Natural Beauty DIY: Ways To Add Coconut Oil To Your Beauty Routine

For those of us who've had enough of chemical-based beauty products constantly failing us and making things worse, there's another way. While advertising campaigns never cease to tempt you with new skincare formulas, centuries-old Ayurvedic wisdom will never fail you. It is always beneficial to go back to your roots and embrace natural skincare and DIY beauty.

Homemade beauty products containing natural ingredients such as coconut oil, honey, turmeric, etc., are not only safe to use, but they have also been the secret behind your grandmother's flawless skin for years. Among these, coconut oil is one of the most beneficial and nourishing ingredients that has become a staple in the basic skincare routine of many.

So, if you've been wanting to switch to a beauty routine that's solely natural, we have something for you. Here are the benefits of using virgin based coconut oil in your everyday beauty routine.

Benefits of using virgin based coconut oil on the skin

  • Seals moisture: Coconut oil keeps the skin hydrated by reducing the level of water loss from your body. This, in turn, improves your skin's elasticity and promotes collagen production.
  • Is antibacterial: It is made up of nourishing fatty acids, such as lauric acid, that eliminate the germs and bacteria from your skin, thereby reducing skin irritation or rashes.
  • Eases inflammation: Coconut oil acts as the first line of defence to support your skin's natural barrier and provides intense moisturisation, thereby reducing skin inflammation.

  • Nourishes the hair: Regularly using this all-natural oil will nourish your parched locks and reduce protein loss and damage caused due to artificial styling products.

Now that you're privy to the many benefits of coconut oil, here are some ways to add this natural beauty elixir to your basic skincare routine. You must also check out our blog on the beauty benefits of using virgin based coconut oil.

DIY recipes using coconut oil

1. Face mask for smooth, soft, and glowing skin

Benefit: Daily application of this coconut oil and turmeric mixture reduces skin dryness, redness, and inflammation. Moreover, it also helps decrease unwanted hair growth on the face.

Mix a teaspoon of turmeric powder with coconut oil and form a smooth paste. Apply it on your face and leave it on for 15 minutes. Rinse your face with lukewarm water and pat dry with a soft, clean face towel.

2. Natural exfoliating mask for glowing face

Benefit: Coffee acts as an excellent exfoliator that helps remove dead skin cells. This coconut oil and coffee mask can give you soft, glowing, and fresh-looking skin.

Mix some coconut oil and ground coffee and apply it to your face in gentle, circular motions. Remember to leave out the area around your eyes, mouth, and nose. Let it stay for 15 minutes and rinse off using lukewarm water.

3. Face mask for smooth and acne-free skin

Benefit: This DIY coconut mask with coconut oil and honey helps clear acne and keeps your skin soft, supple, and glowing.

4. Coconut oil hair mask for nourished and dandruff-free scalp

Benefit: Using this coconut oil and lemon mixture twice a week will nourish your hair and reduce dandruff.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of coconut oil to a bowl and heat it a little. Next, pinch a dash of lemon juice in it and gently massage the mixture on your scalp. Leave this coconut oil and lemon mixture for 30 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water.

5. Hair mask for stronger, smoother, and shinier hair

Benefit: Use this DIY treatment of aloe vera and coconut oil for hair once a week to boost your hair volume. Mix 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a bowl.
