Dab the mixture all over your chapped lips then scrub gently with your fingers in a small circular motion. Do this for about a minute or until your lips feel smooth.

Tip 9 – Body Scrub

Tip 10 – Make-up Remover

Makeup on your face? That might be something you’d like to get rid of. Your face is something you would like to protect. Go ahead instead and use some coconut oil instead of chemicals. It will gently and safely remove all traces of makeup and will leave your face feeling healthy and refreshed.

Tip 11 – Massage oil

Use coconut oil as a massage oil. The benefits of massage are countless and we could all use a massage every now and then. Rather than using a heavy lotion simply use coconut oil.

Tip 12 – Bath oil

Use coconut oil as a bath oil. You can soften your water and your skin with just a bit of coconut oil. Enjoy it’s lovely aroma and gently swish around. You’ll swirl through the water naturally coating your skin leaving it feeling smooth healthy and moisturized.

Tip 14 – Hairballs

You can use coconut oil to reduce hairballs. Strong anecdotal evidence supports using coconut oil to reduce hairballs. There are also those who feel medium chain triglycerides aren’t always the way to go with our feline friends, so you want to do some research to decide what you’re really comfortable with. Rub a little bit of this on your cat’s paws to help improve digestive function and to reduce hairballs.

Tip 15 – Dry nostrils

Dry nostrils feel like they need to be picked at, but picked at nostrils can become sore and irritated. It’s a vicious cycle so why not rub a little bit of coconut oil on the inside of each nostril to moisturize it. Just use a little bit.

Tip 16 – Constipation relief

Take a tablespoon of coconut oil every morning on an empty stomach to help keep your digestive tract running smoothly. You can try up to 2 tablespoons to work out acute constipation as well.

Tip 17 – Fade age and sunspots

Coconut oil can help heal or lessen the appearance of a wide variety of skin blemishes. People have found that daily application of coconut oil has helped fade sun or aging spots. Rub coconut oil on a sunspot daily to help it fade.

Tip 18 – Toothpaste

Use coconut oil as toothpaste. It’s known to have an antibacterial property and potential whitening benefits. Take some coconut oil add some baking soda and maybe even for a little flavor a drop or two of peppermint or cinnamon essential oil. Mix it together and brush away for a DIY toothpaste.

Tip 19 – Prevent stretch marks

If you’ve already acquired unsightly stretch marks, you can slather warm extra virgin coconut oil on these marks before going to bed to reduce their appearance. Massage gently to ensure it penetrates deep into your skin. Use lukewarm water to rinse your affected area in the morning.

Tip 20 – Ink cleaner

You can use coconut oil as an ink cleaner. Don’t cry over your spilled ink. If you find yourself with irritating ink smears and smudges on your hand simply rub a little coconut oil over it let it sit for a minute or two and then wipe it off with a dry clean cloth.

Tip 21 – Cracked heels

Use coconut oil on your cracked heels. If your heels are cracked and dry coconut oil is it super moisturizer. It can help soften and smooth that dry irritated skin. Use a pumice stone first to slough off any excess build-up of dead cells. Then get a little bit of coconut oil on your fingertips and massage it into your heels well and let them dry. Repeat this twice daily.

Tip 22 – Breath freshener

Make somebody feel like they’re lounging in the tropics when they get close up to your face. If you suffer from bad breath kick the problem with coconut oil by holding a teaspoon or so in your mouth until it melts, swish it around a bit and then either swallow it or spit it out into the trash.

Tip 23 – Use it in the sun

Coconut oil has a natural SPF of 4 to 5 and contains antioxidants that help protect the skin from harmful radiation from the Sun. It’s a natural sunscreen. Obviously, though that low amount of SPF isn’t sufficient for a long day in the sun so we add red raspberry seed oil and other essential oils.

Tip 24 – Blood circulation

Improve blood circulation. Coconut oil is very beneficial for improving blood circulation. It has healthy fats and contains medium chain triglycerides that help relieve inflammation of the arteries. This, in turn, improves blood flow throughout the body. Consume 2 to 3 tablespoons of extra virgin coconut oil daily.

Tip 25 – Baby bath

Add to baby’s bath. Babies have wonderfully soft smooth healthy skin and we want to keep it that way. Try adding a little bit of coconut oil to your little one’s bath to help keep the skin soft and smooth. It will also help sooth any little rashes, scrapes or bothersome bug bites that may be bothering the little baby.

Tip 26 – Scalp treatment

Flaky scalp treatment. First, you need to choose your scalp treatment formula for dry flaky dandruff prone or acne-ridden scalps take 6 tablespoons of extra virgin organic coconut oil, olive oil or jojoba oil, depending on your hair type. Mix it with 3 to 4 drops of tea tree oil and 4 to 6 drops of Rosemary oil.

Tip 27 – Highlighter

Cheekbone highlighter. Highlighting your cheeks gives you that little extra glow that people can’t quite place, but it will definitely notice. Apply a small amount of coconut oil the same as you would any other cheekbone cream and give yourself a naturally beautiful glow.

Tip 28 – Kitchen appliances

Lubricate kitchen appliances. Rub a thin layer over the blades of kitchen appliances to keep them running smoothly. Be sure to store in a cool place so that layer stays firm.

Tip 29 – Metal polish

Rub a bit of coconut oil over metal with a soft cloth. Let it sit for a minute and then buff to a shine. It’s helpful to wipe the surface free of dust before applying the oil.

Tip 30 – Bicycle chain

30 uses of coconut oil that’s pretty incredible.
You can also use coconut oil to grease a bicycle chain. If you want to try to use a green grease, try a little bit of coconut oil on your bike chain to help it keep running smoothly. A thick layer is not needed as coconut oil solidifies at temperatures under 76 so you won’t want to come up your chain.

There you go 30 new uses for coconut oil.

I am Rishma, founder and admin of detoxtolive.com. I have been having health issues all my live. I have been in and out of hospitals all over Holland and have seen more specialists then I care to remember. In the end I got diagnosed with Aspergers and Fibromyalgia. Of course the healthcare system can give you all kinds of diagnoses and usually the answer is, we can’t make you healthy, but we will give you medicine that might help you, they might have all kinds of side effects and you need to keep taking them for the rest of your life. I didn’t really feel much to sign up for that. I wanted to know what the underlying cause was and the regular healthcare system was not able to answer my questions. So I went of on this quest of trying to find answers. And the more I started digging, the more questions I got. I did find some answers though. I started realizing that in all these so called western diseases, our immune system seemed to play a major role. Our bodies are under attack and in a lot of cases it is no longer able to defend itself. That is where detox comes in, no matter what protocol I followed or follow, detoxing is always a factor. And it is not just the physical body that needs detoxing. The negative influences come from all sides, and they do not always show them selves clearly.
