Nana Lana’s Coconut Oil Beauty Tips
If you haven’t yet discovered the luxurious, super-moisturizing benefits of coconut oil, Nana Lana suggests running (not walking) to get some right now—unless you have a coconut allergy. For skin and hair application, be sure to use unrefined, extra virgin coconut oil. Below are just a few uses for this magical hydrator.
Slather it on as an extreme skin softener. Coconut oil is solid below 76 degrees, so either rub between your palms to warm it before applying or heat it in a wax warmer for a few minutes until it becomes liquid. (Don’t forget to test the temperature to make sure it isn’t too hot.) Putting it on immediately following a shower or right before bed will work wonders on parched skin. Be sure to put on old clothes or a robe for a few minutes
