與椰子油的18個驚人的秀麗技巧

探索椰子油對頭發(fā)，皮膚和面部的天然美容功效。

讓我們向后工作吧。當你想到椰子油的健康益處時，我們會想到最后想到的是在你臉上涂抹可食用的植物油脂。或者你的手臂。或椰子油為你的頭發(fā)。但是越來越多的研究，無數(shù)的專家和一群自然美的奉獻者都在為這些東西發(fā)誓。他們是什么？

是的，據(jù)我們的專家說。椰子油被用于許多天然美容產(chǎn)品，并且有充分的理由：它天然抗菌和抗真菌，皮膚椰子油是一種極好的保濕劑，它可以比其他油更好地滲透頭發(fā)，而且，它聞起來像餅干。

“百勝，”亞利桑那中西醫(yī)結(jié)合中心獎學金項目主任Tieraona Low Dog博士說。“還有比椰子油更甜美的東西嗎？”

我們什么都想不到。但是我們可以在你自己的家中想到它的18種驚人用途，它們不需要花錢購買商店購買的產(chǎn)品。事實上，你所需要的只是一件事：原始的（最好是有機的）初榨椰子油。

親自嘗試這些全天然的DIY美容技巧椰子油！

頭發(fā)

1.隔夜對你的股線進行深度調(diào)節(jié)

根據(jù)研究，許多護發(fā)素含有椰子油是有原因的：它比礦物質(zhì)和葵花籽油能更好地滲透頭發(fā)（并防止蛋白質(zhì)流失）。“我使用椰子油將頭發(fā)和皮膚用于深層調(diào)理，”Tasneem Bhatia博士說，他是一名綜合醫(yī)生，也是亞特蘭大整體與整合醫(yī)學中心的老板。在頭發(fā)上涂上四分之一大小的疙瘩，梳理，然后將其堆成松散的發(fā)髻。你需要在枕頭上放一條柔軟的毛巾或睡在浴帽上。早上，洗發(fā)水像往常一樣用溫和的清潔劑。

2.馴服毛躁

如果你努力馴服你的鬃毛，椰子油肯定會有所幫助。用一點油來平靜你的毛躁，飛散的股線，讓你的頭發(fā)看起來光滑和拋光。作為直油的替代品，您還可以使用這種椰子油頭發(fā)精華素的產(chǎn)品，它可以滋養(yǎng)您的頭發(fā)，同時保護它免受熱量造型工具的影響。

3.增添光澤

將少量有機椰子油涂抹在頭發(fā)末端，如果你有深色頭發(fā)，可以增加一點光澤。請記住，輕拍會讓你：再多了，你的頭發(fā)可能會顯得油膩。

4.盡量減少頭皮屑

頭皮屑最常見的原因之一是頭皮干燥。但是在你花錢買特殊洗發(fā)水之前，試著用超保濕椰子油治療來減少問題：在爐子上用低火焰加熱2或3湯匙油。一旦液化，立即將其從爐子中取出，這樣它就不會變得太熱。然后，按摩油到你的頭皮。如果你有任何剩余的油，你可以用它來涂抹其余的頭發(fā)。讓油在你的頭皮上坐30分鐘，然后用洗發(fā)水洗掉。（淋浴帽將包含混合物，并防止它在你等待時滴在你身上。）如果問題仍然存在，嘗試其他一些頭皮屑補救措施。

5.清潔你的臉

因為椰子油具有天然的抗菌，抗真菌，保濕作用，并且根據(jù)研究，對于特應(yīng)性皮炎非常有效，許多女性也因為它的面部使用而作為夜間保濕劑。嘗試雙重清潔方法：只需在臉部和頸部以圓形運動方式揉搓油，隨時輕輕按摩。完成后，用您最喜歡的清潔劑清洗殘留物。（如果您容易長痘痘，除非您知道您的皮膚能夠耐受椰子油，否則請避免使用此技術(shù)。）

6.去除眼部化妝品

是的，椰子油甚至適用于防水睫毛膏！將一點點放在棉球上并輕輕掃過眼睛，同時注意你的眼睛。油可以很好地分解蠟質(zhì)，墨水的眼妝，并使精致的區(qū)域保持水分。完成后，像往常一樣洗臉。

7.給自己一個完美的噘嘴

用椰子油制成的自制著色光澤，可以消除干裂，片狀的嘴唇，甚至為你的噘嘴增添一抹色彩。為了制作它，只需將舊口紅和一些椰子油混合在一起。對于需要更多TLC的嘴唇，可以通過用口紅位代替一些紅糖和蜂蜜來制作滋養(yǎng)唇膏。將混合物放在柔軟的牙刷上，然后用圓周運動輕輕去除角質(zhì)。將混合物放在嘴上一分鐘，然后用濕布將其取下。

去角質(zhì)后，滋潤你的嘴唇

一旦你的嘴唇如絲般光滑，用一點椰子油浸泡它們，增加水分和光澤。你可以添加直的椰子油（在一個像接觸盒一樣的小容器中），制作你自己的DIY混合物，或購買用椰子油制成的有機潤唇膏，就像這個三包裝，也使用桉樹/薄荷精油，香草和柑橘。

9.再給你breat ^ h

還記得拉油嗎？事實證明，在嘴里晃動椰子油（或任何有機蔬菜食用油）實際上可能會將毒性從口中拉出來。只需將它繞在嘴上旋轉(zhuǎn)10到20分鐘，直到它變成乳白色，然后將其吐出到垃圾桶中并用水沖洗。一位作家發(fā)現(xiàn)，如果這聽起來像是花費15分鐘的粗暴方式，那么你會感到驚訝 - 它會很快變得常規(guī)，甚至可以感到冥想和放松。

10.突出你的臉頰

沒有什么東西可以像疲憊的小熒光筆那樣讓人疲憊不堪，但你不需要商店購買的產(chǎn)品來達到同樣的效果。只需掃上有機椰子油少量頂級化妝和息事寧人。它看起來像你的皮膚，但更發(fā)光，這就是為什么許多天然化妝品牌將其用作配方中的基本成分。如果您正在尋找更便攜的選擇，可以嘗試一下RMS Beauty（$ 38，amazon.com）最受歡迎的Living Luminizer ，它有椰子油基和光反射顏料。

身體

11.撫慰干燥的雙手

當你在旅途中時，這不適用于干燥的數(shù)字，但在家里，皮膚椰子油可以在洗碗干手上創(chuàng)造奇跡。你可以在當?shù)氐碾s貨店買一個罐子，或者試試Viva Naturals的這種有機椰子油（$ 10.25，amazon.com）。“我在廚房的水槽里放了一罐有機特級初榨椰子油，洗完手后再放一點，以保持柔軟和濕潤，”Low Dog說。如果你用椰子油做飯 - 你可以在烘焙食譜中加入黃油，因為它在室溫下是堅固的 - 也可以為你的手舀出一點額外的東西。“每當我用椰子油做飯時，我都要確保用它來潤濕我的雙手，”總部位于紐約的整體健康和營養(yǎng)教練Katrine van Wyk說。

12.剃光你的腿

傳統(tǒng)的剃須膏是一種昂貴的化學品混合物，你不需要在你的腿或腋下做一個很好的清潔剃須。另一方面，椰子油價格低廉，天然抗菌，并且具有神圣的氣味。此外，它的皮膚舒緩特性會讓你的雙腿看起來水潤（但從不油膩）。

13.滋潤你的身體

最近的動物研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，當局部使用時，用于皮膚的原始有機椰子油可以加速傷口愈合，人體研究發(fā)現(xiàn)它可以有效增加水分，減少嚴重干燥皮膚的水分流失。聽起來像是給我們一個非常好的乳液配方！它也是健康專家的最愛。Wyk說：“味道鮮美，非常實惠，讓我的皮膚感覺滋養(yǎng)和光滑?！?/span>

14.稍微減少一下

許多商店購買的按摩油以椰子油或荷荷巴油為基礎(chǔ)。切出中間人，直接去瓶子。它很滑，親膚，保濕。

15.創(chuàng)造一個甘美的身體磨砂膏

這里有一個小小的DIY美容秘訣：那個商店買的身體擦洗你為特殊場合保存？這是浪費錢。那是因為你可以用你廚房里已有的原料制作一個。低狗同意。“我喜歡這樣做。它非常滋潤，非常適合皮膚，價格便宜，并且幸福地沒有化學物質(zhì)，你無法發(fā)音！” 為了制作自己的產(chǎn)品，Low Dog建議在極低的溫度下融化1/2 c椰子油。將其倒入1 c紅糖或鹽中攪拌均勻。如果您手邊有一些，可以加入五滴您最喜歡的精油或一些純香草精，以便擦洗，這樣香氣讓您想要吃它。

16.滋養(yǎng)破裂的角質(zhì)層

將椰子油按摩到角質(zhì)層和指甲周圍的皮膚可以為身體常常被忽視的部分帶來急需的水分。好處？你將抵擋破裂的皮膚，防止掛釘，并有更健康的甲床。

17.在洗澡時緩解牛皮癬

除了使熱水浴更加奢華，在浴缸中加入幾湯匙椰子油可以緩解由牛皮癬引起的發(fā)癢，鱗狀皮膚，滋潤肌膚。但是，不要用油過度或在浴缸中徘徊太久，以免你最終被困在這個不幸的女人身上。

18.修補你的小狗的爪子

好吧，這個對你的狗來說是一個美容秘訣，但即使是我們毛茸茸的朋友也需要一點點呵護！如果你的小狗喜歡徒步旅行和其他戶外活動，他的爪子會因為所有的壓力而變得破裂和生硬。在他的爪子上擦一點椰子油 - 它既可以作為防腐劑和保濕劑，也可以幫助他愈合。要估計使用量，請測量約1茶匙。每10磅體重的油。雖然椰子油已被證明對大多數(shù)狗來說是完全安全的，但如果您的幼犬有健康狀況，您應(yīng)該先使用獸醫(yī)檢查。

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 ? 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.
