THREE FANTASTIC BEAUTY USES FOR COCONUT OIL

September 16, 2015
This is a sponsored post on behalf of LouAna Organic Coconut Oil. As always, all opinions are my own.

Hey guys! We are back with another post in our beauty uses for coconut oil with LouAna series! I’m super excited to share today’s post with y’all. I’ve stepped outside of the box a bit with today’s DIY projects and you are going to be super excited to whip these up at home and try them out. Part of creating this fun series with LouAna Organic Coconut Oil is to show you all the ways you can use their coconut oil in your beauty routine.

Today we are going to learn to make a DIY Sea Salt spray for those beachy waves and textured hair lovers. A super easy lip balm and a facial cleanser! Let’s get started!
Do It Yourself Facial Cleanser

One of my favorite ways to cleanse my face at night, after a long day, is using the oil cleansing method. So many brands these days are jumping on the oil cleansing trend and coming out with their own products. However, after a lot of trial and error I realized that I could make my own facial cleanser at home and it works just as well if not better than most store bought oil cleansers. While I know a lot of people think the oil cleansing method is a little weird, I promise that once you’ve tried it you’ll never wash your face another way again.

Do It Yourself Facial Cleanser

This DIY version is so easy to make and so inexpensive. For our first DIY you’re going to need to grab your LouAna Organic Coconut Oil, I know you have it on hand after learning how awesome it was in our first post. Some castor oil and an essential oils of your choice, though that is completely optional. I use rose hip oil because I love the way it smells and how moisturized it leaves my skin feeling.

The castor oil is what is going to carry the dirt, makeup and impurities away from your skin. Castor oil is a bit of a drying oil so if you have dry skin you’re going to want to use less of it.

DIRECTIONS:

  • Place  your castor oil and LouAna organic coconut oil together in a glass bowl or jar and place in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
  • Once you’ve got your liquefied mixture, drop in about 30 drops of essential oil and mix.

The coconut oil may solidify on you a bit over time, I just run my glass jar under warm water and shake before using and it does the trick. I found the glass storage jar at Target for a dollar.

NOTE* For dry skin, use 3 parts coconut oil to 1 part castor oil. For normal skin, use 2 parts coconut oil to 2 parts castor oil. For oily skin, use 1 part coconut oil to 3 parts castor oil.

Do It Yourself Facial Cleanser

I use this every night and I usually just pour a little bit onto my cleansing cloths and rub all over my face rinsing with luke warm water. This also works perfectly for removing makeup and is gentle enough to use around your eyes.

Do It Yourself Pineapple Lip BalmFor this super delicious DIY I’m pairing my LouAna Organic Coconut Oil with some pineapple flavoring to give you the most delicious lip balm ever, in my opinion. All you need for this is your coconut oil, pineapple flavoring which you can pick up at most craft stores in their baking section and lip balm tubes. I used an old chapstick tube and just dug out the leftovers, cleaned it up and peeled off the label, replacing it with some super cute pineapple washi tape.

DIRECTIONS:

  • Take 1 Tbsp. of LouAna Organic Coconut Oil and place it in a microwave safe dish and heat for 15 seconds.
  • Drop in 3 drops of pineapple flavoring.
  • Pour your liquefied mixture into your tube of choice and let set for about an hour.

See? So easy! If you want to make these as gifts, just double, triple or quadruple the recipe until you have all you need for your holder of choice. They leave your lips tasting delicious and super hydrated!

Do It Yourself Sea Salt Spray

I think that maybe I am most excited to share this DIY with you, it’s so much fun and so easy to make!! A DIY Sea Salt spray! I love the beachy waves look but I can’t always spend my days laying on the beach to get it so this baby is the next best thing.

Do It Yourself Sea Salt Spray

his baby is composed of four ingredients, LouAna Organic Coconut Oil, sea salt, warm water and hair gel. You will be surprised with the awesome results you get! It’s also super moisturizing and leaves your hair smelling and looking amazing.

DIRECTIONS:

  • In the microwave, melt down 1 tbsp. of LouAna Organic Coconut Oil
  • Combine all of your ingredients into a plastic spray bottle and shake well to dissolve.
  • Spray and style!

NOTE* If your coconut oil begins to solidify over time, run your spray bottle under warm water and shake well.

Do It Yourself Sea Salt Spray

Spray it generously over damp hair and style as usual. I usually use a teasing comb to get some volume and blowdry with a diffuser attachment.

Each of this DIYs is super easy and fun to make, let me know in the comments if you try any of them out. Be sure to check out our first post with LouAna Organic Coconut Oil for other super fun DIYS.

    Coconut oil has always been my favorite. I have used it as a moisturizer for years, but never used it as a cleanser. Thanks for sharing this article.

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter.” - @beelzeboobz⁣

In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣

The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣

I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣

Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

⁣
1️⃣ My hair has been over 50 different colors. Some of them all at the same time. It’s naturally blonde though⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2️⃣ I went to an all girls catholic high school and was asked not to take Spanish 3 because I talked too much 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4️⃣ I’m a double ♊️ which means I’m talkative, fiercely loyal and endlessly curious. Paired with being an enneagram 8 and it probably also means I’m a little bit psycho 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
5️⃣ I listen to murder podcasts to fall asleep.⠀⁣
⠀⁣

⠀⁣
7️⃣ I love the hottest hot sauces that most people won’t even smell. ⠀⁣

🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

🌟 I’m so glad you’re here! I’d love to hear a fun fact about you!! 🌟 ⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
