Crazy for COCONUT with Carrington Farms

The winter woes of dry skin, dehydrated hair and cracked lips can certainly leave a girl feeling less like her normal, beautiful self. I'm sure you’ve heard of the many health benefits of Coconut Oil (and the millions of ways you can use it), but this jack-of-all-trades product becomes the beauty mavens BFF during the winter months. Switching from your standard beauty products to Coconut Oil will not only save you tons of money, but will help to revitalize and rejuvenate your look.So, start your spring cleaning early! Give Coconut Oil a try and replace the below 8 products that are taking up room in your bathroom vanity:

  1. DAILY MOISTURIZER - Coconut Oil is known to moisturize the skin just as well, if not better, than most lotions. It’s made up of Medium Chain Fatty Acids that enhance the moisture barrier of your skin, further protecting it from dryness

  2. EYE MAKEUP REMOVER - Remove stubborn eye makeup by dabbing coconut oil on a cotton ball. It’s a safe and natural alternative to some of the harsh chemicals found in generic makeup removers

  3. DEEP CONDITIONER - Coconut Oil contains proteins not found in other hair oils, helping hair retain its natural moisture and make it stronger

  4. CHAPSTICK - Mix coconut oil with less than a teaspoon of sugar to exfoliate cracked lips

  5. FRIZZ FIGHTER - Forget the sprays and simply tame the frizz with a dime-sized drop of coconut oil

  6. WRINKLE CREAM - Apply under eyes to help prevent wrinkles and hydrate the skin

  7. TEETH WHITENER - Ever try oil pulling? By swishing a tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes a day, you’ll have a brighter smile and even improved oral health

  8. SHAVING CREAM - Not only can coconut oil replace shaving cream, but it also soothes sensitive skin as an added bonus. Razor burn be gone!
