Shaving With Coconut Oil
Want smoother, silkier legs? Try coconut oil for shaving!
Shaving with coconut oil has so many benefits, including moisturizing and healing skin, while you shave!
Recently, coconut oil took over the beauty industry as a an affordable multi-tasking miracle product that could potentially replace pretty everything in your beauty routine. From hair masks to eyelash serum, moisturizer and even shaving cream, seems coconut oil really can do it all! A recent fave of mine is using coconut oil as shaving cream, and the results are soo smooth!
I love trying all natural beauty products instead of the chemically stuff found in many beauty stores! I think the natural stuff is more effective and it’s better for the environment! Coconut oil is also pretty cheap. I found a huge tub for under $20 at Costco, which will probably last me a year!
Want to try a nourishing face oil that is so light it absorbs quickly and won’t break you out? Ayurvedic skin care leaves you with glowing, clear skin so beautiful you won’t even need makeup anymore!

Anyway back to the coconut oil! I keep a little jar of coconut oil in my shower. Coconut oil solidifies at a pretty moderate temperature, but the warmth from your shower will melt the oil for a smooth application!
How To Shave With Coconut Oil
Prep:
Exfoliate. Remove dead skin and unclog your pores for a closer shave!
Make sure your razor is sharp! No matter what cream you use to shave, nothing will work well with a dull razor! Also dull razors can snag and cut your skin:(
Shave:
I scoop about a teaspoon per leg, rubbing it in my hands to melt the coconut oil! I rub it onto my leg and shave as normal! I find my razor doesn’t get as clogged up when I use coconut oil compared to typical shaving cream! I think this allows for a closer shave, which means smoother legs!
Dry:
Pat dry don’t rub! Once I was dry, the one thing I instantly noticed was that I didn’t have to immediately reach for my moisturizer! My legs felt comfortable, not the usual dry and irritated!
The Results:
I never thought I could moisturize WHILE I shaved! And that my legs wouldn’t be dry and irritated after I shaved! I was also amazed at how soft and smooth legs were! It was like I was actually able to get a close shave because there wasn’t all kinds of gunk blocking the razor.
Smooth, close shave and no irriation!
Try It:
Keep a little jar of coconut oil in your shower and next time you’re feeling prickly, reach for the coconut oil instead of shaving cream and you’ll be smooth as heck!
Benefits Of Coconut Oil On Skin
What Can Coconut Oil Do for Your Skin?
Shaving with coconut oil isn’t the only beauty benefit! The benefits of coconut oil on skin are many!! In the past, coconut oil has gotten a bad reputation because it’s an oil! But the fact of the matter is that coconut oil has one of the richest sources of saturated fat, with about 90% of its calories in saturated fat. It’s also amazing for your skin, and can even help you get that glow back!
Why You Should Use Coconut Oil on Your Skin Instead of Lotion
Those other commercial moisturizers make you feel as though your skin is nourished because of the water content, but as soon as that water dries, your skin becomes dry and dehydrated. Many of these moisturizers contain petroleum-based ingredients that will, in the long run, suffocate your skin.
But, coconut oil can provide you with a deep hydration because it actually penetrates your tissue! It will help to strengthen your primary tissues. It can also remove any excess dead cells on the skin’s surface which can make your skin appear rough and scaly. It’s pretty much an exfoliation, hydrating miracle!
Got a skin problem? Coconut oil can help! It can soothe bug bites, help with any rashes, get rid of flaky skin, easily remove any eye makeup, soften wrinkles, protect you from sun damage, and it can help you keep your tan looking dark, longer!
Coconut Oil Healing Power!
Lastly, it can heal skin faster. This is because coconut oil has medium chain fatty acids. It will quickly absorb into the skin where it will then be used for nutrition and energy. This process provides your skin with all the energy that it will need to heal and maintain itself.
Skin Benefits Of Coconut Oil
Coconut oil has been proven to have antibacterial and antifungal properties.
It can help cure your acne; it kills the bacteria causing the blemishes in the skin.
Coconut oil can be applied as a deodorant and can be used to remove any body odor.
Mixed with a few drops of bergamot essential oil, coconut oil can help to heal chapped lips and cold sores.
Coconut oil is natural – there are no chemicals in it.
The Vitamin E found in coconut oil is known to help soothe psoriasis and eczema.
There are three fatty acids found in coconut oil: capric acid, lauric acid, and caprylic acid. All three of these acids can kill candida, which is a common cause of fungal infections in the skin.
Coconut oil can be used as a cloth diaper cream. It can be used as a barrier to help prevent diaper rash.
Coconut oil helps lighten age spots.
It helps prevent stretch marks when pregnant.
When used consistently on skin, it can get rid of cellulite.

Coconut oil, in addition to all this. its a good helping heal wounds and scars, is ideal for moisturizing the skin, especially those that are very dry.
Can you use regular cooking Coconut oil?
Worth to try. Easy to have, and I bet it won’t hurt as much as the other products when it does not satisfy. Thanks for this. Might try soon!

Oh. Wow, I had no idea that it can be used as a shaving cream. That’s pretty amazing. I use coconut oil for my skin care. Would try for shaving too.

I loved this post about coconut oil and its benefits. Certainly, coconut oil has so many powerful features for wellness overall, and sometimes we are missing out on them for not taking advantage of this gift of nature. I use it regularly for my hair and skin. It is also said that coconut can help whiten your teeth. How amazing is that!
Yes oil pulling! I’ve heard of it but I haven’t tried it! I also use it on my hair every day:) my fave product!!

really coconut oil have multiple benefit and we have to use it. but bad thing is that we do not know about them properly and think that it is not useful and move to harsh chemical. there are endless uses of coconut oil if you find them you will get it.
