It is very expensive to be a girl. The reality of the situation is that we spend most of our money on health and beauty products. We buy deodorant for our underarms, makeup remover wipes to take off our masks at the end of the day and body lotion to moisturize. But what if you were presented with one product that took care of 95 percent of our beauty and health upkeep? We do have a product like that: coconut oil. Coconut oil is the superfood of health products, as there really isn't much that coconut oil can't fix.
1. Coconut oil can be used as a replacement for lotion or moisturizer. It leaves your skin soft with that shine you only see in the commercials, and is free of the chemicals that are in normal moisturizers!
2. Coconut oil reduces wrinkles.
3. Makeup remover: rub some on your face, eyes and lashes, and the remove with a wet washcloth. It's OK if it gets into your eyes -- No biggy!
4. Oral cleanser: coconut oil can be used a teeth whitener, mouthwash and as an ingredient in homemade toothpaste!
5. Coconut oil can be used as a lip balm -- sleek and shiny.
6. It can be used as a natural lubricant.
7. Deodorant: rub a nickel-size amount to the affected area.
8. Coconut oil can be applied to wounds as a salve.
9. Cellulite reducer: apply to affected area and massage thoroughly.
10. Shaving cream
11. Sunscreen/sun tanner -- either/or!
12. Burn relief

14. Stretch mark reducer -- apply to affected area and massage thoroughly.
15. Insect repellent -- bloodsuckers don't like the smell of coconut!
16. Anti-fungal cream
17. Cold sore treatment
18. Nail cuticle oil
19. Ingrown hair treatment and prevention

Ladies, I suggest we get ourselves some coconut oil. Sleep with it on your pillow, or stash it in your purse. Whatever you do, worship its results.
