10 Cheap Beauty Hacks with Coconut Oil

When people ask me what my favourite beauty product is, the answer is probably coconut oil. I seriously use coconut oil so much as a beauty product (and rarely when I cook…). It’s more likely to be found in my bathroom rather than my kitchen!

Coconut oil is such a versatile product and you can use it for so many different things. Here are some awesome cheap beauty hacks using coconut oil! Using these hacks on a regular basis will save you so much money because you can eliminate the need of buying these things separately. I personally use most of these hacks myself!

Important note about coconut oil: unfortunately, coconut oil has a dark side. Most people aren’t aware of this, as I had no idea that this was going on until somewhat recently. It really pains my heart to report that (yet again) animal exploitation is very much involved with coconut oil harvesting. In summary, monkeys are being literally enslaved and forced to pick coconuts – please click here to read a blog post that goes into detail about this. Now FORTUNATELY, there are many different brands of coconut oil that you could get that have confirmed that they do not use these cruel practices. The list is in the blog post and I’ve also made a list here where you can go and purchase some cruelty-free coconut oil.
