠，让我的皮肤感觉滋养和光滑。”

14.稍微减少一下

许多商店购买的按摩油以椰子油或荷荷巴油为基础。切出中间人，直接去瓶子。它很滑，亲肤，保湿。

15.创造一个甘美的身体磨砂膏

这里有一个小小的DIY美容秘诀：那个商店买的身体擦洗你为特殊场合保存？这是浪费钱。那是因为你可以用你厨房里已有的原料制作一个。低狗同意。“我喜欢这样做。它非常滋润，非常适合皮肤，价格便宜，并且幸福地没有化学物质，你无法发音！” 为了制作自己的产品，Low Dog建议在极低的温度下融化1/2 c椰子油。将其倒入1 c红糖或盐中搅拌均匀。如果您手边有一些，可以加入五滴您最喜欢的精油或一些纯香草精，以便擦洗，这样香气让您想要吃它。

16.滋养破裂的角质层

将椰子油按摩到角质层和指甲周围的皮肤可以为身体常常被忽视的部分带来急需的水分。好处？你将抵挡破裂的皮肤，防止挂钉，并有更健康的甲床。

17.在洗澡时缓解牛皮癣

除了使热水浴更加奢华，在浴缸中加入几汤匙椰子油可以缓解由牛皮癣引起的发痒，鳞状皮肤，滋润肌肤。但是，不要用油过度或在浴缸中徘徊太久，以免你最终被困在这个不幸的女人身上。

18.修补你的小狗的爪子

好吧，这个对你的狗来说是一个美容秘诀，但即使是我们毛茸茸的朋友也需要一点点呵护！如果你的小狗喜欢徒步旅行和其他户外活动，他的爪子会因为所有的压力而变得破裂和生硬。在他的爪子上擦一点椰子油 - 它既可以作为防腐剂和保湿剂，也可以帮助他愈合。要估计使用量，请测量约1茶匙。每10磅体重的油。虽然椰子油已被证明对大多数狗来说是完全安全的，但如果您的幼犬有健康状况，您应该先使用兽医检查。

18 Amazing Beauty Tricks With Coconut Oil

Discover the natural beauty benefits of coconut oil for your hair, skin, and face.

Let's work backward. When you think about the health benefits of coconut oil, we're going to guess that the last thing that comes to mind is rubbing the edible plant grease all over your face. Or your arms. Or coconut oil for your hair. But a growing body of research, countless experts, and an army of natural-beauty devotees swear by the stuff for just about everything. Are they onto something?

Yes, according to our experts. Coconut oil is used in many natural beauty products, and for good reason: It's naturally antibacterial and antifungal, coconut oil for skin is an excellent moisturizer, it can penetrate hair better than other oils, and, well, it smells like cookies.

"Yum," says Tieraona Low Dog, MD, director of the fellowship program at the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine. "Is there anything more luscious than coconut oil?"

We can't think of anything. But we can think of 18 amazing uses for it in your very own home that don't require spending a fortune on store-bought products. In fact, all you need is one thing: Raw (and preferably organic) virgin coconut oil.

Try these all-natural, DIY beauty tricks with coconut oil for yourself!

Hair

1. Deep-condition your strands overnight

There's a reason many conditioners contain coconut oil: It's better able to penetrate hair (and prevent protein loss) than mineral and sunflower oil, according to research. "I use coconut oil for hair and on my skin for deep conditioning," says Tasneem Bhatia, MD, an integrative doctor, and owner of the Atlanta Center for Holistic and Integrative Medicine. Apply a quarter-size dollop to your hair, comb it, and then pile it into a loose bun. You'll want to place a soft towel over your pillow or sleep in a shower cap. In the morning, shampoo as usual with a gentle cleanser.

2. Tame frizz

If you struggle with taming your mane, coconut oil can definitely help. Calm your frizzy, flyaway strands with just a bit of oil to leave your hair looking smooth and polished. As an alternative to straight oil, you can also use products like this coconut oil hair serumthat will nourish your hair while also protecting it from heat-styling tools.

3. Add shine

Smooth a tiny amount of organic coconut oil onto your ends of your hair to add a little shine if you have dark hair. Remember that a dab will do you: Any more and your hair might appear greasy.

4. Minimize dandruff

One of the most common causes of dandruff is a dry scalp. But before you spend money on special shampoo, try minimizing the problem with an ultra-moisturizing coconut oil treatment: Heat 2 or 3 tablespoons of oil on the stove over a low flame. Once it liquifies, immediately remove it from the stove, so it doesn’t become too hot. Then, massage the oil into your scalp. If you have any leftover oil, you can use it to coat the rest of your hair. Let the oil sit on your scalp for 30 minutes and then wash it out with shampoo. (A shower cap will contain the mixture and prevent it from dripping on you while you wait.) If the problem persists, try some of these other dandruff remedies.

Face

5. Clean your face

Because coconut oil is naturally antibacterial, antifungal, moisturizing and, according to research, great for atopic dermatitis, many women swear by its use as a nighttime moisturizer for their face, too. Try the double-cleansing method: Simply rub the oil in circular motions all over your face and neck, giving yourself a gentle massage as you go. When you're done, wash off the residue with your favorite cleanser. (If you're acne-prone, avoid this technique unless you know your skin tolerates coconut oil.)

6. Remove eye makeup

Yes, coconut oil even works on waterproof mascara! Put a little on a cotton ball and gently sweep it over your eyes, paying attention to your under-eyes as well. The oil does a great job breaking down waxy, inky eye makeup, and leaves the delicate area hydrated, too. Once you're done, wash your face as usual.

7. Give yourself the perfect pout

Fend off chapped, flaky lips or even add a pop of color to your pout with a homemade tinted gloss made from coconut oil. To make it, simply mix bits of an old lipstick with some coconut oil. For lips that need a little more TLC, make a nourishing lip scrub by substituting the lipstick bits for some brown sugar and honey. Put the mixture on a soft toothbrush and then use a circular motion to lightly exfoliate your lips. Let the mixture sit on your mouth for a minute and then remove it with a damp cloth.

8. After exfoliating, moisturize your lips

Once your lips are silky smooth, dap them with a bit of coconut oil for added moisture and shine. You can add straight coconut oil (carried in a tiny container like a contacts case), create your own DIY blend, or buy an organic lip balm made with coconut oil, like this three-pack that also utilizes essential oils of eucalyptus/mint, vanilla, and citrus.

9. Freshen your breath

Remember oil pulling? Turns out, swishing coconut oil (or any organic vegetable cooking oil) around in your mouth may actually pull the toxicity out of your mouth. Just swirl it around your mouth for 10 to 20 minutes until it turns a milky white color, then spit it out into the trash and rinse with water. If this sounds like a gross way to spend 15 minutes, you'd be surprised—it becomes routine fairly quickly and can even feel meditative and relaxing, one writer found.

10. Highlight your cheeks

Nothing perks up a tired face like a little highlighter, but you don't need store-bought products to achieve the same effect. Simply sweep a small amount of organic coconut oil on top of makeup and leave it alone. It looks like your skin but glowier, which is why many natural makeup brands use it as a base ingredient in their formulas. If you're looking for a more portable option, try the cult favorite Living Luminizer by RMS Beauty ($38, amazon.com), which has a coconut-oil base and light reflecting pigment.

Body

11. Soothe dry hands

This won't work for dry digits when you're on the go, but at home, coconut oil for skin can work wonders on your dishwashing-parched hands. You can get a jar at your local grocery store, or try this organic coconut oil by Viva Naturals ($10.25, amazon.com). "I keep a jar of organic extra virgin coconut oil by the kitchen sink and put a little on after washing my hands to keep them soft and moist," says Low Dog. And if you cook with coconut oil—you can sub it for butter in baking recipes because it’s solid at room temperature—scoop out a little extra for your hands, too. "Whenever I cook with coconut oil, I make sure to moisturize my hands with it too," says Katrine van Wyk, a holistic health and nutrition coach based in New York.

12. Shave your legs

Conventional shaving cream is an expensive cocktail of chemicals that you don't need to get a nice clean shave on your legs or underarms. Coconut oil, on the other hand, is inexpensive, naturally antimicrobial, and smells divine. Plus, its skin-soothing properties will leave your legs looking hydrated (but never greasy).

13. Moisturize your body

A recent animal study found that when applied topically, virgin organic coconut oil for skin can speed up wound healing, and a human study found it to be effective in increasing hydration and reducing water loss in seriously dry skin. Sounds like a recipe for a really good lotion to us! It's a health-expert favorite, too. Says Wyk: "It smells delicious, is very affordable, and leaves my skin feeling nourished and smooth."

14. Have a little rubdown

Many store-bought massage oils have either coconut or jojoba oil as their base. Cut out the middleman and go straight to the bottle. It's slippery, skin-friendly, and moisturizing.

15. Create a luscious body scrub

Here's a little DIY beauty secret: That store-bought body scrub you save for special occasions? It's a waste of money. That's because you can make one yourself with ingredients you already have in your kitchen. Low Dog agrees. "I love to do this. It's wonderfully moisturizing, great for the skin, inexpensive, and blissfully absent of chemicals you can't pronounce!" To make your own, Low Dog suggests melting ½ c of coconut oil at a very low heat. Pour it over 1 c of brown sugar or salt and stir well. If you have some on hand, add in five drops of your favorite essential oil or some pure vanilla extract for a scrub so fragrant you'll want to eat it.

16. Nourish cracked cuticles

Massaging coconut oil into your cuticles and the skin around your nails can bring some much-needed moisture to an oft-overlooked part of the body. The benefit? You'll fend off cracked skin, prevent hang nails, and have healthier looking nail beds.

17. Relieve psoriasis during bathtime

Aside from making a hot bath even more luxurious, adding a couple of tablespoons of coconut oil to the tub can relieve itchy, scaly skin caused by psoriasis and moisturize your skin. But don't overdo it with the oil or linger in the bath too long, lest you end up trapped like this unfortunate woman did.

18. Mend your pup's paws

Ok, this one's a beauty trick for your dog, but even our furry friends need a little pampering sometimes! If your pup loves hiking and other outdoor activities, his paws can become cracked and raw from all the stress. Rub a little coconut oil on his paws—it'll function as both an antiseptic and moisturizer to help him heal. To estimate how much to use, measure about 1 tsp. oil per 10 pounds of body weight. While coconut oil has been shown to be completely safe for most dogs, you should check with your vet first before using it if your pup has a health condition.
