What can't coconut oil do?
Coconut oil is a very helpful thing to keep handy. Not only is it great for cooking certain meals, because of its ability to withstand high temperatures, but, it also works great as mouthwash, a lip scrub, and a skin moisturizer.
For mouthwash, put a tea spoon full in your mouth and swish it around for a couple minutes and then go ahead and spit it out. This process is called oil pulling and results in your teeth being whiter and stronger. Extremely beneficial and can be done everyday!
For a healthy natural lip scrub, mix oil coconut oil with sugar, about half and half, until becomes a pasty substance. Use your toothbrush or just your fingers to rub your lips and make get rid of any dead skin.
As a skin moisturizer, you can safely use it on any part of your body including your face. Just apply lightly and gently massage it into your skin.
