DOLCE LIFESTYLE: Unique Uses for Coconut Oil<\/h2>\n

by Samantha Coogan, MS, RDN, LD<\/h4>\n

Coconut oil has become very popular in cooking due to its high smoke point, which prevents foods from being degraded too quickly. However, there are so many unconventional uses for coconut oil (due largely to its healthy fat content), which provides a lot of bang for your buck. Plus it is a more organic, Earth-friendly, animal-friendly alternative to many products!
\n\u2022\tAdd it to coffee \u2013 usually 1 Tbsp. is sufficient
\n\u2022\tUse it as a skin moisturizer. Pregnant? This is s a great remedy to prevent stretch marks.
\n\u2022\tBreastfeeding? The nipples can become dry and sore during the process, but if you apply coconut oil to the area a few times a day, you can reduce the pain in a natural way.
\n\u2022\tMake homemade lotions or deodorants out of it
\n\u2022\tUse in place of baby oil to remove make-up
\n\u2022\tWorks as a diaper cream for our little ones
\n\u2022\tCoconut oil naturally has an SPF of 4, so use it in conjunction with sunscreen for increased skin protection
\n\u2022\tUse a little dab in your hair to get rid of frizz
\n\u2022\tUse in place of regular lip balms, which are usually tested on animals
\n\u2022\tUse in place of Neosporin\u00ae for cuts and burns
\n\u2022\tAfter delivery, apply a small amount to the perineum to speed up the healing process
