Once upon a time I used to have what I would call a “product” problem. Meaning, I had lots and lots of different products in my bathroom. Products for my skin, my hair, my teeth, etc. Lots of them.

These days I like to keep things simple. But there is ONE important product that I still make sure to keep in my bathroom at all times. Can you guess what it is? Coconut Oil.

Why is coconut oil so great to keep in your bathroom?

Let’s count the ways:

1. Oil Cleansing Method

Not too long ago I read about the OCM from Thank Your Body and have been hooked every since. Your skin will never be the same. Thank you, coconut oil!

2. Oil Pulling

Want the whitest teeth and healthiest gums? Check out oil pulling.

3. Baby soft legs

Try shaving with some coconut oil. Just rub in a small amount and shave away. You can thank me later.

4. Healthiest Scalp Ever

As someone who has struggled with dandruff for a long time, learning about this awesome deep conditioning coconut oil treatment changed my life. Even if you don’t have dandruff, I promise this stuff will make your head feel AWESOME.

5. Whipped Body Butter

Yes, it’s as amazing as it sounds. I love this recipe and am excited to try all of these recipes, too.

6. Soothe Irritated Skin

Coconut oil helps to soothe rashes and burns. I used it on all my babies when diaper rash showed its ugly face.

7. Smooth Hair

No more flyaways. A teeny amount of coconut oil can help keep frizzy hair at bay.

8. Healthy Nails

Massage coconut oil into your cuticles and notice how much healthier they get over time.

9. Boost Metabolism

Okay, so maybe this one doesn’t belong in the bathroom, but it’s a good reminder to get some healthy coconut oil in your diet, too.

P.S. A friend shared this with me and I thought I would pass it on. You can get a FREE jar of organic coconut oil from Thrive Market. Check it out here.
