4. Lip balm.

Like your skin, your lips can become easily chapped any time of the year. Coconut oil is an excellent moisturizer and, when applied before doing anything outdoors, can protect your lips from hot sun and biting cold wind.

5. Makeup removal.

Makeup can be damaging to your skin over time, which makes coconut oil an excellent follow up to wearing makeup. And instead of using expensive makeup removers or scrubbing the bejesus out of your skin to get it off, apply coconut oil and gently wipe away.

6. Shaving cream.

Commercial shaving creams contain ingredients like diethanolamine and monoethanolamine, which are what makes the creams foam. This stuff has been found to disrupt hormones and potentially create nitrosamines, which cause cancer. This stuff is all absorbable through the skin. Use coconut oil instead. It'll help keep your skin healthier too.
