I think most of us have heard how wonderful coconut oil is for us to eat. Some of us may have even heard how wonderful it is for our skin.
But did you know there are more than 160 uses for coconut oil?
Coconut Oil For Your Skin - Nourishing Your Body From the Outside In by Jennifer at Hybrid Rasta Mama is a wonderful collection of nourishing recipes.
Why use coconut oil for your skin? Coconut oil is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-viral, is an antioxidant, and fights infection.
I have personally used coconut oil as a deodorant, to wash and moisturize my face, as a hair conditioner and makeup remover, and more. It works.
In the Carrier Oils and Butters section of Coconut Oil For Your Skin, Jennifer lists the oils and butters you will find in the recipes. Avocado oil, almond oil, cocoa butter, and of course coconut oil.
I love the section on Essential Oils. Here Jennifer lists the essential oil along with the physical benefits and emotional benefits. This is good to know!

This looks great, I have used coconut oil as a moisturizer and also to taken orally to keep away cold sores. I went to sri lanka and was amazed at all the uses for coconuts, from using the sap to make alcohol, the shells as bowls but also fuel, eating of course and so much more. I’d like to try it as a conditioner. What an incredible food!
