We’ve already given you a list of almond oil benefits and I promised to get back to you with more uses of our trusty and multi-faceted essential oils. Team MissMalini loves beauty hacks, tips, and secrets and coconut oil is one sneaky little bugger. You will never have guessed the benefits that a bottle of extra virgin coconut oil can have in your life. Plus it’s super cheap, so go out and stock up on a huge bottle of this!
1) DIY Deodrant
All you need is 3 tea spoons coconut oil, 4 tea spoons baking soda, and 2 tea spoons pure shea butter. Since coconut oil is solid at room temperature, use a double boiler to melt coconut oil and shea butter. Take it off the boiler before it’s completely liquid. Mix the two in a mason jar or any jar with a lid. Then, add the baking soda and mix well. If you’d like, you can add a few drops of other essential oils. Store it in a cool place and use as a natural deo stick!
2) Prevent Pregnancy Stretch Marks
Just rub all over your protruding belly to keep stretch marks at bay!
3) The Age-Old: Hair Moisturiser
Rub it on to your hair and scalp, wear a shower cap, and leave on for hours. This is the best way to moisturise your scalp. The treatment won’t work too well if you leave it on for only an hour.
4) Soothe Psoriasis or Eczema!
This miracle oil, applied topically seriously soothes inflamed skin and skin problems like psoriasis or eczema.
5) Body Scrub
Use it as a body scrub mixed with sugar (preferably brown sugar) to slough off dead skin cells.
