Coconut oil is sort of a wonder oil with a million uses. It's just as good at conditioning
the hair as it is at softening the skin on the body, as it is at moisturizing dry spots,
cuticles, and actually removing make-up. It's one of the best natural make-up removers you
can use.
Coconut oil does have the unique ability that most other oils do not have to penetrate the
hair shaft and prevent protein loss in the hair, so if you're using coconut oil as a
pre-shampoo treatment, when you're shampooing the hair with coconut oil that's been applied
to it beforehand, your hair will be less prone to breakage or moisture loss.
As a make-up remover, it has a little bit of a dry oil texture, so it doesn't feel like
other oils, which can feel greasy as you're removing make-up. It really has the ability
to slip make-up away, even if it's waterproof mascara, just when using it with a very soft
facial cloth.
The best coconut oil to use for the skin is organic, raw coconut oil, which you can find
at your natural health food store.
